Everyday in nyc I see people giving up seats for various reasons
imsmallfry
In ireland, no.
VictoriaRachel
Used to take seats offered to me when I was 'pregnant' (fat), karma caught up, now thinner but actually pregnant and no one offers!
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.
ImARottenTomatoLookingForLove
Achievement unlocked!
MyLifeIsAllAboutBirbs
Summer bang a dude without a car or buy a car yoy dumb hoe
MostPeopleAreIdiots
She should have fucked a guy with a car.
cyan0t1c
2 pregnancies? That's one hell of a commute!
Aimlockbelch
I've seen the depths of human depravity on the NY subway. Nice to see it's not all bad. Excelsior!
fr1080f
Isn't this mandatory?
WhereDidTheLastHourGo
If you don't sit down, you never have to give up your seat.
morebeastlessbeauty
She was holding onto that trophy for sometime.
iReallyDontGetIt
I gave a men a present onse and he ate it!
keystotheairlock
Why is there a V on his chest?
NoMasDolor
And the guy was her husband! Plot twist!
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
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.
JRedBear
Well if there are trophies involved that changes everything. This could be the next Olympic sport.
Verminbntyhuntr
Maybe she was also overweight and no one could tell she was pregnant.
AsianJimfromTheOffice
It's bc he felt bad for all the pregnant women he left
TurtleTwoTimes
Oooooooh
HaroldStewartIII
Ppffffhahah!
andyonetime
Wow
Anthroposapien

flushy
In NYC, I've seen more women refuse to give up their seats (or pretend they didn't notice) than men.
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.
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.
ThroughTheLookingGlass
And there you have it.
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
BecozImBatman
Booty call,... Each night
57697a6f
That sounds like it $100% happened.
Uriah30
Throughout two pregnancies? Hopefully she finds a seat normally most days.
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.
whiskeyandcigarettes
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.
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
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
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...
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
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 ...
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
socially interact with total strangers by offering them my seat. Unlike a pregnant person, I didn't choose my condition.
C4NDY455
I expected more from Canadia
4Sc0reand7beersago
How long was this bitch walking around with this dumb thing?
somethingsomethingmcbob
Nice. Commuters suck. I asked for seats during my pregnancy, because No One offered. Well, almost no one.
DoctorSvenHoek
ill bet shes fat and was not obviously pregnant
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.
TheMayorOfTittyCity
From US, yes, very uncommon, I have never once been given a trophy from a stranger
compd
Even as the mayor?
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.
Lutafist
Depends where
Siegmier1
North east? Yes!
rbudrick
I would say that trophy is super uncommon.
BecozImBatman
News flash : chick was after black d i c
B0ULLIE
This looks like NY. It's not uncommon but ya know... Sometimes..
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
willzyx1980
No. If it was, would anyone carry around a trophy with that written on it?
Blamblam101
apparently
K80k
People give up thier seats all the time in NYC.
Finain
In New York this is unheard of, this guy would have to move.
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.
moderatbothsides
Not here in Portland. IDK about elsewhere.
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.
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
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.
RotundYoshi
In Australia there are seats that by law are to be used by people with 'special needs' I.e. pregnancy or elderly, etc.
combatwombat0
SoCal: youre required to give up certain seats for disabled/elderly/pregnant
ChrisTallant
To be nice? It depends on where..
18yearoldBlackDynamite
depends
danzafan37
In NYC, yeah, not common.
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.
humptyblargh
The bigger the city, the more likely the shitty behavior, in my experience.
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.
KhakiChan
Im on Bart right now and I'm not getting up for shit
hadoeken
"I'm not pregnant. I'm just fat, you dick-cheese."
BecozImBatman
C 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
BenHolloway
Down in the South West our busses have designated seating at the front for the elderly/pregnant
BecozImBatman
FrozenFor30Years
Those are here too, but not on all busses, and people still give seats up tat aren't labelled as such.
oJoeDM
And the back on the top is reserved for the homeless guy smoking weed and drinking white ace.
AaronBarreto
I want that seat!
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...
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
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
PaintedHole
And they say you Brits are polite
ImWonderingIfIllEverGetMyOwnUsername
Londoners, no. Up North they are the most lovely people
BecozImBatman
We r polite in general... I mean, while in queue... Or having breakfast...
Manse84
Southern US, no. But being polite down here is a requirement. We're like Canadians, but racist
Seishuku
Most eloquent/accurate description I've heard yet! Well done
TheLateNightImgurTimes
HAH!
southernsmoke
can confirm
SuperSaiyanSasquatch
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.
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"
TheUndyingPossum
As a southerner I giggled
LettuceFucker

infiniteflux
I'm black and live in the boonies of Virginia. When they are racist they are really racist. When good guys they're really good.
DefinetlyNotObsessed
I've noticed that too it's either the nicest people you'll ever meet or the meanest
AdorableTinyKitties
That's... Accurate wow. +1
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."
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!
BigSnicker
Haven't been there... but I'm guessing they're probably Canadian Racist?
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....
RandomStranger55
I dunno, Alberta exists.

ihatefeelings
Best description ever, I love you a little bit now

Hahahaha
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.
Jouvd
That is exactly how I explain the south to my british relatives!!!
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.
acid316
Can confirm. -North GA

Been living in southern VA for some years. Can also confirm.

Texan here. Can confirm.
Outlawnightmare
Massachusetts here. Not racist, just general assholes.
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.
TheBitcherThreeMilfCunt
And huge amounts of fried chicken- NC
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.
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
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
nonrelevantname
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
RedVsBlue
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!
causality
"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."
FizzyMango
My 90 y.o. grandpa (r.i.p.) would say Nigger sometimes, never meant it derogatory. Made for some awkward times though.
causality
Things I have heard my south Georgia grandparents say.
IsaacZehPanda
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
DankS0uls
That was my grandma, always. She never meant anything by it though.
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
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?
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/
