Keira, maybe it's a Sydney thing? I was always offered a seat when on public transport while pg - I took it too! Although it wasn't always males offering, sometimes it was females. I agree with you that it's a shame it's not done more often, when pg you really need that seat and I don't see why it's so hard for someone else (especially a guy LOL!!) to just stand for a bit. Also, to me it's a manners thing - it's just not polite to sit and leave a pg lady standing. Unfortunately I think too many kids have been raised with the "me" mentatlity - why should I stand up? Well why SHOULDN'T you stand up would be my response. Maybe it's because they hear it from their parents too often - why should I drive you to school or something like that?? Not sure, but I wish more people would teach their kids manners. LOL, I think I went OT!
