A busy train can be an uncomfortable place to be, especially if you are squeezed in one of the last seats or standing for the majority of the journey.
While standing for hours on end can be a total chore, securing a seat can bring about a sense of relief as you get to rest your legs for a little while, reports the Mirror.
However, it's an unspoken rule that even if you did claim a seat first, you should give it up to those more in need, like those with disabilities, pregnant women or those with children.

One man admitted his rage on popular social forum Reddit after two selfish train passengers ended up "hoarding seats on the train" - while a mother and her son were searching for a place to sit.
The anonymous Reddit user explained: "So I'm on a packed train going from Milton Keynes to London. I'm sitting looking at two people both sitting on the aisle and blocking the window seat with their bags.
"I see a mum and her son looking for seats so I go grab them and tell them there are two spare seats over by me we just have to ask them to move.
"I ask if these people can move over and let the mother and child sit together. They both stand up and ask me where they should move. Granted I am tired and respond quite bluntly with 'I don't care just allow these guys to sit down'.
"One of them starts bickering with me saying, 'I'm sitting by my colleague' (even tho she was on a phone call the whole time). Keeps arguing saying, 'if someone wants to sit here they could just ask'.
"At this point, the mother and son have walked off to avoid the drama.
"I admit I could've handled it better myself but are the British public really so pathetic they can't use their common sense, have a bit of consideration for others and LET PEOPLE SIT IN THE AVAILABLE SEATS."
Since sharing his story, Reddit users flocked to the comments to agree with the man, and slam the selfish passengers.
One person admitted: "It really annoys me, it's not hard to put your bag on the floor."
A second said: "I just need to give a look, no words. They always move. It's a fairly uncompromising look that communicates an intent to either sit on them, their belongings or the seat that should be empty."
Meanwhile, a third admitted: "As a mum I would have told one to shift their bag and put my son in that seat, the other one should know what's coming next, because they'll be getting up to let me into the window seat opposite son."
