A Stranger Taught This Teenager A Lesson After He Refused To Move His Legs On The Subway

 

The way it works is as follows: Each generation pride themselves to be the best that has ever existed. The millennials of today think they have what it takes to take over the world in big part because of the technology that we have in our hands. A few decades ago everything was more complicated and now they handle everything in a silver platter. We may know more about technology than past generations but that doesn’t mean we are better than them. Kids nowadays have lost some manners. There are things that each member of a society should now, it’s just the way it is and yet there are some kids who refuse to go by the rules. Good thing that one person decided to teach this kid a lesson.

Someone Should Teach Him A Lesson

Going to the subway means fighting for your sit time. Especially if you have a long ride ahead of you. however, as normal people, we only take one sit so there is as much as space as possible for the others. Well, a teenager somehow thought he had the right to take three sits just for himself but one person that was in the same wagon would not tolerate it.

Insensitive Passengers

Unfortunately, most of the people don’t own a car and can allow themselves to use it to go to work. The majority of the population has to use public transport which is extremely helpful. However, not everyone that you will bump into is going to be nice

An Eye For An Eye

It is true that when people get into a subway, a bus, or any other way of public transportation they get more easily irritated. Trains, buses, and subways have become a competition of who steps on who so our job is to show you how sometimes people can be very un-empathic and disrespectful

Rudeness 101

Many times we have been witnesses of things that happen when we are on a bus or a train that makes us feel uncomfortable. But again we are in a public space so it makes sense that not everybody will behave the same way as you would.

Disrespectful

Some passengers are extremely disrespectful towards others and decide to use other free spots to put their bags, even if that means that other passengers won’t be able to sit. Some people even put their music so loud that all the wagon can hear it.

Selfish Passengers

There are things way worse than just putting your bags on an empty seat such as putting your legs! So when someone kindly asks you to move your legs so that they can sit and you say no, that is simply unacceptable, disrespectful, and should not be tolerated.

Stay Peaceful

It is very hard to keep cool when you find yourself in an awkward situation in which something unfair is happening. Some people know how to deal with these situations peacefully and others just get caught in the moment and lose it.

Looking For Trouble

Regardless of your approach, one can never know how the other person is going to react to your comment. They can get up defensively and violently. Would it be worth it to get in a fight just because of a sit?

 

A Viral Tweet Post

Well, here we have a very interesting story that became viral overnight! The tweet was posted by a user who gained over 130.ooo likes in less than 24 hours! Not only this but the post received retweets and tons of comments.

Faith In Humanity

Funny thing is that we can influence people by using social media. Most of the comments said things like “This has made my day”, “As a new yorker this gives me life”,  “My faith in humanity has been restored,” and “it’s the only way children will learn! Which makes us wonder what is it that the tweet said that moved so many people?

Capturing Unforgettable Moments

It was this young woman called Isabel Kim who witnessed the moment in real life and was able to capture it on her Twitter account. Her profile has been very active ever since and she is known for capturing the good moments and sharing them with her followers.

Just An Average Day

One day like any other, she was in the subway on her way to work, and then she saw something weird and awkward happening right in from of her. For this reason, she began to take pictures, to have evidence.

He Has Another Plan

First things first, for those who are not acquainted with the subway, there are some trains who are not separated, and instead, there are long benches in which more than one person can sit. Now you are ready to hear about Isabel’s story.

A Young, Annoying Boy

The situation mentioned above what happens here, the wagon had benches that could fit at least three people. But some kid had something different in mind and decided to be rude towards the others.

Strange Passenger

In every public transport there’s always that one person who is commonly known as the “lay downer”, what does he do? exactly that, use more than one sit to be pretty comfortable and lay down. In this story, the young boy was laying down on her mother’s lap while at the same time using the whole bench.

Too Self-Absorbed

He was so focused on playing on his phone that he did not realize that there were people around him who were sitting just because he was taking up more than one spot of the train.

Ignoring People’s Request

For the correct functioning of society, each member should know that you should give up your seat for the seniors, for the pregnant woman, for those who have disabilities, and many others. It is just the way it is.

Parenting Skills Gone Wrong

More than one person asked the kid if he could take his feet out of the bench so that they could sit there, and yet the kid kept ignoring and going back to his phone. But what is even worse is that his mother was a witness to the whole situation and she didn’t do anything!!

The Mother Refused As Well

Not only she stayed quiet, but even worse she also ignored the people’s request and she said repeatedly “no”. You know what they say, “like a mother, like a son”  She was exactly like her son, hypnotized by her phone. People couldn’t give credit to what was happening.

They Got Frustrated

As time passed, the rest of the passengers were losing their patience and getting more and more upset, until finally, the kid felt the tension in the air. The tension that he was responsible for. So he tried to squeeze a little bit so that someone could sit and for them not to keep being upset.

Unsung Hero

Even if his intention was “good”, his legs were still taking up two additional spaces. People just started and gave up and didn’t do anything about it. That is until one passenger came out of the blue and saved the day!

Mysterious Man

Soon after, an enigmatic man appeared in the scene and started at the disrespect kid while he continued focused on his phone. This man was dressed all in black, wearing sunglasses and wearing a similar hair cut than Elton John. And actually many people thought he was the same Elton John

Uncover

Needless to say that the mysterious person wasn’t Elton John, but this didn’t make people less interested in this intriguing character. What was it that made him so popular on the subway?

Elton John Look A Like

As mysterious as he was, the Elton John twin was standing just like the rest of the passengers waiting for the kid to move his legs so that more people could sit down. But the kid kept on ignoring which enraged even more this person.

Taking Matters Into His Own Hands

The men had had enough of the kid’s rude attitude and he finally decided to do something about it and take the matter into his own hands. The child would forever remember what the man did

Moment Of Bravery

Some may call it bravery and others the contrary. But the man decided to sit on top of the kid’s legs! To be fair he had asked him on multiple occasions to move them. but eventually, the man’s patience worn off and he did what he did. He had also the right to sit. The kid at first decided to step away from this man.

A Truly Remarkable Moment

Lucky for us Isabel Kim was there to capture every single moment of what seems like a very long subway ride. Isabel captured the moment in which the man sat down on the kids’ legs, who in turn was shocked and with the mouth open. Some may say it was the first time that he didn’t get away with his behavior

He Has The Rights

All things considered, the enigmatic man had the right to sit down on the bench, even if that meant sitting on the kid’s legs. He was going to teach him a lesson after all since the kid named  Joe, wasn’t given the proper education. When his mother realized what was happening, it was already too late.

Blocking Out The Seats

What’s crazy is that his mother did not realize the fact that the men were sitting on top of his kid’s legs, and when Joe’s legs were finally set free, his mother noticed that they had missed their stop. She started blaming her son for that

Definitely A Crazy Moment

The only person that was to blame for what happened was her. She was the one drained by her phone to even notice the man sitting on her son’s legs. Well good thing our witness, Isabel, recorded every single moment.

The Mother Made A Scene

The mother of Joe decided to cause a scene that was pretty awkward for all the rest of the passengers. Not only had the son learned a lesson but also his mother started yelling at him for missing the bus stop and decided to get down in the next one.

He Cursed At The Man

But the story does not end here. Just before getting down of the wagon, the kid went to them to tell him what looked like something unpleasant: He started cursing at the stranger and saying horrible things to him.

He’s On The Shirt

This story became so viral that some people even made t-shirts out of it! Whoever made this t-shirt, captured Joe’s face in the exact moment when the Elton John look-alike sat in his legs.

Subway Folklore

This story will be forever remembered. After reading it, the names of Joe and the stranger will resonate each time you step foot in a subway! there’s always something new to learn

Subway Incident

The aftermath of this event is as follows: While some people were supporting the man who sat on the kid’s legs, others weren’t so sure about it and didn’t 100% agree with what happened and with those supporting it.

Subway Etiquette

The situation got so out of hands that some people began wondering if what the mad did was legal or if it should be considered as an assault. However, the majority of the people were advocates for the man’s decision to teach the kid a lesson. Yes, this story is pretty good, but when you go onto the next one, you will flip out!

He’s Just A Kid

For the past decades, the rates of bullying among kids have increased greatly. Some might say it in big part because of the influence of social media and the easy access kids have to the internet. Bullying is something that can not be tolerated. The first thing kids should be taught at home is to respect others always. Well this kid’s father was for sure not gonna let anything happen to this son so he decided to do something about it and teach the bullies something they would never forget,

He Was Bullied

Our victim is Joey Mason, a regular kid who enjoys going to the park, playing football… However, he was bullied every single day no matter what he did. Usually, he was bullied at school and so he would go to the park to forget about it and find joy. However one day, the bullies pursed them and continued offending the kid who was peacefully playing in the park.

A Happy Day Turned Into a Nightmare

When the bullying started, Joey was just in fourth grade, which is the reason why he decided to get away from the kids and play with his pets {a dog and a cat). he lived ina beautiful town in Toronto by a park where he would always go to play. It 3was actually his daily spot after school. That is until one day he spotted his bullies stepping into the park, and he knew trouble was coming.

I Am A Victim of Bullying

Joey could not take it anymore and decided to take action. The way he did this was by telling his story on social media with the following post” “My name is Joey and I’m 10 years old. I am a victim of bullying. It hurts me very much. Please, stop bullying.” Immediately many people who saw the post got intrigued but ost of them didn’t do anything. His father had no clue that his son was being bullied

He Felt Uneasy And Alarmed

Parents only want what’s best for us, and the worst thing for them is to see their kids suffering about something that it’s out of their control. Well, Joey’s father eventually realized that his son was going through something since he was unhappy. He worried so much that he decided to find out what was going on given that his son wouldn’t tell him.

Emotionally Despair

Deep down his father knew that from the time his son had started the new school, something was off and little by little the light of happiness was leaving him. He didn’t know exactly what was going on or what was the reason for his son’s unhappiness but it all started when he transferred schools.

Something’s Not Right

Every single day Joey would go back home crying and his father would see it. Clearly there was something going on and Joey was screaming for help. But his father didn’t have any type of prove that bullying was the cause of his son’s unhappiness. But this wouldn’t stop him, he decided to take matters into his own hands and investigate thoroughly what was going on. And when he learned the truth he realized it was time to do something about it.

He Came Up With The Best Plan

Each day that passed, Joey’s father was more worried about his wellbeing. It was breaking him to see his son suffering in that way. Soon enough, he would do something about it but he wasn’t totally sure of what. He designed a plan and wouldn’t stop until the plan came to life.

What Was The Cause Of Bullying?

He spent minutes, hours, and days trying to come out with the perfect plan, and eventually, he discovered who were the miserable bullies that were making his son that unhappy. He started wondering if his teacher was cooperating with his classmates or if he was aware that Joey was being bullied. To clear all his doubts, one day he followed his son to the park after school was over, and then is when he knew the truth.

His World Turned Upside Down

He just couldn’t believe that the safe place where his son was always happy, was starting to become his worst nightmare. Like every day, Joey was playing alone with his ball when the bullies approached him. Only this time there was someone else in that park.

He’s The Target

No one knew exactly what Joey had been the target of these bullies but what’s clear is that wherever he went, they followed. However, Joey was such a strong kid that he did his best not to pay attention to the insults. But the bullies would not give up and decided to go onto the next level

Joey Was In Trouble

Poor Joey was a sweet kid who was never getting in trouble or annoying anyone, which made him an even easier target for the bullies. For the rest, all was fine but soon enough they would learn the truth and Joey was in big trouble.

Someone’s Watching

At school, Joey would not defend himself as he was one against a whole group, and the rest of his classmates were just bystanders afraid of being bullied themselves. the teaches didn’t think that it was serious, but Joey’s bullying went beyond the school doors. Little they knew that there was someone else at that park watching everything.

It Escalated Quickly

The bullies decided to take the ball aways from Joey and had no intention whatsoever of giving it back to him. The situation escalated pretty quickly and there was no one there to come to the rescue. Whoever was looking thought it was just kids playing around and didn’t think anything serious was happening. But the thing is that this was real and it was bad,

It’s Not Getting Any Good

One of the bullies screamed at Joey “Hey kid, a nice ball you got there. Can I see it?” and before Joey knew, the ball was taken away from him. Joey tried hard to fight back and told them “its mine!” but the bully wouldn’t stop and said  “Come on, just give it to me, man. It’s just a ball.”  They still ignored the fact that they were being watched.

It’s Time To Step Up

The person that was looking at everything was still hiding waiting for the right moment to step in. The oldest of the bullies kicked the ball to the other side far away from Joey and the man decided it was time to end this. Joey’s father came into action.
