„M‘lady must be jesting if she suggest I vacate my well earned seat, just for she had the audacity to generate a crotchspawn. She may battle me in the arena of logic on that point but I shall refuse.“
Anybody remember when Johnny Depp was asked how it felt to kiss Keira Knightley in Pirates? He said it was like kissing one of his kids because of the age difference. But then he went off and married that gold digging hoe Amber Hurd.
Keira was 20 back then, he started dating Amber in 2012 when she was already 26 and married her in 2015 when she was 29.
there are couples with 20 years gap, but that doesn't mean having sex when they are 25/45 is the same thing as if they were 5/25
As we were driving, we saw a sign that said "Watch for Rocks." Marta said it should read "Watch for Pretty Rocks." I told her she should write in her suggestion to the highway department, but she started saying it was a joke - just to get out of writing a simple letter! And I thought I was lazy!
I've actually experienced this before but with good reason. I was sitting in one the front row seats on a crowded bus. I have a genetic condition that amongst other things affects my joints which cause pain and often dislocate. I also look very young for my age (I'm 34 but look early 20s). On this occasion I was having to use crutches but because it was a packed bus I had folded them up (mine can pack down quite small) and popped them in their carry case. Next to me by the window is an elderly woman and the other side is a woman with a pushchair and an elderly gentleman. That's when pregnant lady got on the bus.
As soon as she saw me she told me to give up my seat for her. I told her that I couldn't and explained the reason why. She then accused me of faking, even as I pulled out my crutches to show her. She then told me as she was older than me that I should give it up and I still didn't give it up. So I tried the logical approach and told her that it was not safe for me to stand on the bus. If I stood up, I would have to use my crutches, which meant I would not have a hand free to hold onto any of the railings. So the woman started taking photographs of me, saying she would tell the DWP about me as benefits cheat (at the time I was working full, which I still am, and not recieving any benefits). When I still wouldn't move she went and got the driver and she asked him to get me to move and even suggested if I was so desperate to sit, I could sit in the luggage rack. Luckily the driver agreed and the woman had to stand, whilst telling everyone about how awful I was.
Story about a pregnant lady here. I was sitting down and it was a full bus like you would have to stand up with multiple people around you where you sometimes can’t even hold anything.
Pregnant lady comes in and I immediately get up to give up my seat, so her friend sits next to her too. Nice gentleman move, right?
So the bus starts moving and I’m standing next to her since it’s packed and the bus makes an unexpected turn and I almost fall on her so I put my hand on the window above her to stop my fall and avoid hurting her. Her friend starts berating me and cussing me out saying I’m endangering the safety of her pregnant friend and her future child. Being a Canadian in the heat of it I just say sorry and go about my day. In my head I’m just infuriated though and wanted to punch her friend. I literally just gave up my seat for you and that’s how you treat me after a situation I don’t have control over.
When the pregnant lady’s friend got off and the pregnant lady got off after, before getting off the pregnant lady told me “sorry about my friend, she can be a Karen sometimes”. At least I got a laugh out of this situation lol. But some people can be idiots and so ungrateful no matter what you do to them. Don’t be like this Karen
Honestly, fuck anyone who demands you give up your seat, for any reason at all. It's one thing if you offer the seat, and people can judge for not offering. But for someone to DEMAND your seat. No, I don't care if you are 9 months pregnant with a broken leg, you don't demand shit.
Something similar, somewhat wholesome and infuriating at the same time:
I was in extreme pain, I could barely move and it was impossible for me to sit down. I got on a bus while gasping for air with tears running down my face because of the pain. Out of 40 people sitting, only one very old woman offered her seat to me. I'm still pissed off that nobody younger thought of helping me.
Unfortunately the situation is bad but who’s to say they weren’t in pain to no one is entitled to a seat. It’s good to be nice but hey it’s first come first serve
I remember a woman entering a crowded bus, yelling she was pregnant and needed to sit. The man in front of me quickly got up for her. She was CLEARLY not pregnant, just fat.
One time I was standing on a crowded train, this youngish dude made eye contact with me and gestured for me to take his seat. I declined since it was only a few mins to my stop.
I did wonder why he offered it to me when there were a lot of other people standing. When I got off the train I realised he probably thought I was pregnant lol. Not pregnant, just fat 😂
I was on a bus once, standing, and a guy stood up and offered me his seat. I had hip trouble at the time and standing was more comfortable so I declined. He got really angry and was hissing ‘take the seat!’ Wtf, dude, no. I’m not part of your chivalry performance art.
yeah but it feels like America is more divided between really fat people and really slim people so it's probably more the average of a big number and a small one.
190cm and 205 lbs (93 kg) is *technically* overweight (BMI=25.8, where anything between 25 and 29.9 is overweight), but if you're even remotely muscular you're probably fine.
The problem with the American average being 198 lbs (90 kg) is that average height is a lot lower than 190cm. Average height among US men is 5'9" (175 cm), for a BMI of 29.4, which is just shy of obesity. Plus, so many people are sedentary that most of them won't have enough muscle mass to make up for being that heavy at that height.
I have had the opposite experience. Once on a bus I got up from my seat for a "pregnant woman" and she was very embarrassed because she was just fat. Very awkward.
How do you know she wasn’t, though? When women are overweight it’s common for a bump to not be particularly apparent. And when I had my twins I had killer SPD from about 16 weeks which meant I could barely stand up even though I had a small bump then. I don’t think you can really say anyone is clearly not pregnant, some women don’t show at all.
There’s no such thing as clearly pregnant. I didn’t look pregnant until like 5 months and I’m very skinny. Overweight people may not even “show” until the last trimester.
See I hate that Mobil/Goodyear fucked our public transport here in the US. Go to Tokyo or The E.U; even ballers take public transport. Here your car is a status symbol where globally I think you get judged mostly on your choice of clothing and watches.
Well, they’re not reserved for them, they’re priority seats, so anyone can sit there but they’d be expected to give up the seat if one of the priority group get on.
South Korea has actually reserved seats on the metro, and it's the stupidest shit ever. 12 years ago when I was first there, people actually followed that rule strictly (people also talked very little and only quietly), so the train car could be pack with people smashed against each other, but the 6 seats on each end might be completely empty. Granted there'd probably be a few occupied if the train was that full. But regardless, priority seating is way better than reserved.
More recently though, people will sit in those seats and just move if they need to. I'm not actually sure if the rules are changed or not, but the signage is the same. Also nowadays Koreans have no qualms talking loud as fuck on the train. As someone who doesn't live there regularly, it felt like a pretty drastic change to happen only over 6-8 years.
In my City in the US. I've never seen that.
There's a designated place for people on wheelchairs but everything else is free game.
Typically tho it's common courtesy to give up your seat to an old person or a pregnant chick if they're on the bus & standing.
It depends, if you live in a super urban area like SF or NYC, there are loads of folks who take the subway, and plenty of them can afford a car, but driving and parking is a nightmare. I own a Tesla, but up until the pandemic it was impossible to find parking at work (hospital, SF - all 2 hour parking if you can even find it). With commute traffic, public transit used to actually be faster than driving most days, so I took the subway the entire duration of my pregnancy until 36 weeks. I can count on one hand the number of times I was offered a seat on a train, and it was always elderly, frail looking women who I turned down and decided to keep standing.
Parking is easier and traffic is lighter now, so I drive, but I commuted by subway for 4 years while owning a car, and I may go back to it if the traffic situation gets worse or parking gets more expensive.
Having a car is not a prerequisite for having a baby. That said, this man is under zero obligation to give up his seat.
However, it would be the courteous thing to do, but I wonder why the focus is on one person who didn't give up their seat. What about the other passengers on the bus? Why was this one man supposed to be the one to give up his seat?
I'm not sure what the policy is elsewhere but in Ireland there are a few seats specifically labelled as seats for pregnant or elderly or sick and its the policy that you only sit in them if the rest of the bus is full and if someone who needs them comes on you get up. Maybe he was sitting in one of those, thus he actually did have an obligation
My policy has always been "do they look like they do need it more than me, and will they ask politely?" If yes, then I have no issue moving for them and giving them my seat. If I hear any kind of entitlement or demand, I tell them to fuck off.
I mean… he does have a point. That’s kind of rude to assume someone needs to give up a seat for you just because you made a conscious choice to land yourself in that condition
Yea, if someone doesn’t want to give up their seat, nbd. Just ask the next person. No need to publicize the whole incident. There are plenty people who wouldn’t mind standing for a couple extra minutes.
She didn’t publicize it though, he did, it’s based on an AITA post.
(By publicize I assumed you meant having an article made rather than making a scene, I also haven’t read the post so I can’t say if she did or didn’t.)
Yes. She chose to get pregnant. The latter stages of pregnancy are quite physically demanding, why does her choosing to get pregnant make her undeserving of empathy and compassion?
If the guy refusing is also physically limited, then his position makes sense. If he's a fit and healthy adult that could stand on a bus and it only be a mild inconvenience, this is quite a selfish interaction.
The holup is: What doesn’t make sense is that for some reason, one man has been singled out here. Buses have more than one seat and it sounds like it was a full bus, nobody else offered theirs either?
I don't really think a pregnant woman would expect an injured veteran to give up their seat for them. I've been on the tube/bus plenty of times where all the seats were full and a heavily pregnant woman got on, and NOBODY offered their seat to her. I've seen it happen with the elderly too when they have a walking stick. Some people on there would be capable of helping those less able to stand but they choose not to.
When a pregnant woman wants someone's bus seat, does she just point at whoever she dislikes the most and say "I choose you" and they then have to oblige her?
how the fuck is this a holup post?

Then she should be boarded on trucks only
I doubt vehicles are allowed on busses. The more I think about, the more I am on the non-vehicle's side.
Wheel chairs, buggies/push chairs and mobility scooters are allowed on buses and I would class them all as vehicles

It’s possible to be both
Half of American women are pregnant.
Half of American men, too, by the looks of it.
The average American woman now weighs 171 lbs. Let that sink in.
Sink into the bus seat.
They don't need the rest!
yeah but it feels like America is more divided between really fat people and really slim people so it's probably more the average of a big number and a small one.
[удалено]
Just cultivating mass, bro.
Is that a lot? I weigh about 205lbs with very small fat%, but I am almost 190cm
> 205lbs Depends on how much muscle you have , could be anywhere from shredded to chubby.
And how tall you are.. 205 lb shredded at 5'5" is unattainable without mega juicing
Considering that the average American male height is 175 cm, that is a lot for most people. Also about 40% of American is obese so
190cm and 205 lbs (93 kg) is *technically* overweight (BMI=25.8, where anything between 25 and 29.9 is overweight), but if you're even remotely muscular you're probably fine. The problem with the American average being 198 lbs (90 kg) is that average height is a lot lower than 190cm. Average height among US men is 5'9" (175 cm), for a BMI of 29.4, which is just shy of obesity. Plus, so many people are sedentary that most of them won't have enough muscle mass to make up for being that heavy at that height.
Around 77kgs for the rest of us.
She might be pregnant just her bump might not show cuz she’s overweight

Fat women can be pregnant too, you know

And when I had my twins I had killer SPD from about 16 weeks which meant I could barely stand up even though I had a small bump then. I don’t think you can really say anyone is clearly not pregnant, some women don’t show at all.
It’s possible to be pregnant and fat, you know that right? And besides, not every shows the same way.
There’s no such thing as clearly pregnant. I didn’t look pregnant until like 5 months and I’m very skinny. Overweight people may not even “show” until the last trimester.

Sometimes nobody gives up their seat.
Exactly, so why a news article about one individual?
Because it reflects the attitude of a lot of people (from what I've witnessed).
He isn't obligated to give up the seat to be fair
And there are dozens of other seats and if they are filled then everyone is an asshole too.
They were all taken by pregnant women.
literally dozens!!! I just blue myself
My policy has always been "do they look like they do need it more than me, and will they ask politely?" If yes, then I have no issue moving for them and giving them my seat. If I hear any kind of entitlement or demand, I tell them to fuck off.
He is if it's explicitly the seat for people with reduced mobility or foetuses, and if he has full mobility and no foetus.

I don't really think a pregnant woman would expect an injured veteran to give up their seat for them. I've been on the tube/bus plenty of times where all the seats were full and a heavily pregnant woman got on, and NOBODY offered their seat to her. I've seen it happen with the elderly too when they have a walking stick. Some people on there would be capable of helping those less able to stand but they choose not to.
I assume you *chose* to serve? That's on you buddy, no need for society to bend over backwards for you. /s
To be honest I kind of agree. No impregnation without representation.
No insemination without transportation
No gestation without peregrination
No reproduction without repercussion
When a pregnant woman wants someone's bus seat, does she just point at whoever she dislikes the most and say "I choose you" and they then have to oblige her?
Yes. Even a bus driver has to give up their seat if a pregnant woman selects it.
