Is it rude not to give up your bus seat to parents with young kids?

[Jewelmyth]

I generally don't give up my seat to just anyone, but I would if they were disabled, because being disabled isn't something a person can control. But I don't give my seat to elderly people; I used to, but I never do anymore. I also don't give my seat to mothers with young children. Because yesterday, mothers with children boarded the bus, and each of them had at least three young children. Also, senior citizens can ride the bus for free, so there are elderly people who take the bus even just to buy bread. I don't have sex, but poor people have children. If they don't know how to buy a car, they shouldn't have children either.

If they're elderly elderly I will last year I had to ride the bus for 2 days just to go someplace so I can get car parts to fix my car because I didn't want to call anybody but yeah I mean I gave up my seat because I'm only going a couple miles anyway

But it depends on like when they get in the bus and I look into their eyes their eyes will tell me everything if they hurt if they're tired if they really need to sit down I'll get up and say here you go because like I said I was just going a couple miles

But if I give up my seat it's because I seen something in their eyes and I just felt it was better off if I did for them anyway it doesn't matter for me I mean I've been through so much stuff doing something good for somebody does not bother me or not doing something good for them does not bother me

Women usually get mad at me because I never move.

[WhiteSteve]

I was taught to stand up for any woman, elderly, or disabled person. Technically, a man should be giving up his seat, by the rules I learned, so I guess you’d be off the hook unless you’re on a bus full of women, haha. I’d still say to give up a seat maybe if you have a seat right by the door and the person is disabled or elderly.

I learned all this in like the 90s, so I don’t know if that’s outdated nowadays. But I personally would still go by that principle.

[SofaKingsMart]

Meh!
There is no law that says one must display any amount of common courtesy.
Me? I’m the type of person who would give my seat to someone who appears to be struggling, because standing really isn’t that difficult for me. 🤷‍♀️

But like I said, it’s a personal choice. You don’t HAVE to be considerate to the people around you.

I don’t know if rude is the right word though.
Inconsiderate for sure.

[elTAHAwy]

Yes it's rude me and my wife had the worst train journey in our country of Egypt we had a little girl and the train was so Crowded my wife suffered the whole journey, in the way back we reserved two seats I stood up to a woman with a young girl because I know how much she is suffering from this journey

[slatyb]

Yes, you are a selfish bitch with no care for anyone other than yourself. Perhaps someday you will have difficulty standing on a moving bus.

[Jewelmyth]

I've been through this and I'm not complaining.

[EmmaMary]

I should have realised, typical Turkish attitude. 🙂‍↔️

[Jewelmyth]

Yes, that's a correct observation; if you don't have the means, don't have children, but if you do, you must provide them with good living conditions.

[Jewelmyth]

Also, if you're elderly, it wouldn't make sense to take the bus because nobody is obligated to give you their seat; they should either take a taxi or a car.

[OneViewpoint]

Great. Then men shouldn't give up their seat for chubby out of shape women who can probably benefit from standing on a bus or train. If we're gonna say fuck the elderly and fuck women with babies, let's just say fuck everyone. I have a seat and you don't. Not my problem. It's simple. Don''t give up your seat for anyone.

[whosnumber_1]

I would offer my seat to anyone that needed it. Standing is better for you anyway.

One day you will have a screaming kid and karma will get you.

[Jewelmyth]

I don't have children, but I rarely ride with my younger brother; I never ask anyone for a seat, I don't have the right to, karma will definitely find me, I believe that.

[whosnumber_1]

Think of it as pay it forward. An act of kindness everyday.

[Jewelmyth]

Yes, of course I do good deeds, and I do them selflessly. Because I'm that kind of person, I often encounter good things when I go out, but do you know what the problem is? People's lack of awareness. They say elderly people have free cards and they ride the bus three or four times a day for no reason; one old man even broke a record in this regard. What about penniless or irresponsible parents who have many children, and those children are often very young, and those who have many children are usually poor. Of course, I sometimes give space to mothers like that, but not always. Their lack of awareness is not my problem.

[whosnumber_1]

Sooooo because they get bus passes f$&k them right. They can stand, is that what you're trying to say? Maybe they get passes because they are old and they aren't able to get a driver's license anymore. They have free passes because they still need to get around a live their life, get groceries, medicine.

And if you have lots of kids you are irresponsible? I have a boy and twins - the two for one deal for me. So if I was to get on the bus and my kids were screaming you would generalized me as an irresponsible parent? F$&k that guy and his kids?

I'm sorry but you are an ignorant 22 year old baby with no life experience and no compassion. You should go volunteer at a soup kitchen.

[Kvass]

A toddler can really wear their mom out. Personally if she looks so exhausted I’d give my seat, not a big deal to me

[KBird]

I probably would give up my seat, but that's because that's my morals (doesn't mean that mine are right). It just depends on what yours are. If you feel like you dont need to, then dont.

[HollyK21]

I think what’s considered as rude can be subjective, so it really comes down to your own morals. If not giving up your seat feels right then you don’t need our stamp of approval, it’s your choice.

[Pyrofox]

To me it would depend on their body language and how they are being an example for their own kids.

[NathanDavis]

it's a choice, personal one too...

I always give my seat to almost everyone... for many reasons, lol

[midnightmoon05]

Me don’t judge u… hopefully one day I become a little old lady you would let me sit… wawawa….
I give my seats to others.

[fantasticass]

Yes, it's rude to not give your seat to an elderly person. You're probably the kind of person that doesn't hold the door open for people either. Yeah, Karma will catch up with you, and it won't be pretty. 🖕

[Jewelmyth]

Older people have free bus passes, so they sometimes ride the bus four times a day, and every time I get on the bus there are a lot of elderly people; I can't give them all my seat, and if they're not in good health, they shouldn't get on the bus.

[fantasticass]

Take an Uber if you don't appreciate humanity 🖕

[aceleon]

i wouldn't give them seat either, they seat themselves not even their children for f sake.

[Drumlin2001]

No. Everyone has paid for their seat. That being said, I usually would offer me seat. Having young kids myself, I know it can be difficult

[Jackblue]

I don't ride the bus much, I am in California nobody rides the bus there. When I rode the bus other places I occasionally gave up my seat to youth. I don't know if I always did.

[loveslongnails]

I'd always give up my seat to someone who needs it more, but the last time I rode a bus was about 15 years ago.

[Anonymous]

You're Turkish that's enough said about your attitude. Dealt with turks before pretty much all the same shitty fucked up mentality selfish self centered only give a shit about yourselves and the hell with everyone else. Yeah I've dealt with your kind before all the same mentality

[Laulenke]

After my car accident years ago nope I dont give up my seat the bouncing throws my balance off and makes my knees hurt

[Anonymous]

yea i never understood it either. As if the kids can't stand

[Anonymous]

Parents and kids don't need seats over anyone else. It's their choice to get on the bus. It would be polite for a man to give up his seat for the mom but certainly not the dad or the kids.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Of course it's rude... But do it anyway. They need to learn about how the world REALLY works!

[Anonymous]

I find your principles rather selfish. And based on what you’ve said, I believe you are a rude, inconsiderate and disrespectful individual. Don’t expect others to be respectful to you especially after they see your true colors.

[Jewelmyth]

Yes, of course, I'm bad and you're so cool and nice, okay?

[nudeNhorny]

I give up my seat to anyone, old, young, women, men, pregnant, disable, literally anyone.

[MrChinaski]

Wow. You have terrible manners.

[MrChinaski]

No doubt you will DM abuse at me again like last time I answered one of your questions. Yay, for me.

[Jewelmyth]

I didn't insult you, I just said you're an empty person. That's not an insult, it's a characteristic of yours. 🤭

[Jewelmyth]

You live in a small town, and I'm sure the people there know how to behave, or at least they don't have too many children.

[Jewelmyth]

But even the elderly here are disrespectful, very disrespectful, sometimes I even see them using their seats to catch the bus, I call this a difference in culture. If you were a thinking man, you would think about this.

[AngryCarl3]

Unless you're pregnant, elderly or disabled you can stand.

[Bklynbadboy12]

I dont think it's rude but as a man if you dont morally you suck

[Jewelmyth]

Yes, you're a perfect guy and I'm a terrible girl 🤪

[Anonymous]

Don't worry most women don't give up there seats for anyone it's very rare they considers it's a man's duty to sacrifice only.

[Staximus]

You should give up your seat for old ladies or you’re a scoundrel

[AviatorTom]

Yes, it's rude.

[Paige2006]

I think it is!

[_Jenny_]

Give up ⬆️ your seat

[laryipelss]

No. I never give mine up. Too bad, too sad

[jahaims]

Nope

[bradyhawkesjr73]

Very much so.
