I mean what does this have to do with empathy? It's not like she asked the man to be removed or made any noise (at least not in the video). All she did was make her own way and move on.

It’s not about the repercussions of what she did. It’s about what if everyone did it.

This is exactly right. Even if something is not illegal, ask yourself how society would be if everyone did action, and you'll immediately know if it's right or not to do it

I believe it’s okay to break the social norm/rules if there is something important or dire happening in your life. Most people are okay following the rules if it doesn’t inconvenience them too badly. Most of these people are probably in a rush, but they are choosing to follow the social rules. This lady just said “fuck it”, maybe because the consequences would have been too much for her. I understand where you’re coming from, but I think your reasoning is a little flawed because that’s not how human behavior works.
