Saddened by this

[Shocked193731]

My friend who is 8 months pregnant had to get the train somewhere earlier this week. She walked down the whole aisle, obviously very visibly heavily pregnant, and not one person offered her a seat. After then standing around, eventually somebody - who was sitting on a window seat (!!!) - gave it up to her.

Visibly pregnant, in this very hot weather, and she said that everybody just chose to ignore her. Not only does this make me sad but also really angry.

Please, if you can and you see a pregnant woman struggling, give your seat to her without hesitation.

Hasn't she got a tongue in her head?

She needs to be a big girl and ask for a seat. I've had twins. I got to the point i could barely walk due to pelvis pain. If she was struggling that much she would have asked.

Being able to post on the internet doesn't render you incapable and incompetent and unable to rtft where you would have discovered it was a train that didn't take reservations, yet, here we are.

If you want to exist in a thoughtless bubble where you can't even be bothered to glance up at your fellow passengers, that's on you but no need to be rude and at least own it.

Good for you. You do realise everyone is not you? She shouldn't have to ask. That's the point of discussion.

The world needs more people like your dad. How kind and thoughtful. The younger generation of men could learn a lot from him. The woman who shouted at your dad - how nasty.

jugggugg Not sure went wrong with my post,but my 🙄was meant to be in response to the poster who said she shouldn't have travelled! I wasn't rolling my eyes at the fact that the OP thought it would have been nice if someone had offered her friend a seat.

I have a tongue in my head and I wouldn't be able to ask someone to stand to give me a seat.

I realise this is probably outwith your thinking ability level so I won't waste my time explaining but a small clue - not everyone is the same.

The only 'big girl' you resemble it the class bully.

I happily offered my seat to an obviously pregnant lady, who accepted with thanks. The man next to me then jumped up, as I stood up, so a rather jolly game of musical chairs took place with much good will… it does happen, it just doesn’t make a good story.
