When I ride home, its almost always standing room only, and its sad how lots of older people clearly should be sitting, but loads of teenagers are taking up multiple seats and are oblivious.

Of course, at any given time, half of Jerusalem is pregnant, so I guess we're all used to it.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334874120386746124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326010555125554881.post-79475135540538642402011-03-17T22:58:44.764-07:002011-03-17T22:58:44.764-07:00Oy vey- I swear in Toronto this type of stuff didn...Oy vey- I swear in Toronto this type of stuff didn't happen when I used to ride the rocket-Ren- Lady Of The Artshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440340751455712080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326010555125554881.post-10085360364711134192011-03-17T22:28:26.913-07:002011-03-17T22:28:26.913-07:00That's the difference between you and me… I wo...That's the difference between you and me… I would have told someone to move for the disabled man AND the pregnant lady :)XLMIChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268964638359962511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326010555125554881.post-24508195686474558482011-03-17T22:11:51.135-07:002011-03-17T22:11:51.135-07:00That's all you can do....manners aren't au...That's all you can do....manners aren't automatically taught to kids anymore....just saying please and thank you aren't enough....<br /><br />It's the lessons of being aware of more than just yourself that are lacking....with ipods permanently attached to ears, texting, laptops, and handheld video games, we are sending the message that being "present" is doing nothing...<br /><br />...and so, as a society, we fill our idle minutes with stimulation, distraction and instant gratification....<br /><br />It is all so "Matrixy" to me....like we are all just wandering around in a computer program...believing it's our reality only because it is dotted with pain, dissatisfaction and fear...<br /><br />Sorry, I'm rambling...and a bit off topic, too :D<br />I have a memory that pops up now, during the 10 years I waited tables...this couple asked me how I learned to be so respectful and polite for someone so young. The first and only thing that came to mind....was, my parents...my parents instilled that in me. I remember the look on their faces...like it was the last answer they expected...then, the biggest smiles I had seen on them yet... They told me my parents would be proud to hear that...then left me a big tip :)<br /><br />I'm the one who was proud...for having them as parents!Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14435728791853628468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326010555125554881.post-51101887973491242752011-03-17T22:05:29.892-07:002011-03-17T22:05:29.892-07:00I hear you!
