Tube passenger demands seat as he has better job

FMOB, could this happen or attention seeking twat? i favour the latter.
http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/tube-passenger-ordered-me-to-move-seats-because-his-job-was-better-than-mine-a3140196.html
A builder claims he was ordered to vacate his seat on the Tube by a commuter because he had a better job than him.
Jamie Loveday, 19, said he was approached by a man on a Victoria line train on Wednesday at around 7.20pm after he stepped onto the carriage at Green Park station.
The teenager was sitting on the Tube as he made his way home to Luton having finished a day’s work at the Adelphi Building in Westminster.
He told the Standard a well-spoken smartly dressed man, aged between 40 and 50, told him to vacate his seat because he was the finance manager of an upmarket hotel.
The man offered no other explanation as to why he deserved to sit down, claimed Mr Loveday.
When the bizarre request was dismissed he asked a young Chinese woman to give up her seat using the same ploy and she did, Mr Loveday claimed.
He said: “I couldn't believe what I was hearing and said "excuse me" before saying no I wasn't going to give up my seat. Everyone's faces around me dropped.
“He muttered "this is outrageous" and stormed off down the carriage before asking the same question to a Chinese girl who moved for him.
“He probably thought because he earns more money than me he could intimidate me. I was in my dusty clothes and he was in a Calvin Klein suit.”
The 19-year-old, who regularly commutes to London from his home in Luton, said it wasn’t the first time he had been a victim of snobbery in the capital.
Last week, he said he was helped by an elderly gentleman after dropping his tools on the Tube while men in smartly dressed suits “walked over him”.
However, the latest Tube incident prompted him to take to Twitter to vent his disgust.
Mr Loveday added: “It annoyed me that he thought was so arrogant to think he was better than me but I find it happens in London.”

I've travelled on the tube for nigh-on 40 years and you can be sure this is an absolutely 100% bullshit story.
This is a chippy, paranoid kid who's bollocks story has been run a bit too far for his liking as it has been picked up by social media.
Ten years ago he would have told that story to two mates in a pub and been told to shut up and stop making shit up. The kind of kid who was known as Billy Bullshit at school.

So he obviously showed him his suits labels as well just to prove how much he earns

More likely is a Korean would be offended at being called Japanese. Japan's wars/imperialism messed up Korea properly.
Certainly did Geoff, sent the country to the dogs

Is this what "journalism" has come to?
Regurgitating lies people have made up on fucking Twitter?

I like the way the guy and the paper just assume the bird was Chinese! How the fuck can you tell?
Do Japanese or Koreans get offended always being called Chinese?

We really need video footage to authenticate these incidents.
PS the only builders I know from Luton wear turbans.

Russians are worse than us in terms of drunken behaviour. Yanks are up there too these days.
Even our bad reputation abroad is going down the tubes.

The mainland Chinese live in their own little world and apparently aren't aware of what's considered good or bad manners by the rest of the world.
That said, I did like them when I was over there. They seemed a happy, unselfconscious lot.

Us English have the best and worst tourists.
The chinese cannot compare to our worst tourists on the lash in spanish fishing villages over the years.
