| 0:00.0 | I do not care if you have cancer, my child deserves your seat. A little backstory, about a |
| 0:06.4 | year ago I was diagnosed with cancer of the nasal cavity, Stage 2. The tumor was quite large, |
| 0:12.6 | thankfully benign. And benign might not be the right word since I'm translating this to English, |
| 0:17.0 | but more specifically it was contained, meaning it didn't spread into other tissue. |
| 0:22.1 | I apologize for gaps in my knowledge. To get it removed, I first had to undergo aggressive |
| 0:27.6 | chemotherapy to make it smaller. Thanks to chemo, I had severe alopecia, which is hair loss, |
| 0:33.2 | which made me, and most of my hair, even my eyebrows and eyelashes fall out. At some point I had to go |
| 0:39.2 | bald, but I wore a wig because I didn't want to look like a skinhead or neo nazi. I thought |
| 0:44.7 | people would assume this. So once after a long chemo session in the hospital, I took the bus home. |
| 0:50.0 | There's only one bus that goes from the hospital to where I live, so I took that one only to see it |
| 0:54.9 | was absolutely packed. I felt terrible thanks to the chemo. So I asked the middle aged dude to |

| 1:06.9 | the entitled mother, a lovely whale within, I demand Parley with the CEO haircut and a 12 year old |
| 1:14.2 | kid enter. It took her roughly 5 seconds to see that the bus was packed. Start looking for a free |
| 1:19.6 | seat, spot me and start marching or in her case trying to fit in the aisle between the seats |
| 1:24.8 | while shoving others aside to me. When I saw her, I knew it was going to be bad. She then stood next |
| 1:29.9 | to me and decided to talk to me. This was the conversation that followed, entitled mother. |
| 1:34.3 | Hey, could you let my kids sit down? Me. You mean me? Entitled mother. Who else? Me. Oh, I'm sorry, |
| 1:40.8 | but I'm on the way back from the hospital and entitled mother. So are we. Which is nonsense because |
| 1:47.1 | the stop was a few kilometers away from the hospital. My boy just broke his leg and we're coming |
| 1:52.8 | straight from the ER. Her kid was standing next to her without any support, clearly embarrassed. |
| 1:58.1 | Me. He's standing next to you completely fine. Look here, boy. Also, I'm 21 years old. |
