Used to take seats offered to me when I was 'pregnant' (fat), karma caught up, now thinner but actually pregnant and no one offers!
iReallyDontGetIt
I gave a men a present onse and he ate it!
Uriah30
Throughout two pregnancies? Hopefully she finds a seat normally most days.
JRedBear
Well if there are trophies involved that changes everything. This could be the next Olympic sport.
DoctorSvenHoek
ill bet shes fat and was not obviously pregnant
NoMasDolor
And the guy was her husband! Plot twist!
WhereDidTheLastHourGo
If you don't sit down, you never have to give up your seat.
keystotheairlock
Why is there a V on his chest?
morebeastlessbeauty
She was holding onto that trophy for sometime.
somethingsomethingmcbob
Nice. Commuters suck. I asked for seats during my pregnancy, because No One offered. Well, almost no one.
ImARottenTomatoLookingForLove
Achievement unlocked!
Spiderandbee
Man, I lived in NYC for seven years and the number of people who won't give up their seat for people who need it is really staggering.
flushy
In NYC, I've seen more women refuse to give up their seats (or pretend they didn't notice) than men.
cyan0t1c
2 pregnancies? That's one hell of a commute!
AlaSnackbar
It's a sad state of affairs when normal decent things people should be doing to each other now becomes a special news item
Aimlockbelch
I've seen the depths of human depravity on the NY subway. Nice to see it's not all bad. Excelsior!
ShoulderTheWheel
Everyday in nyc I see people giving up seats for various reasons
MostPeopleAreIdiots
She should have fucked a guy with a car.
Takavos
Damn, I am very concerned that she had two pregnancies and only was offered a seat once. Men you better pick up your fucking game.
AsianJimfromTheOffice
It's bc he felt bad for all the pregnant women he left
andyonetime
Wow

From Vancouver Canada. People are usually dicks here and fake to sleep when elderly people or the pregnant get on the bus. We have seats/
whiskeyandcigarettes
For the physically disabled, elderly and the pregnant. People just sometimes suck.
C4NDY455
I expected more from Canadia
RoseTyler10th
I was in Toronto for school when pregnant and I remember a pregnant woman getting on the subway and I thought "I should give her my seat"...
RoseTyler10th
Then I remembered I too was pregnant... someone else gave their seat before I had to make a decision haha
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
I always read a book on the bus. If I pay attention to the people around me, my social anxiety gets worse. Worst case scenario is a panic...
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
attack & me having to get off at the next stop. Call me a dick if you must, but don't expect me to notice pregnant women, much less ...
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
socially interact with total strangers by offering them my seat. Unlike a pregnant person, I didn't choose my condition.
WaffleNipples
In Canada we designated seats on the buses and subways for the elderly, pregnant, or injured. Drivers also enforce this if they see misuse.
Sheldonian
I think that's almost everywhere
Flyndaran
That still requires a bit invasiveness to know who's injured, elderly, or pregnant. Imagine them kicking someone out for you but you're not.
DeliberateMisinterpretation
Me- "Here, take my seat. You must be pregnant." Her-" Fuck you scrawny ass cracker!" Only one of us was correct.
Racealistic
Your first mistake was using "you must be pregnant" in a sentence while offering your seat to a woman. Dont assume just do next time :p
thepsudo
So... how scrawny are ya?
DeliberateMisinterpretation
Very. And white AF.
whalewhalewhale
Did she just have that with her?
pizzapartyhard
So that means you carry around an ear in your pocket like every day?
monkalie
Igetthisreferencelike3monthstoolate.gif
Vaenaemoenen
Well, women carry around bags so they can have EVERYTHING in there, like everything. Straightening irons, hair dryer, maxipads and so on...
dave702
Yes, she brings one trophy with her on her subway commute. The first guy who gives you his seat for her receives the trophy.
Studmuffin242
Are you that guy with the trophy?
empyrrhical
What if it was a woman?
BecozImBatman
Then.... Lesbian night out.. I guess
dave702
Gives up his seat
57697a6f
That sounds like it $100% happened.
BecozImBatman
Booty call,... Each night
ThroughTheLookingGlass
And there you have it.
Danheartsmemes
Is it really uncommon for people to do things like this?
LeadByBadExample
I always give up my seat if there are none, but there usually is, so for me it's a non-issue.
Blamblam101
apparently
Totsmacgee
I'm Canadian and nobody ever gave me their seat but I don't care. I wasn't disabled or elderly and was perfectly capable of standing.
KhakiChan
Im on Bart right now and I'm not getting up for shit
iShoot556
Used to be. By these days everyone gets a damn trophy for everything. I just got another for pooping in the toilet. I'm running out of room
humptyblargh
The bigger the city, the more likely the shitty behavior, in my experience.
moderatbothsides
Not here in Portland. IDK about elsewhere.
danzafan37
In NYC, yeah, not common.
CurryLover69
From NYC. More common than subway rats, don't know why people say it's rare here.
RoxanneLaWin
Full time crutch user here: yes it's uncommon. Sat on the floor of bus yesterday while a woman took up 9 seats with her kids/buggies/bags
blainetog
Not in Boston, especially if you ask.
18yearoldBlackDynamite
depends
combatwombat0
SoCal: youre required to give up certain seats for disabled/elderly/pregnant
BecozImBatman
C was after black d i c.....
LeCacaMajiqueDeLaCarp
Currently 7 months preggers in NYC, only a total of 3 people have ever offered a seat. A guy pushed me once to get to a seat.
RotundYoshi
In Australia there are seats that by law are to be used by people with 'special needs' I.e. pregnancy or elderly, etc.
hadoeken
"I'm not pregnant. I'm just fat, you dick-cheese."
B0ULLIE
This looks like NY. It's not uncommon but ya know... Sometimes..
ChrisTallant
To be nice? It depends on where..
Lutafist
Depends where
willzyx1980
No. If it was, would anyone carry around a trophy with that written on it?
Kolps
Have you ever seen anyone get a trophy for being decent in public?
BecozImBatman
It is a trap...
Danheartsmemes
I kinda meant just the act of being decent in public.
Kolps
I know. I was being somewhat sarcastic. I don't think decency is uncommon but it is waning.
Finain
In New York this is unheard of, this guy would have to move.
rbudrick
I would say that trophy is super uncommon.
BecozImBatman
News flash : chick was after black d i c
FrozenFor30Years
UK, no. On busses, at least up north where I'm from, I often see people give up seats. Usually young people for the elderly.
BecozImBatman
The north remembers
NoTouchie
In US, NorCal, where I live, it's always select young ppl who do. But a lot of them just don't even notice the elderly
BecozImBatman
Because... They r afraid...
BenHolloway
Down in the South West our busses have designated seating at the front for the elderly/pregnant
BecozImBatman
oJoeDM
And the back on the top is reserved for the homeless guy smoking weed and drinking white ace.
AaronBarreto
I want that seat!
FrozenFor30Years
Those are here too, but not on all busses, and people still give seats up tat aren't labelled as such.
gopms
I was about 8.5 months pregnant and riding the bus when a gaggle of little old ladies got on the bus. There weren't enough seats for 1/2
gopms
2/2 them and I didn't want a little old lady falling and breaking a hip so I offered one my seat since no one else did. I didn't expect ?/?
gopms
?/? men in particular to give up their seats but I was surprised a bus full of able bodied men, women, and children would sit while I stood.
ImWonderingIfIllEverGetMyOwnUsername
On the tube today I saw a guy physically push past a pregnant woman and basically steal her seat, everyone else ignored what happened 1/2
PaintedHole
And they say you Brits are polite
BecozImBatman
We r polite in general... I mean, while in queue... Or having breakfast...
ImWonderingIfIllEverGetMyOwnUsername
Londoners, no. Up North they are the most lovely people
ImWonderingIfIllEverGetMyOwnUsername
But an old lady had a massive rant at him & he gave up the seat while getting a disappointing look from an old, stern lady 2/2
TheShotThatGotYouNaked
MYEAH!
davidthemonkey
Old people are awesome, they just completely run out of fucks to give.
Brf526
When I was pregnant I had a couple times where both men and women let doors close in my face, and I wasjust a couple steps behind.
ImWonderingIfIllEverGetMyOwnUsername
Londoners man... they're the worst
Siegmier1
North east? Yes!
TheMayorOfTittyCity
From US, yes, very uncommon, I have never once been given a trophy from a stranger
compd
Even as the mayor?
Ozzah
In Sydney peak hour nobody wants to sit while others are standing. Drives me crazy because the mass of standing people are packed in tight.
K80k
People give up thier seats all the time in NYC.
Johnwolin
To give strangers trophies for seats? Yeah. Pretty uncommon.
BecozImBatman
Zeez... How u don't get the obvious, wht c really wanted from black dude
Manse84
Southern US, no. But being polite down here is a requirement. We're like Canadians, but racist
AdorableTinyKitties
That's... Accurate wow. +1
Vhiyur
Can confirm. Born and raised in Middle TN. We're nice most of the time and hospitality is great. Just don't ask anyone down here about race.
Jouvd
That is exactly how I explain the south to my british relatives!!!
lincolnlawyer
Thing about being racist in the South is: We've been living with minorities for hundreds of years. 1/2.
lincolnlawyer
And we are by nature friendly and polite to a fault. We all get along for the most part. Not so much in the North.
TheDeanofLean
I don't think I've ever had a statement speak to me in such a way. It resonates within my soul.
TheUndyingPossum
As a southerner I giggled

TheLateNightImgurTimes
HAH!
IMayOrMayNotWriteSometimes
As another southerner, I don't feel like this is as common as you say it is. But I'm also an introvert and try to avoid people in general.
Manse84
3/ "too dark." And it's the quiet acceptance of that fact by both the white and black communities. It's a quiet problem, like cancer.
Manse84
2/ quieter. It's the lady that says "My daughter is dating a (low whisper) black man." It's the coworker that tells you a neighborhood is 2/
Manse84
Racism is different in the South. It's not the NYC "yell slurs at the Italians." or dropping N-bombs (though old white folk do that).It's 1/
IMayOrMayNotWriteSometimes
Not that I disagree with you, but I thought we were talking about dudes giving up seats. When did racism enter into this?
LettuceFucker

ihatefeelings
Best description ever, I love you a little bit now
southernsmoke
can confirm
retnab
As a Canadian, people guard their seats like they're made of gold (source: someone who walks with a cane and can't get a seat 80% of rides)
chimera666777
That sucks! In TX, people get chewed out if they don't give up a seat for lots of stuff. Canes, children, elderly, carrying bags, anything!
OrbitalTeapot
As a Canadian I can confirm. I see people give up seats but its always an akward eye exchange of "you gon do it? I don wanna do it. U do it"
ishouldprobablybeplayingpokemonATM
Oh man, I'm in Saskatchewan and I'm sorry to say we are plenty racist up here too
JohnnyTitelips
Yeah but nobody lives in Canada, so it's not as big a deal.
assalamualaikum
Albertan here. Yup.
noluckduck
Can confirm!
sugarvenombb
Prairie racist. It's a thing!
whiskeyandcigarettes
If I lived in the plains I'd be racist to. Watch your dog run away for 3 days and then come back hungry. Poor saps.
ishouldprobablybeplayingpokemonATM
EXACTLY! Watching my dog run away for days always gets my blood boiling. Damn japs....
BigSnicker
Haven't been there... but I'm guessing they're probably Canadian Racist?
imsecretlyacactus
I just moved to Mississippi from az and the people I work with are legit some of the meanest I've ever met
thegrimtrigger
Yeah here in Louisiana our motto is "Hey, at least we're not Mississippi."
Armored0Titan0
Well that's because you moved to the shittiest state in the country.
atalkinghorse
Can confirm, Mississippi is the shittiest state of the U.S.
Armored0Titan0
It's why Alabama's state slogan is "We may be 49th in everything, but thank God for Mississippi."
RedVsBlue
As someone raised in the south, can confirm. it's like living in the 40's. Kids smoke, racism is our top export. and hospitality. and meth.
EdumacatedDesperado
That's rural Texas too. In urban Texas we only got hospitality and meth.
TheBitcherThreeMilfCunt
And huge amounts of fried chicken- NC
MoonsAndCatsAndMagick
Indiana is like the South without actually being in the South. Except no one is hospitable.
TotallyNotSarah
The same can be said about Michigans Upper Peninsula. Except xenophobia instead of racism.
bamblebimble
Can confirm, every southern friend I know says yes ma'am or sir to their parents. I find it weird to be so formal with a family member.
TKKain
Gonna tell y'all now, I don't really do that unless it's a serious situation or I done fucked up somehow.
TheDeanofLean
I had some friends who went up north for a band competition (I think) and the people didn't like being called ma'am or sir.
bamblebimble
To some it seems disrespectful, as it is never used up here unless mockingly. Those in military families would be the only ones saying sir
Purplegill10
It's funny because my mom always wanted me to say those titles but my dad hated them. They would fight over if I should say "dad" or "sir"
bamblebimble
Lol

Been living in the south for 3 years, heard an older lady say "honey be polite if hes the right type" dont know if its a good or bad thing

It means it doesn't matter as long as he is the kind of guy who will treat you white. See, nothing racist about tha- WAIT A SECOND!

"You remember Susan? Yes, she married that nice nigger boy from down the street, the one who paints. I have some pictures from the wedding."
DankS0uls
That was my grandma, always. She never meant anything by it though.

My 90 y.o. grandpa (r.i.p.) would say Nigger sometimes, never meant it derogatory. Made for some awkward times though.

My great grandpa wasn't racist against blacks, but he called them the n word just because thats what he knew. However, he did hate the japs
