Giving up your seat to pregant women.
-
How would you feel if you gave your seat to a pregnant woman, and she doesn't even give two hoots 'bout your gesture.
That is, she sits down, and ignors you. No 'thank you', no nodding, and not even a smile? I feel that my gesture was taken for granted. -
u mean u give up your seat simply because u want the recognisation??Originally posted by aRcTiC_sTaR:How would you feel if you gave your seat to a pregnant woman, and she doesn't even give two hoots 'bout your gesture.

No, but isn't it manners just to say thanks or something?
-

this is common nowadays. not just when giving up seats. holding the lift, doors for ppl etc too.Originally posted by aRcTiC_sTaR:How would you feel if you gave your seat to a pregnant woman, and she doesn't even give two hoots 'bout your gesture.

my take on these is people nowadays are so 'cold' to each other that some find it unusual when you show goodwill. -
sg ppl are rather rude.
give up to old folks, children or women ... they take it as entitlement.
Not that this poster is looking for recognition, but the person who is given the seat should at least have enough grace to be thankful and smile. You mean you like someone to take your seat you gave up and snub you? -
maybe those pregnant normally have bad mood one??
-
Exactly. They think that it's an entitlement to have others giving up the seats for them. They could have been left standing if no one gives up their seat.Originally posted by mistyblue:sg ppl are rather rude.

Mood swing? Maybe. But it wouldn't kill to say 'thanks'.Originally posted by thoreldan:maybe those pregnant normally have bad mood one?? -
acknowledgement is basic courtesy

my fren just gave up her seat to a pregnant lady this morning. can't remb if she said thks or not. but she was "resting her eyes" aft she sits down.

No one smiles anymore. When was the last time you remember that someone smiled to you, making your day? Let's not talk 'bout acquaintances. Talk 'bout service providers like cashiers.

wah then I every day also bad mood I think I gonna boom the whole world liao!Originally posted by thoreldan:maybe those pregnant normally have bad mood one??
Cannot always use bad mood to excuse everyone. If they bad mood, then take the taxi lah. Why must cram with other people and then give other people face cause they also need to rest and take up the seat.
I believe sg ppl got to learn more civility. Most are just plain ill mannered and unciviled towards their fellow country person. Although most times I don't expect any thanks at all cause I know local entitlement mentality. The fact that I always feel surprised when the nice person thank me is something telling about my personal view of sg and its pple are really low. -
Cultivation starts from young. Somehow I feel that kids nowadays are not as well-mannered as in the past.

Because their parents teach them the wrong things.Originally posted by aRcTiC_sTaR:Cultivation starts from young. Somehow I feel that kids nowadays are not as well-mannered as in the past.

how can we expect kids nowadays to be polite when they are already shouting at their mothers. i have seen it many times.
once i saw an elder approached a teenager and asked which station he should alight to go to singapore expo. the teenager just answered 'DONT KNOW' and walked away. -
They deserve to be slapped.

I'm okay with that.Originally posted by aRcTiC_sTaR:How would you feel if you gave your seat to a pregnant woman, and she doesn't even give two hoots 'bout your gesture.

It's the thought that counts
-
ill just stand up..
wait for her to see down..
then ill walk away.. -
Saw another pregnant lady on the train in the afternoon.
Same thing happened when a stranger offered her a seat. Not a word of thanks. I wonder if she's the same person I encountered. -
it is a standard procedure to give up seats for preggy women. it is their special entitlement.
-
It is a form of basic courtesy to say thanks.

nobody practise common sense and courtesy nowadaysOriginally posted by aRcTiC_sTaR:It is a form of basic courtesy to say thanks. -
Are you expecting something in return for the favor you bestowed on the old woman?Originally posted by aRcTiC_sTaR:How would you feel if you gave your seat to a pregnant woman, and she doesn't even give two hoots 'bout your gesture.

Yah, I think you should be expecting something, after all, favors should be repaid. -
