October 17th News， according to media reports， a netizen posted a video claiming that two foreign travelers at Hongqiao Airport’s waiting lounge were lying down with their shoes off， occupying six seats， and that airport staff did nothing despite passengers attempting to intervene.
In response， Hongqiao Airport staff stated that this was the personal behavior of the passengers. Airport staff would intervene if they witnessed such actions. The airport plans to increase patrol frequency in the future， emphasizing that everyone is treated equally and without distinction.
With the continuous progress of society and the enhancement of civilization， uncivilized behaviors such as occupying seats are increasingly condemned and resisted by the public.
The harm caused by “seat hogging” behavior during travel should not be underestimated. Such actions infringe upon the legitimate rights of lawful passengers， disrupt the normal operation of public order， and can damage an individual’s credibility， ultimately harming both oneself and others.
In public spaces， one should not prioritize personal desires over rules or disregard the rights of others. One should not violate the law or trample upon its dignity simply for personal convenience.
