last SG · 2006-09-26T17:00:43+00:00

Seriously, I've actually had pregnant women politely reject my offer of a seat. Twice. One of them was heavily pregnant somemore. Both cases I kept ins...

yuko-ogura SG

was it a typo or meant on purpose? Razz

davidche SG

The pregnent lady shld call someone to give her the seat mah.

If that guy dont listen then lecture him on morales and basic courtesy and how to do singapore proud.

davidche SG

dont you think its basic common sense to tell the guy in his 20s that there is a pregnent old lady?

M©+square SG

Why didn't you help her get a seat then?

Not your call??? Neutral

Darkness_hacker99 SG

The preganat lady should seduce me and I’ll give her the sit.

M©+square SG

I suppose in this senario.
The witness should in the first place, ask himself 'what i could have done for the pregnant lady to show graciousness is still around'

Before point finger at the society.

Urroh SG

U try asking all the pregnant ladies if It is enjoyable to get preg?

Have to carry all the extra weight, leg pain. Cramps if stand for too long. Back aches, shoulder aches. Somemore have to tahan the big belly. Go ask yr mother whether it is enjoyable.

Next time dun make fun of pregnant ladies since all of us come from a mother. Let seats for them or point out to other people seating to let their seats.

Kuali Baba SG

The mum-to-be didn't ask for a seat. The sad thing is that arrogance, selfishness and avarice have replaced grace and thoughtfulness in those seated commuters.

And get your spelling of the word 'pregnant' right.

Sometime its not whether wan to give anot...for instance...once i was on the MRT while going back home from raffles place...there is this lady with child that board the train ar around newton-summerset area i cant remember while i was slping due to damn tired and listening to my MP3 at the same time...den when i saw her right in fornt of me when i woke up, i wanted to giv in the seat to her...but after i took out my MP3 earpiece...tmd straight away dun wan giv liaoz...trying to hint me that i SHOULD and i mean SHOULD giv the seat to her...the use of her words is insulting me...den i jus shout back at her....F*** u lar...wan seat dun giv attitude lar b***h...den she called her husband and trying to insult me again...this kind of ppl jus dun deserve the right to hav the seat...so what if u got baby and carry lots of stuffs...do u think ur manners is better than those that dun giv in to u Neutral

i_heart_icecream SG

haiz.. there are all sorts of ppl out there.. n everytime the kind ones bump into the nasty ones.. heard of this chinese saying "ren2 shan4 bei4 ren2 qi1, ma3 shan4 bei4 ren2 qi2"? loosely translated: kind ppl kena bullied by other ppl, kind horse kena ride by ppl.. which means, kind ppl r often taken advantage of... grrr... sch teaches us 2 be polite, then we bump into all sorts of ungracious ppl, want to be polite also dulan Evil or Very Mad

Car so expensive so jia lat pregant also gotta go squeeze bus, wait for bus and i even saw a family of 4 ( 2 adults and 2 kids. both babies ) and 1 baby in the stomache boarding the MRT. So many kids but be damn expensive. The malay couple so rich to have so many kids why don't want to buy a car?? umm.... Rolling Eyes

toyota-corolla SG

you see nowadays COE drop like machiam, someone jumping off the flat. but on the other side, the Car Price increase. therefor the price remain.
somemore must pay COE, Road Tax, Insurance, Parking, ERP, Season Parking, Petrol, Matain, Servicing. (what else did i miss out? hmm)

kokwhye SG

Need to elaborate on the “size” of the lady…don’t mean to be offensive.. but sometimes I have difficulty to differentiate whether the lady is pregnant..or overweight esp at 4-5 months pregnant.. which was why I sometimes do not give up the seat.. for the kiasee in me fears the embaressment…

Spirit of Fire SG

Why didn't u tell any 1 of abled body people to give up their seats for the pregnant lady??? And u turn a blind eye to it & let it pass like that??? And u come to the forum to complain??? In the worst case scenario, if everybody's like u, give way to cowardice, evil will flourish with ease.

1 very good example: Before the start of WWII, Germany happily surrendered its voice to 1 man. Adolph Hitler came to power aided by the silence of people who could have spoken out, but did not.

dahliamorie SG

What happened to the hao gong ming we were taught during primary school! Evil or Very Mad

Phoebie SG

yah some women tend to have a stinky attitute. They tot as if people owe them and they deserve the right. I meet a lot of such people when working. Some customers demand good quality service, but they should think to themselve "are they themselve showing good manners, polite, courteous in the first place when speaking to the staffs initially?"
