No, and when I saw you quoted this I felt “phwoar” was going to feature
Waiting for the tram yesterday, I see out of the corner of my eye a tram going very slowly the other day. I look up and there's a bloke who seemed paralytic drunk stumbling along the track in front of the tram. I called out "hey bro, look out behind you", he eventually realised and walked over to the stop I was at.
He's standing there swaying and dribbling shit, there were a few women nearby who seemed a bit uncomfortable. Anyway the tram came (after I got him to move off the track again) and on he went, I and the other people from the stop went to the next door ha ha, never a dull moment.

A woman just got onto the train, I suspect she’s pregnant but no where near sure enough to offer my seat. She’s way too young to be doing that as an age thing so she’d know I think she’s pregnant, could get in trouble ha ha

Or she might just be grateful. You could always move towards the exit as if you were getting off next stop.

Back working in the CBD for the first time in years using public transport again, it's been amusing for the first couple of weeks, I picture getting jack of it soon though 
I've gone through periods where I remain "oblivious" and ignore my surroundings. People tend to leave me alone (I assume my thug appearance - hoodie on etc works) and look for other seating when they get on.
Lately I just get up and move to avoid awkward confrontations. This also includes when I'm only a few seats away from certain zones

What’s happened to manners, and being nice to others? So it’s not reciprocated, so what?I've gone through periods where I remain "oblivious" and ignore my surroundings. People tend to leave me alone (I assume my thug appearance - hoodie on etc works) and look for other seating when they get on.

From my perspective its how things are "expected" and thus people act entitled as a result. I don’t sit in the designated disabled spots on buses or trains but as I wrote if I'm a few seats away I still move when its warranted.
I dislike people barging in/on without being polite about it.
Posted about an incident on here years ago where someone demanded that they use the seat and sit next me. And I responded with "if you violate my personal space I'll be forced to react in self defence". I did this on multiple occasions - one person got the message and moved on. Another occasion my bluff was called and it was a very awkward trip the rest of the way LOL.
