I had been planning a trip to the sea for 4 months. So I was saving money to go on vacation as soon as possible. I had only one option – to go to the sea by train. I’m afraid of airplanes and didn’t want to take any risks, and it would take a very long time by car. I had to travel 13 hours by train. When I bought the ticket, the only thing that upset me was that there were no seats on the lower shelf, and I wanted to sit at the bottom. -“If you want a seat on the bottom shelf, you can come back tomorrow, because all the tickets with seats on the bottom shelf are now sold out,” the cashier said.
I was over the moon when I finally bought a ticket to the sea, and in the seat I wanted. I didn’t want to lie on the top shelf, because I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the trip, and I didn’t want to bother my neighbors every time and ask permission to sit on the bottom shelf.The day of the trip came. I went into the compartment, took my seat and began to enjoy the sunset through the window. There was no one else in the compartment except me, so I enjoyed it too, but as they say, you shouldn’t get excited too early. I was soon joined by a young couple with their 7-year-old child. But the worst was yet to come. “Good afternoon, you lie down on the top shelf, and my husband and I will be on the bottom shelf,” the woman said.
I was surprised at her audacity. She did not even ask, but insisted, as if I was obliged to give them my place. I didn’t agree, because I had bought a ticket for this very seat a day later, and they were forcing me to move up. I said that I would not change my seat and if they didn’t leave me alone, I would call the supervisor. They realized that they would not get their way, because they had the top seats on their tickets, and they would not kick me out of my seat. I concluded that I should not always enter people’s position. You have to treat impudent people impudently.
