mrt has offer

That day I was on my way home and I saw an old lady offering her seat to an older lady. I thought it should be the girl sitting beside the old lady who should have offered her seat.

Sometimes I do find it difficult to decide. You can't tell if the lady is pregnant or obese, you can't tell if the man is old or just having more white hair than the rest. Maybe you should do the cruel thing, stand up and watch the rest fight it out for the seat.

Actually there is that bit of selfish thought in me when I offer my seat. My parents are aging and I really hope others will offer their seats to them on public transport when they get older.

Sigh. How to decide who needs the seat more than you do?

  • is it very insulting if we just offer the seat to a lady who has maybe eaten a bit more?

  • ya chillycrap..i think the lady will feel "insulted" if we mistook her for being pregnant.

  • HaHa... I used to have the same dilemma too... Once offered a seat to someone who's.. Ahem.. simply obese cos i mistook her being pregnant... & she was kinda pissed after tt... =X

    Well nowdays, i solve this stupid dilemma by jus simply standing inside the MRT without thinking of getting a seat... Jus treat it as if everyone else need a seat more than you do lor... Though standing to read books/notes can be quite troublesome at times... But stand sleeping shouldn't b a prob for me... Well trained by army... LOL

  • fab: did someone turn the aircon to below 25 degree C?

    iceman: ahem, thank you for your comments.

    taz: lol!

    carrot: HAHAHA! did she take up the seat then? Sometimes I also lazy to take the seat unless I really really need it for sleep. It just looks weird to have the whole aisle of girls standing and looking at you take the empty seat...

    By Blogger chillycraps, at 1/29/2008 06:12:00 AM  

  • Nope... Someone else took the seat instead.. & left me standing together with the pissed lady... LOL

  • somehow, if the old people want to look young, then should they be denied the seat and stand with the young people?

    i dunno, is it like cruel?

    By Blogger chillycraps, at 1/29/2008 01:15:00 PM  

  • Hmmm... i see someone's replying the comments somewhere in sch... =)

    Anyway, I'd usually offer my seat to the elderly lah. Not that I'm noble or what. But I feel bad to let them stand while I'm sitting..

    And others are pretending to be asleep.

  • Those who are pregnant tends to 'sayang' their tummy or put their hand on it to like protect it. You wont see those who are just having excess fats doing it. ;)
