Little Boy Yelled at Wont Move Funny
The rude woman wasn't trying to keep her voice down as she yelled at the teenage boy, "I have two young children! You should have offered that seat to me the moment you saw me step on this bus, young man!"
Everyone was staring at them when he stood up and pulled the side of his jeans up. He revealed something that no one had seen coming, causing onlookers to gasp as the woman took a step back. Her face was completely flushed.
Thomas Scott
Thomas Scott was an employee at a Walgreen in Fort Worth, Texas. After working one of his usual 10-hour shifts, he made his way over to the bus station, exhausted and excited to go home.
He was so used to this commute that he could walk it in his sleep. He was practically on autopilot as he neared the station. As usual, the bus made it there just in time. Despite how tired he was, he still greeted the bus driver with a friendly smile and hopped in.
Few Seats Available
The bus was packed, more than it usually would be. Only a few seats were available. Thomas tiredly walked to the back of the bus and sat down on one of the free seats.
He sighed happily when he sat down. This was his first time sitting down in the last 11 hours. He got comfortable once the bus started moving. That was when his eyes landed on an unfamiliar face.
Unfamiliar Face
He noticed a young boy. Few people used the bus, and those that did would usually take the exact same route at the exact same time every day. Thomas got familiar with the other passengers, but he had never seen this boy before.
He glanced at him and noticed that he was sitting on the seats that were reserved for vulnerable people. The only people that were usually allowed to sit on these seats were disabled, pregnant women, or women with children. He wasn't the only one sitting on these seats.
Staring Mom
When the bus made its next stop, even more passengers stepped on board. Between the new passengers was a mom with two young children.
Thomas noticed the way she was eyeing him. She looked disgusted by the teenage boy sitting in the reserved seating. To everyone else, he looked like a perfectly healthy 18-year-old. She was shamelessly staring at him.
Ignoring Her
Thomas's eyes never left the woman as he watched her stare at the teen. She was visibly annoyed by the young teen. The boy minded his own business and ignored her. He started down at his phone and then outside of the window.
Thomas followed the boys' gaze and noticed the trees and wooden houses that the boy was staring at. But Thomas was alarmed when he looked back up at the woman.
Brace Himself
It annoyed her that he was acting so ignorant. Thomas could tell that she was losing her patience while staring at the boy. He could tell that she was trying to intimidate the boy into offering his seat by staring at him. Her plan wasn't working.
Thomas braced himself for what was to come next.
Direct Approach
When she realized that the boy was going to continue ignoring her passive-aggressive behavior, she decided to take a more direct approach.
She made her way over to the boy. Tension was rising for everyone at this point.
Unimpressed
She stopped right in front of the boy and bent down as she spoke in a firm voice. She made sure to speak loud enough for everyone to hear.
Everyone was staring at them now. The boy focused his eyes on her, he seemed unimpressed by the woman. Thomas knew that his attitude would only make things worse.
Confrontation
She raised her eyebrows at the boy as she spat, "Do you realize you're sitting in a reserved seat for vulnerable people? If you had any manners you'd offer that seat to someone more deserving!"
She stopped speaking, waiting for him to apologize and beg for mercy, but she did not get what she expected.
A Lesson
The teen said nothing so the woman continued, wanting to teach him a lesson. Unaware that her plan would epically backfire.
"I have two young children! You should have offered that seat to me the moment you saw me step on this bus, young man!". If anyone wasn't paying attention, they were now. Silence engulfed the bus.
Attention-grabbing
Thomas noticed the driver keeping watch on the situation from his front mirror. The teen boy raised his head and looked at everyone who was staring at him. Some were shaking their head in disapproval, others, like Thomas, were completely fixated on what his reaction would be.
Thomas could have never suspected what happened next.
Taking Caution
Thomas wondered if it would break into a brawl. This kid really didn't look like he cared about anything. He grabbed his phone, ready to call for help if needed.
Without a word, the boy stood up. The woman began to smirk, thinking she had won this battle but she was very very wrong.
Confrontation
The boy reached for the handlebars on the bus and steadied himself. "You think you deserve this seat just because you're a mom?", he jolted.
The boy was wearing denim jeans, a dark hoodie and chunky sneakers. Thomas could tell he was a cool kid. He still had one ear plug in his ear.
Back Bone
Thomas was on the edge of his seat. This kid had guts, standing up to the bull-headed woman like that with everyone watching him. He had to be careful or he'd have a bus-full of people against him.
The woman's smirk was quickly replaced by anger. "Yes, I certainly deserve it more than you!", she remarked. The boy laughed ironically before bending down and grabbing his jeans.
Hiding Something
The boy looked at everyone's eyes watching him as he struggled to get something from his jeans. He fiddled around and yanked at the ends of his bootleg denim jeans until the fabric came loose.
Everyone watched anxiously, wondering what on earth he was about to pull out of his garment. Safe to say, no one saw it coming - especially the entitled woman.
Worst Case Scenario
Thomas was on hyper-alert. He knew the dangers of the gun laws in Texas. Immediately, he feared the worst case scenario.
His heart pounded as his eyes were fixated on the teen boy's hands. Just then, he saw a bulge from underneath his jeans. A chill went down his spine.
Prosthetic Leg
The boy pulled up his jeans and kicked his prosthetic leg out. There was an audible gasp on the bus. Suddenly, everyone was horrified that this young boy was forced to prove himself to this woman.
Thomas watched as the mom's face went red with embarrassment and shame. Suddenly, she was speechless.
Sympathetic
And with everyone's attention on her, words failed to leave her mouth. Instead, she retreated back to her standing space without a word.
The boy looked around at everyone before sitting back down and fixing up his jeans. Thomas couldn't believe what just happened. Suddenly, an intense feeling came over him.
Ashamed
He felt awful for the boy. He almost felt sick to his stomach. Suddenly, he saw his brother who was also an amputee and had lost a limb in war.
Imagining his brother going through what the young man just went through made his heart pang with shame. He hoped he wasn't embarrassed so an idea came to his mind.
Encouragement
Thomas yelled, "Man, that leg is so cool! Shame on you, lady!". His single words of encouragement inspired other passengers to do the same.
Suddenly, an outburst of support and encouragement poured into the atmosphere for the young boy. And his reaction?
Smiling Again
It wasn't long before the young man was smiling again. He visibly looked much more confident about his disposition.
People clapped him on the back and apologized for seeing him experience that. But one lesson above all else, stuck with Thomas that day.
Deception
It's never okay to judge people by their looks. Especially when it comes to someone's conditions or 'disabilities'. Many people who suffer from conditions present as perfectly healthy-looking people.
This is why it's always important to approach everyone with kindness, compassion, and understanding. Which is exactly what Thomas decided to do next.
Making Connections
Once everyone was finished speaking up for the young boy, Thomas approached him and sat beside him.
He began to tell him that he had a brother who had the exact same condition. He explained to him how his brother lost his leg and told him of how well he's doing now - even winning medals in competitive sports. The boy smiled.
An Unlikely Mentor!
Thomas offered the boy his number and asked him to contact him if he'd ever like to meet someone like him. Perhaps they could relate in ways others couldn't understand.
The teen boy's face lit up. His eyes sparkled. He told Thomas that he's never met anyone like him and would love to talk to him. The pair ended up meeting and hit it off. Now, the boy has someone who understands what he's going through!
