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

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.
