Pregnant woman on the train

[Bazladoo]

I am disgusted with some member of the british public especially the old! I am 7 months pregnant and had to catch a train today. The train was quite busy and there were hardly any free seats so I went up to an old man who was taken up 2 seats and asked him to move up. he said he ain't moving because he has his bags on the other seat and refused to put them on the floor! So I said I'm clearly pregnant it's uncomfortable to stand for long times and on a moving train I could fall. He said tough I ain't moving it's not my fault you got knocked up and some other comment about me looking too young to be pregnant.

I don't know where idiots like this get off making pregnant women stand on crouded trains and dissing them!

Sorry but its they're seat, because they got it first. I wouldn't give mine up, i don't give a **** if your pregnant, old or gay.

[Tom]

spread your legs, get successfully spunked up and you think that gives you the right to a train seat? the solution? learn to drive.

[Jordan.]

You should have slapped him he'd probably have had an heart attack and died. Free seat for you.

You shouldve grabbed his bags and stuffed them through the window hatch.

Though at your age you should be able to stand up preggers or not.

[Stacey.]

You're like a girl lesbian version of Thomas or something.

I would've just sat on his bags or on his lap.

[Bazladoo]

I didn't ask the old man to give up his seat from me, he was taking up 2 seats I asked him to move up so I could take one of the seats!

Why does that make me a bad person?

Are you honestly saying that on a train or bus your bags would take priority over a pregnant woman?

really woo

[Ninastar]

i saw a pregnant lesbian once.

Unlike others I think that's extremely selfish to not let a pregnant woman sit down in a seat that is otherwise being used to stand his carrier bags on. Should have put him in his place! I hate selfish people like that. Cause nothing but grief. Think that's totally wrong myself... Seeing as he was taking up two seats in the first place.

What if the bag had something valuable in? Or if the owner didn't want the bag getting dirty on the floor? There are far more important things than a pregnant woman :)

[Bazladoo]

Being a lesbian doesn't make me any less of a woman I can still have children! in fact this is gonna be my second.

sperm doner is the dad i think

Oh right!

But if you're like in a relationship like two girls together well how do you decide which one has the kid?

[Ninastar]

Oh right!

But if you're like in a relationship like two girls together well how do you decide which one has the kid?

i dont know, maybe the one thats healthier or the one that wants to be pregnant or something.

[Bazladoo]

not that it's any of your business but the father of both my kids died ok!

We were together since we were 14 when I was 16 I became pregnant with my first and 7 months ago I became pregnant again then 4 months ago he did of a heart defect it was something he had since birth and never knew about. After that I decided I didn't want any other man abd I didn't want my kids calling any other man dad. I wasthen left with the choice over spending the rest of my life alone or sharing it with another woman so I became a lesbian so sue me!

I wish I never came back none of you understand what it's like, yes I get angry sometimes and a bit ott but I've gone through a lot and it's all too easy for all you to sit at home on your pcs and through your hurtful remarks at me no of you no what I've had to go through!

[Zippy]

with the greatest respect you can't become a lesbian. You either are instinctively or you are not. Its not a choice.

Having babies is a choice and at your age a bad one. IMHO.

Ah sorry to hear that.

I think the reason many take the mick on here...is not because you are a lesbian, or pregnant, or anything to do with you as a person. It is because you bring lesbians into EVERYTHING and accuse people of being homophobic quite often, when there was nothing to even suggest they were homophobic.

You should have told him he only paid for one seat and then sat on his bags - and believe me I've done that before now:D

He moved in the end anyway I started shouting at him and the conductor told him off!

Why do I find that hard to believe?

[Vicky.]

Surely if you were the one shouting, you would be told to get off.

hmm a pregnant woman should be told to ge off a moving train?? Really? :rolleyes:

And yes, you should be. if you start shouting at someone and causing a scene.

Oh, and pregnancy is not an illness. I hate people who think like people should be extra careful around them and basically wait on them hand and foot because they are pregnant.

My little sister is 2 weeks away from her due date, and she still manages to do everything without mentioning that 'shes a pregnant woman'

I still think that a seat should be given up for a pregnant woman tbh.

I did think that to start with. But this 'story' seems a bit different to usual circumstances.

However if someone was ranting and raving in my face about being pregnant and needing to sit down, I would tell them where to go tbh.

I thought the point of you was to mod the forums not start arguments! Even if I wasn't pregnant on any form of public transport a person should take priority over a bag! If you don't agree with that I feel sorry for you!

I asked someone to move a bag off a seat so I culd sit down on a crowded train, how is that asking to be waited on hand and foot?

Basically, it sounds like you have a terrible attitude problem, and I am not surprised that the man refused to move his bags. You likely just growled MOVE THEM at him or something.

Although we are of course, speaking hypothetically, as this train journey seems to have been in your head if you really believe a conductor would throw a man off a moving train because you started shouting at him :D

She wasn't asking anyone to give up the one seat they'd paid for, but to move his bags off the other seat. Like I said, I've been in that situation and just went ahead to sit on the bags - you should see how quick people move them when an arse is about to descend and squash the contents!

I said the conductor told the man off I think the man being thrown of a moving train is all in your head tbh.

I asked the man nicely if I could sit down and he said no then gave me abuse I lost my temper and shouted at him as did other ppl on the train who could see he was being out of order and then someone told a conductor and the conductor told the old man off. said ppl take priority over seats and he was told to move them then I sat down.

Idon't understand how you can youcan get so annoyed by this and start being rude to me???

[Vicky.]

You think everyone is rude to you. I will be homophobic next too no doubt :D

And I'm not annoyed, I'm actually laughing. :D

ok so say you girlfriend has to catch a train or a bus in mid jan and it's busy and there is one seat left but someone has a bag on it and she asks them if they can move their bag so she can sit. Are you telling me if that personturned round and said no tough **** youcan stand! You'd just be like 'fair enough?

Fine but i would hit someone (hard) if they sat on my bags, i carry a camera that cost about £200 and a phone worth £100 in my bag at all times, and i wouldn't put them on the floor, for anyone.

There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes with teaching. I once did teacher training so I do have some insight here.

As for the OP, we were taught at school that women in Africa worked right up to the birth in the fields. When the baby was born they just squatted down in the field, gave birth, cut the umbilical chord with a handy stone, tied it up, put the baby on their back, and got straight back to work!!!! :shocked:

Not sure how true that was or is :conf:

CBA reading the whole thread, but yes I think a bag should be moved to allow a pregnant woman to sit down. Sjouldn't even be questioned to be honest. Not moving it would be downright ignorance.

I worked until I was eight and half months pregnant with my sons, by which time it was all I could do to move from one room to another. I never insisted on anyone offering me their seat, but I would certainly have made a fuss if a seat was being occupied by their bloody bags.

Since I don't live in Africa or any other third world country where the women have NO CHOICE but to give birth in the fields because they have to continue to work for fear of starvation, I expect the minimum level of courtesy and concern for any human being having difficulty standing for whatever reason. Pregnancy may not be an "illness", but it is extremely uncomfortable and exhausting, especially in the later stages. Anyone who thinks it's acceptable to leave their bags on a seat whilst another passenger stands, whether disabled, elderly,pregnant or able-bodied, is a selfish, inconsiderate moron.

A bag should be moved to let ANYBODY sit down. Ive moved other peoples bags my damn self if I need the seat.

[Angus]

Agree, just edited.

All joking aside though, if that was me, and I really wanted to sit down, I would move the bags myself. Whilst calling the selfish bastard who had refused to move them in the first place some choice 4letter words :)

For the record - I also agree with you and others that the person in question should've also given up their seat, and I would happily [well, not happily, as I'd rather have no one sat next to me - but without any fuss] move my bags to let someone sit down.

If they have had the option to remove their belongings and refused to do so and cannot produce a legitimate ticket for the extra seat - in legal terms they have not a leg to stand on since the seat was not paid for by them and their belongings had no right to be there when a paying passenger, ie.ME had purchased it. The few times I have resorted to self help by lowering myself into the seat, the belongings have been whipped away in record time:D

[Twilight]

I would of bloody well made sure you moved them - and if necessary got the guard! You pay for the extra seat - or you move your bloody bags!

Well they didn't so ha! and its not like they didn't see. so if they had wanted to make me move them, they could have.

[WOMBAI]

Well they didn't so ha! and its not like they didn't see. so if they had wanted to make me move them, they could have.

You wait until you get pregnant, if you ever do with an attitude like that - you will soon change your tune! Karma will get you!

Of course - but you'd still have vandalised their possessions, and two wrongs don't make a right, do they?

And what would you do, for example, if there were two suitcases on top of each other on the seat? How would you sit down then?

And what about the small matter of vandalism to other people's personal possessions?

For the record - I also agree with you and others that the person in question should've also given up their seat, and I would happily [well, not happily, as I'd rather have no one sat next to me - but without any fuss] move my bags to let someone sit down.

Yeah, and I think the majority of people are decent enough to do the same, but there's always a few ignoramuses!

You wait until you get pregnant, if you ever do with an attitude like that - you will soon change your tune! Karma will get you!

Or not.

I wouldn't give a toss about "vandalising" their possessions - if I paid for a seat I would take it and certainly wouldn't be agonising over it. As regards the hypothetical suitcases, I would simply remove them then sit down as they have no business being on a seat I have paid for. I have had to do this on one occasion and was totally impervious to the abuse of the moron who had placed them there. THEY were in the wrong, not me. End of.
