A mum has been left completely outraged after a slew of train passengers refused to offer help to her sick daughter after she had fainted near them.
The woman revealed that her teenage daughter was on her way to university when she started to feel dizzy during the train ride. She almost hit her head on the floor if it wasn't for a kind lady who had grabbed her by the arms.
The mum raged over the fact there hadn't been enough people to help support her daughter through the ordeal. She was even more furious that none of the men on the carriage offered their assistance.
Taking to Mumsnet, the anonymous mother fumed: "My 16 year old daughter was on the train going to college, busy service so standing. She fainted (as in full on dramatic woke up on the floor fainted), we don't really know why.
"A nice lady nearby stopped her hitting the floor and helped her. However, she says all the men on the train stayed in their seats and so she sat on the floor the rest of the way into the city.

"Not one man offered her a seat although one of them did comment that he hoped her journey home was quieter so she could sit down! She said there weren’t any women sitting down anyway and they all just… sat there. In the general sense of human decency, what the actual hell?"
The rant has left people angry. One person penned: "Disgusting behaviour. I hope your dd is okay x" A second person added: "Disgraceful behaviour. The general public is of a very low quality now."
Some users suggested some men deliberately ignore pregnant women during their journeys. A soon-to-be mum said: "I'm heavily pregnant and notice that 9 times out of 10 it's a woman (or 3) that gets up to offer me her seat on the tube rather than a man. (Yes it's obvious, yes I'm wearing a badge, yes I know about hidden disabilities, no I don't always need/accept the seat).
Another chimed in: "You don't commute, do you? you'd be amazed at what men can ignore if it means holding on to their seats. Pregnancy in particular has a noticeable effect on their eyesight."
