“I'm sorry moms and families but as a fellow mom I'm not a villain for not giving up my seat.”

In a subsequent video, Friedman explained why she refused to move from her seat revealing that a family of four asked her to swap her seat for one of theirs so that they could all be seated together in a row.

She also added the mother of the family in question gave her the side-eye and made her feel very uncomfortable. Friedman reiterated that the family should have planned the booking of their tickets better and that people who buy basic economy tickets, should have zero expectations of sitting together.

A lot of netizens were in agreement with Friedman’s views and shared their responses to the video:

In another story, Briefly News reported that a video of a bride refusing to say 'for richer for poorer' during an exchange of vows has gone viral. The TikTok clip shared by @morganscottfilms shows when it was the bride's turn to repeat her vows after the officiating minister.

When the minister got to the 'for richer for poorer line', the bride refused to repeat it the same way. Instead of 'for richer for poorer', she said 'for richer for richer', meaning that she refused to be poor ever.

The action by the bride attracted a burst of roaring laughter from the congregation who were immediately taken aback.
