refused to give up my seat for woman with baby on the bus today

i told her it doesnt matter, her baby has their own seat in the pram
she is not entitled to my seat because shes too lazy to stand

anyone else do this all the time?

"Her baby has their own seat in the pram" made me laugh more than it should have.
No, because I'm not a shallow prick.

Sit at the back and push the baby down the middle for the lols and then get off.
And then you made a thread on a forum about it. You just reached the peak of coolness. Congratulations!

I'd give the seat up. It wouldn't do me harm standing up anyways. I guess it depends on how the mother asks though.
:yawn:
To be honest I do this all the time. Even ones that are pregnant. I sit down in solidarity with you OP.

i really feel we are on to something here
I tried to read this but my eyes welled up and I gave up halfway through because I could no longer make out the text… probably because I was yawning.
You are entitled to refuse.

No particular reason why new mothers deserve special treatment.

Obviously giving your seat up for a pregnant woman or elderly person would be the polite thing to do.

:wink:
Seriously, common courtesy is rare these days :s-smilie:

Sarcasm by any chance? How can you not give a seat up to a person that is pregnant, especially if you're perfectly capable of standing?

I'm not understanding your logic.

How can I not? Quite easily I tell you that. All of the pregnant women I've seen on the train have been perfectly capable of standing. I would only give up my seat for somebody who is very visibly old.

What especially annoys me about pregnant women on the tube is that they wear the 'baby on board' badges which are quite passive aggressive. And they must be resisted.

i agree with you here on being a new mother with a baby. so what? you can stand properly can't you? what special rights are you entitled to that i'm not?

i would do this however since i believe they might have problems standing and moving about so sitting down will only benefit them by giving them a more enjoyable and comfortable ride compared to if they had to stand up all the time
