Pregnant Woman's Response to Man Not Giving Up Seat on Bus
A Pregnant Woman Deserves Standing Ovation For What She Did When No One Offered Up a Seat on the Bus
When you are pregnant and navigating public transportation, there's nothing more annoying than a fellow commuter who actively avoids doing the right thing and offering his or her (but, in all honesty, usually his) seat. Sure, there's those early months when it's hard to tell if someone is pregnant, but by the third trimester?!

She took to Twitter to reveal what she did next.
