Entitled Woman Refuses To Take Bag Off Seat, Gets Taught Lesson

"I don't care!" the woman yelled back, standing up slightly to lean aggressively into the aisle. "This is exactly why I usually take Ubers! You people are disgusting! I shouldn't even have to breathe the same air as a bunch of cheap commuters who can't afford a real ride!" The sheer, high-and-mighty audacity of her words hung heavy in the muggy air. 

A wave of stunned silence rippled through the immediate crowd, quickly followed by a chorus of angry jeers. "Who do you think you are?!" a woman near the door shouted. "Take a taxi then!" another called out. Jessica stared at her, her jaw tight. The woman’s disdain was so absolute, so stubborn, that it felt like arguing with a brick wall. Realizing that shouting was getting nowhere, the surrounding crowd slowly fell into a hostile, resentful silence. 

The woman smirked triumphantly, popping her headphone back into her ear, and sat down again. She picked up a large, covered plastic cup of extra-large iced coffee from the floor between her feet, taking a long, arrogant sip through the green straw. Jessica retreated a step, gripping the metal pole, defeated.
