I can guarantee you that if Rob Anders rode transit he'd push the elderly out of the way so he could sit down.

You're thinking of Jack Layton.

No Jack only does it if it helps him get on TV.

Everytime I take the train, I usually try and take the Window seat and sometimes I just stand by the doors. through I generally would let an elderly person take my seat if need be, but if I am carrying a heavy load throughout the long ride, I ain't budging my seat whatsoever.

This would be interesting as a poll

1. Men should always give up their seats to women, the elderly, and those with a identifiable conditions that requires them to avoid standing for long periods of time, and when asked to

2. Men should always give up their seats to the elderly and those with a identifiable conditions that requires them to avoid standing for long periods of time, and when asked to

3. Men should only give up their seats when asked to

4. Stay sitting


I think I covered all the options on this thread.

I love how when going out at night you run into several examples of girls feeling they are entitled to not wait for anything.

For example the girl that thought because she was all dressed up from whatever guido market she was just at that she could order her pizza before me and I would just let it happen.

Never get between me and Pizza.

I made an absolute scene:

"Excuse me, what are you doing?"

"Ordering my pizza"

"Did you not see the three people in line (me and my 2 friends) waiting in line for their pizza?"

"I'm a girl, let me in front of you"

"Are you kidding me?"

"You don't want to let a pretty girl get her pizza before you?"

"I don't know. I've never had a pretty girl butt in front of me in line for pizza before. Just you."

"Effing @$$hole. You must do really well with the ladies."

"I do, they just aren't the kind that pound back pizza by the slice at 2am every night. I'm guessing you're usually here a few times a day."

"#$#$#$# Prick."

*goes to the back of the line*

Mission accomplished.

Can someone point me towards the raging erick estrada thread so I can get in on this joke...

[kipperiggy]

Like others have said, it's not what she did (asking for the seat) it's how she asked for it. She could have been a bit more polite about it and less like she just expected you to give up your seat.

I'm a female, and I think that it's nice to be a friendly, kind person to all those around you, rather than just chivalrous because it's a female.

I can direct you at the thread, but you must be aware it is not a joke, he is one bad ass motha whaaaaat.

I am going to make stickers and slap them on the backs of seats on CTrains (have never ridden in one, I assume there are seats based on this thread) and buses.

I'll do it guerrilla style, like those punk kids with their skateboard stickers.

My Stickers will say "If you have a penis, stand up and give a lady your seat, you weanus"

This is where I usually say "prove it".

I'm in my mid-30s. I don't give up my seat to 40 year old men and I wouldn't give up my seat to a 40 year old woman. As the Flying Spaghetti Monster dictates, "samey-samey". The equality door swings both ways.

Now, I was thinking of this exact thing today before this thread appeared. I would rather stand at the back of the bus than sit at the front. I consider the front of the bus, the whole front half, priority seating. If you are in the front half of the bus, you should be ready to vacate your seat as soon as you see someone you think would need the seat more than you (regardless of sex). Or if someone asks for your seat. No questions asked. But if I'm in the very back, I'm gonna have my headphones in watching some "Third Watch" or some-such and you ain't getting my seat if you're 110 and dying from arthritis pain.

What about letting women be the first on and off the elevator?

Anyone bringing up women's rights and equality issues has completely missed the point. You do these things (giving up your seat, holding doors, etc.) because it's right, and courteous thing to do.

I don't do that to be nice, I do it to check out their ass.

Judging by this thread, I am sure half this place muscles their way onto an elevator before woman and press the close door button. The whole way they are yelling "EQUALITY EQUALITY - SAMEY-SAMEY - SPAGHETTI MONSTER SAYS SAMEYS"
