i just wanna sit

giving up one's seat in the train to pregnant ladies and the elderly is a given. i'd do that in an instant the moment i set eyes on any one of them. but what about those who's older than you? like say you're 15...shd you give up your seat for someone who looks 20...25? that's a bit tricky.

i was really really tired when i took the train home from work yesterday. so i welcomed the sight of the guy in front of me vacating his seat to alight from the train. i plonked myself onto the seat. and proceeded immediately to feel guilty for not giving the seat to the 'auntie' who was standing beside me.

now the 'auntie' cannot be classified as an 'elderly' cos she looked to be in her late 30s or maybe early 40s. (granted she shouldnt even be called an 'auntie', but she was dressed so auntie-like that i just have to call her that! :P) and she's definitely not pregnant. but i suppose we've always been taught to respect our elders, even if they're a few hours older than us, so i couldnt help but feel guilty for not giving the seat to her.

but hey, i was really really tired. so forgive me for indulging in that little bit of selfishness. i promise not to do that to pregnant ladies and the elderly though. you can count on that.
