I wouldn't give up my seat for a pregnant woman. You made that bed, now you lay in it, slutgina.

a lot of this depends on where I'm at physically/mentally.
I'll always give up the seat to someone disabled/elderly and wobbly/pregnant
most of the time for little kids
sometimes to elderly not wobbly/ women of any age

interesting!
(her commute blows obv tho)
i always give my seat up for pregnant women, but some of them are all 'that's ok!'
i had this cute, short, empire-waisted wool coat i used to wear but it needed a belt bc it was too big on me and the few times i forgot to do up the belt, people always offered me their seat on the bus! i declined, because lol fake pregnancy. i still have the coat bc now i know what it's good for anyway.
i think if i were actually pregnant and had to take transit i wld be all faking contractions on full trains and getting a seat via emotional warfare

also, irl lols:
I don't like it when parents want you to let their kids sit down. I am all like "BITCH, WHERE HAS THIS KID BEEN WORKING ALL DAY? HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO STAND FOR 30 DAYS."

I'm thinking she actually meant 30 minutes, but it's funnier this way.

I think I would probably stick to route 2 / the .8 mile walk commute

but I'm not pregnant

i would happily give up my seat (the rare times that i get one) but fear that i'm probably reading my book and not noticing slutginas

Recently, about once a week during my morning commute, some parent will get on a super packed train and start to loudly shame all the riders about how they are not making room for their kid and how no one in NYC cares about kids and how they need to move to somewhere where people care etc etc. Soooo awkward, no one has the energy that early in the morning to punch the parent.

yeah, and you just know if one person could make the effort they'd all break ranks and land a kick or a thump somewhere but it's hard to take the first step

lol

i give up my seat for older or pregnant people automatically but often times if I'm sitting it means I'm exhausted from a long day's activity, otherwise I would stand.... so it has to be a good reason for me to get up. doesn't mean I won't do it, but I don't like when people feel like they're entitled to my seat just because they want it.
