The silent pleas of the elderly woman fell on deaf ears, as the other commuters chose not to intervene. One man, Mr. Diaz, a retired high school teacher, however, felt the need to stand up for what was right.

The request fell on deaf ears, with the young man casually shrugging and ignoring the plea. This dismissal didn’t dissuade Mr. Diaz, who was determined to rectify the situation.
