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 make the finance guy spot on. I would expect most folk to give up their seat for me too. No respect from youngsters these days.

If he was THAT important, his company would have provided him with a car & driver - or at the very least, an open-ended black cab account, so he didn't have to degrade himself by mixing with riff-raff on public transport.
Used to see quite a lot of this sort of thing done by ex-pats on locals, mostly outside Europe. Not noticed it so much lately; maybe it's become normal expected behaviour.

Never happened.
'Young Chinese girl fell for it, though'. Ticked all his stereotype boxes in this nonsense.

Calvin Klein suit ? Yeah , sounds like a real TOFF.
And not some pretend 'rich bloke' that some failed RENT BOY from Luton made up while sloping home with his arse still intact after a fruitless day.
If this happened why didn't he intervene when 'Chinese girl' was bullied?

How could anybody tell a bloke was wearing a Calvin Klein suit without seeing the label inside?

Builder should think about travelling first class rather than having to mix with suity cunts like Mr Calvin Klein.

What a load of old bollocks, as if true, then surely the building would just clump the bloke.
