Hey, look, customers_suck wank! What a surprise!
[info]becka_mouse lays the smackdown on a pregnant EB. Immediately, the wank starts in comments over whether or not people on the bus should give up their seats for pregnant women.

Pretty small, but this is [info]customers_suck, so it will no doubt balloon to epic proportions.

EDIT: Trolls? In my otf_wank? It's more likely than you think.

Every time I hear somebody mouth off about how pregnant women don't deserve even basic courtesy, I have to wonder - do they realize their own mother was once that pregnant woman on the bus?

Becoming pregnant is not an occupational hazard or something that might go wrong, it's the end goal of their activities.

Because miscarraiges and birth defects are a myth...

Oh hell. Give the pregnant lady your seat, especially if she looks like she's far along. Those last six weeks or so can be a real bitch.

In other news, I've always liked standing on buses. It's like a workout, intensity depending on how insane the driver is.

Travelling on the tube when pregnant, I nearly always was offered a seat by the younger commuters, male and female (chivalry is not dead). I always took it, not because I was that tired (desk job – sat down all day) or in pain, but because there was more air around you when seated. Being pregnant reduces your lung capacity and being squished during the rush hour only made it worse.

Now if I’d known I could get free drinks as well…

And here was me thinking that free drinks were the cause of my pregnancy, not the result. Silly girl.

Seriously, I'm getting the vibe of "I'll tell everyone how I pwned a pregnant woman so they'll think I'm cool. Wait! They might get mad. I'll say I'm pregnant too. Nobody can get mad at a pregnant lady!" and the circle begins again.

I tried to type the above quote in IdiotNetSpeak, but it made my brain hurt.

Also, WTF is this with the spurious division between permanent and temporary disability? I have back and lower-limb problems now that screw with my balance, and won't ride on a bus if I can't sit, but I'm in better shape now, balance and mobility-wise, than I was from about 36 weeks on with both pregnancies. (offsppring now 18 and 20, so it's been a while).

A twelve-year-old with a broken leg is just as disabled as is an elderly woman with, say, severe osteoporesus. The point is whether you can stand up and balance on a moving surface today, not whether you'll be able to do it six weeks from now.

satanicmantis: And honestly, equating pregnancy with permanent disability, whatever the cause, is totally ridiculous and extremely offensive. The majority of pregnant women choose to be pregnant, and it lasts for 9 months only, unlike most disabilities which are permanent.

Yes! Which means she will only need a seat/help for nine months!

I'm about four months along. My first daughter, I was so fortunate to carry well (even if she was upside-down and sideways), and did not suffer much backpain, though the heartburn was a bitch. I was lucky -- I've seen some ladies out there who were obviously suffering, and if I were on a bus, I would have instantly offered them my space. It's just courtesy.

I ride the bus all the time and I have never seen any woman, visibly pregnant or otherwise get wanky about seats. If it is visible, several of us offer and she accepts or declines. I have seen men go off about it for 20 minutes, even when A) there were nearby available seats but they wanted the front one or whatever B) they had no visible impairments, which I realize doesn't mean they aren't in pain but then dude, don't get mad when everyone doesn't read your mind and automagically offer in the first five seconds and C) they received their seat of choice within the first few stanzas of their rant, then felt the need to continue on bitching.

The biggest related drama I have seen involving a female was: lady with baby in Snugli gets on the bus. About three of us, me included, offer seat, lady thanks us but politely declines. Bus driver probably couldn't see/hear these exchanges and picks up speaker thingy to say he's not going anywhere until that lady gets a seat and imply we are all huge assholes for not offering. Maybe it's a liability issue, I dunno. Anyway, like 20 people jump out of their seat and the lady is totally embarrassed and takes one, thanking everyone profusely.

Which leads me to this comment.

And how do you know that a pergnant woman doesn't have some sort of problem that isn't visible?

How do you know anyone doesn't?

I'm the biggest bus seat hog you'll meet. Move for little kids? Forget about it. Old people? Depends how sturdy granny looks. But I'll move for a pregnant lady. Mostly because I remember the blimp that was my mother when she was pregnant with my little sister and how she could barely stand for a few minutes without having to sit down because of back pain.

I got too much of a kick out of bus surfer to care about seats. Even if the bus was empty I'd stand if it was only going to be a short trip.

The only times I ever sat at the front was after a long day and all the other seats were filled because so many other students were trying to get home and if I was going someplace new so I could see out the front window to know when to get off.

Plenty of people are disabled through their own choice - usually accidents while doing something risky.

Yeah, no. But I will agree Alan Rickman's so hot that it should be qualified as a disability.

christ... stupidity and selfishness... what a revolting combination...

how do people like that actually live?

what the hell is so hard to give up your seat for a pregnant woman? how much of a dickhead do you have to be? how much of an arsehole do you have to be to do it and actually think you're all rad and cool or whatever.

you know, struggling around with that extra weight and all the potential physical side effects of pregnancy ... it's got to be really fucking frustrating to get on a bus and everyone just pretend they can't see you... I'd get pretty pissed off too.

a pregnant friend of mine had that experience once... not that she complained... a little old lady did that on her behalf and gave up her seat for her... and then told everyone on the bus off...

In San Francisco, the buses all have these nifty ads that remind people to give up their seats for elderly and disabled folks. I'm kind of wishing right now that they had an ad for pregnant women, too, because the wankstorm that would likely ensure on cf_hardcore would be beautiful.
