Public transport - NO seat offerings anymore?

[Yael]

People should offer a seat, that would be polite, but then again, i know my husband stands on the train every day no matter what, and says that when he offers seats to women/pg/disabled/older or elderly people, some of them get offended?

I had no problems in asking for a seat, and was never refused one. I think we just have to realise in this day and age, people are rude and won't offer, so you're not going to get one without speaking up and asking.. sucks i know, but i would rather sit down than fall over or have my stomach squashed!

This preg i haven't ever taken public transport, so haven't had to worry.

On the way to uni I always offer my seat... though I do know where your DH is coming from Yael. I have offered my seat to eldery gentlemen before and gotten the response "what kind of a man would i be to take a seat from a young lady!" many times! What sweethearts!!! But I always offer anyway!

I have seen my share of rudeness, and think its disgusting that there are eldery people, pregnant woman, and sometimes even the disabled standing when other young, able-bodied uni students are seated, or worse, sitting across two seats!!!
