A train passenger was left seething after a woman tried to force them out of a reserved train seat on a 10-hour journey.
The agitated female even suggested that the passenger should sit on the floor after giving up their spot, which didn't go down well.
The passenger had a seat reserved for the duration of the 10-hour train journey, as they do the route regularly so know that people can end up sitting on the floor if they do not have a seat reservation.
Quite the scene ensued after the woman got on and demanded that they find another spot, claiming that they did not have a proper reservation.
Taking to Reddit, the passenger explained: "As I boarded the train on the first stop my reservation wasn't showing up after the train left the station.
"The seat next to me was labelled as reserved from the next city onwards. The train stops multiple times in the city, so there is no way of knowing when the other person will board the train.
"At some point a woman (let's label her woman A) sat next to me, asking if the empty one is the reserved seat. I said yes, assuming she is the one with the reservation and got confused about the numbering of the seats."
But issues arose at the next stop when a different woman entered the train and said that 'Woman A' was sat in her seat.
When Woman A argued she was not in the wrong seat, she said that it must be the Reddit poster who was in the wrong one - despite them having a ticket to prove their reservation.
The Redditor wrote: "Woman A refused to listen and was of the opinion that if Woman B has a reservation I must move because she was there first claiming the unreserved seat as the screen only shows one reservation.
"Therefore, regardless what's on my ticket, the reservation wouldn't be valid, and I must move so woman B can sit in my seat according to her. I told woman A that I am not going to give up my reserved seat. Woman B then threatened to find the train conductor if woman A refuses to get off her seat.
"Woman A then stated that she gets off the train at the next city and I could sit on the floor or stand and get my seat back 1.5h later. I refused again and after woman B threatened to find the conductor again woman A grudgingly got up and mumbled something as she went looking for a different seat."
The second female passenger then apologised to the disgruntled passenger for all the chaos.
