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 [emoji23]
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.
Why do women insist their bags deserve a seat?

Well they shouldn't. Tell them to move it

When they cross their legs diagonally and take up 4 seats. That shits me.
And you sit down and their legs are still crossed

Oh yeah and men spreading their legs so far taking up about three seats is better

Those two seaters facing each other. The left leg crossed to the right seat in front. Takes the two opposing seats space and the angle takes the one next to them.
Only on special occasions have i come across this type of spreader.

Oh, stand there, point at it and make them move it. I used to.
First time getting the train to work in about 3 months, been buses replacing for that time. Business as usual but got ticket checked on the tram, i hadn't touched on. I said I'd just got on and he walked off and pinged the next girl who hadn't touched on with a fine!
First time I've been checked on that tram (St Kilda Rd) in two years.

Remember the old days when if you touched on after 6pm, it was just a 2 hour ticket. I was on a tram at like 5.54pm just waiting for that 6pm tickover. Waited... Saw 6, swiped on.
THEN literally 45 secondsish later all the ticket inspectors leap in the air, checking everyone.
I honestly had a ****ing heart attack.
