Hi Singaporean,
I am curious y so many Singaporean didn't give up their seats to elderly, pregnant women and now even disabled ppl? Do you need the seat more than a disabled peson using walking aids? Wat is rushing thru your mind when you compete with a handicapped for a seat? Rolling Eyes Tell me your reasons....

borgkilla SG

well that just reflects how we have not taught ourselves the basics of empathy

mistyblue SG

Am I expected to? Is it morally wrong ? Are these people thinking they are entitled to get their way just cus?

Most of the times, the girls will give up their seats. I've not seen many guys give up their seats. And even if the person give up the seat, the person who takes it, some just treat it like their god given right. Besides, nowadays these people, old, young, teens and some preggies shove people out of the way to get to that seat or whatever. So I would not worry about them not getting the seat.

SingaporeanHeartLander SG

Yes, it's morally wrong. How long did it actually took you to figure that out ?

nuchio SG

not morally wrong

just very inconsiderate

nuchio SG

1. sometimes dreaming or too occupied

2. asked already but some people dont want to take seat. what you see is after the rejection

3. cannot decide if the woman is pregnant or not. sometimes they are just fat or have given birth. then they get angry that they should be given a seat.

ps - i hope you always give up your seat coz you said "what is rushing through YOUR mind..."

mistyblue SG

There's nothing moral about it. If its morally wrong, put your pic up and we will monitor you.
Everytime we see you on the train and did not give up your seat, we will remind you what you said.

i always give up one.. Laughing

Devil1976 SG

YEAH... This has often been a BIG KILLER for me... Mr. Green "

Devil1976 SG

Some experience of my own to add... Not saying that all of them are like that... Mr. Green >

CASE 1

Was in a bus sitting at somewhere nearer the front... Behind me still got seats.. Then this old man (quite fit and can walk well with the bus shaking away... ) got up the bus, walked up to me and said, "Get up! I'm an OLD MAN...." I was like.... Shocked And everybody else around were like... Confused Question

CASE 2

Hawker centre... Was at a table where the whole hawker centre was VERY CROWDED... Then 2 deaf / mute snatched up the empty seats beside me... Started complaining the table VERY DIRTY (the table was just a bit wet) and cleaned it with TISSUES... After which threw the tissues right in front of me while I was having my noodles.... Rolling Eyes I really FELT LIKE giving them the 'sign language'....

ALL IN ALL... I feel that no matter you PREGNANT, FAT, OLD, WHATEVER... If you're FARKED UP... You're FARKED UP.... Twisted Evil

mistyblue SG

I know..
I've also seen old people who are healthier than myself complain loudly ppl never give them seats. As if they old means Dai Sai - KNS

Aunties push the used utensils and make loud and very rude comments about you/your choice of food and even point so close their nails nearly touch your food as if you as a person do not exists. I got angry and told them they are Low Class people - Xia Deng Ren.

I had one who sat beside me on the long row seats on the bus while all the seats are free. She used my shoulder to lean on to watch TV. I shove my bag between and she totally lie down on my bag and squash me onto a corner. I got up and told her to lose some weight B!tch!

Nowadays I bo-kek-kee. Damn it, they treat me like dirt why should I even respect them - you should tell them off too. Don't let them think they are old/preggie/whatever, they can get away with bad behaviour and low class attitude.

Yeah, this exactly happened to me before, those people are really fuk-up.

At a very crowded hawker center, here come 2 old aunties, or should I all them chee-bye, come and ask us (me and my girlfriend) can sit on the empty seat, though very unwilling, we say yes and let them sit, then this 2 old chee-bye push all the dirty plates and bowls towards us, and use tissue to wipe the table, then just threw on the table. Then the fuking tissues fly on us due to the fans.

I was damn piss off, then I wait while they are eating, I SPIT MY PHLEGM ON MY FOOD, VERY LOUD, like "clak-phew, phew, phew, phew...", and use my chopstick to stir them and EAT IT. I can see their face and feel that is very disgusting, and they have no more appetite to eat anymore.

Those fuker pretend to be old and weak are mostly fuk-up!

i will offer... even though i love to sit.

most of the time when i board the train or bus. i will rush for a good position to sit... i doing this so that if anyone need this seat more than me, than i can gladly offer. Mr. Green

HafizulKMS SG

There was a bus full of passengers, I mean FULL. Though I am waited for the same bus, but since it's already packed, so wait for another bus.

Then suddenly 2 old chee-bye aunties come, they want to squeeze into the bus, where the bus already NO MORE SPACE. Then they shouted, go inside go inside. How to go inside?

Then I saw this 2 chee-bye from outside, and I REALLY CANNOT STAND THEM, their face, and the fat body like pig. Then, I give them a kick on one of their butt, full strength, and she fell forward and push all the passengers in front, and all like want to fall down, and scream. (Imagine the impact of this fat auntie)

I quickly run from there, and can listen to the passengers scolding, with all kind of bad words, in English, Mandarin, Hokkien... wa shiok ah.

papercut87 SG

i dunno about the others, but i'll definitely offer my seat to the elderly/disabled. pardon me if im digressing but what truly irritates me are people on the crowded bus who prefer to sit at the outer seat... leaving the inside one unoccupied? and when u ask them whether u ask them whether u can seat... they'll shift their bodies to let u squeeze inside that seat lor.. i mean cant they just shift inside? hiak hiak.. Confused

SingaporeanHeartLander SG

Suppose I did put my pic up, would you take the time to monitor me ? Better not, because in the end, I win. I always give up my seat. This talk about morals ? How good would you feel if some pregnant woman fell just because someone like you didn't give up your seat ?

Sure, Singapore got its fair share of rude and old assholes but do not let the 20% get to your head, and then start stereotyping the remaining 80%. It doesn't kill you go give up that seat.

this is just few of ugly cases we should not because of some bad experience and do not let up seat to them.

ghimpheng SG

I would asked them wheather they want to sit or not and if they want then I stand up and let them sit lor if not then I continue sitting lor just a basic courtesy don't expect others to ask u to give up seat as Above the old man told that person to get up to let him sit and the person felt Crappyz right

casshern SG

you try to give up your seat to some one who needs it more, your fellow passengers will stare at you with the "Who are you trying to impress" look

the person rejects your offer? you get the "HAHAHAHAHAHHA" smirk look

junh SG
