PZ, I am always prepared to lose my seat if I sit in those seats..
Yeah, I think everyone should be! Unfortunately I see soooo many people with entitlement issues...the whole, 'I was here first!' kind of thing. I've actually had women in their 50's RUN and PUSH to get on the bus before me once they've spotted my bump...I literally laughed out loud, I thought it was hilarious! When I got on the bus, it was packed, and the priority seats were filled with the very old, and some prams. The lady in her 50's sat down in the last priority seat, and I aksed her straight away (but very nicely) if I could please sit down. She said, and I quote, "You chose to get pregnant, (or at your age maybe you didn't!) ), I'm older than you, show some respect, I have earned this seat!" I smiled and said, "You certainly have. I for one could only *wish* to be able to have run as fast as you did to get that seat, gee, you seem more physically capable than me!" She glared at me and a lovely old guy gave me his seat. The lady got off two stops later, and the old guy sat back down and we had a good laugh!
