If you are expecting some gratitude of thanks from helping others, you better dun help. Help expect no return. In giving a seat, you credit yourself a good deed, internally you feel happy without remorse. Whether others acknowledge or not, is another matter. Be logic.Originally posted by forumer84:Anyone encounter giving up their seats to pregnant lady on the train and not even an acknowledgment or word of thx was said?
when i give up my seat to senior citizen, at least they will acknowledge or thank you, heck some even reject the offer nicely. But pregnant lady,and mind you these r educated, working class women,they seem to take it for granted that pple MUST give up their seats to them.
Y like dat ah?
On the other hand, they never ask you for the seat nor do you need to grant them a seat, it is your social well being and good brought up that give way to the needed. Praise to your parents and the education of social responsibility. -

hmm, i will feel taken for granted if that happens. but i guess its doing a good deed la.
usually i smile then nod to them, then give up my seat, usually they'd thank me wan leh.
if they did thank me, i'd feel warm and fuzzy inside, if they nv thank me, then i will sian lor hahahhaa.
but sometimes oso depend my mood and situation. like if the bus is really really really packed. and i see an old man board the bus. he's at the door, i'm at the first seat, its very hard to give up my seat since he have to squeeze in all the way, and i was really exhausted and was sleeping in the bus. so never give up my seat lor. -

They look like they are saying "Bloody hell, why you take my seat?" even when I immediately give up my seat to them.
I am not being racially bias, but ang moh char bo will say "Thank you" sweetly. Its a plesure giving up seats to them. -
hmm, ang mo adults are very gracious and polite people. its the ang mo kids who're total screw-ups.

maybe it's time to bring back the singa lion?
a part of me believes that with graciousness comes courtesy. i do get irritated if i give up my seat and not a word of thank you. cos those people think that i'm obligated to make such a gesture. -
i take mrt frm tamp to boon lay 5 days/week.
towards boon lay, by bedok, i'd be asleep.
towarads tamp, by commonwealth, i'd be asleep.
but got one time i saw this woman, dono whether she is fat or she is pregnant.
i thought wanna ask her, "harloe, is you pregnant or is you fat? if you is pregnant, you can take my seat. if you is fat, stand and burn them."
but i thought better not and just continued being seated. -
Giving up your seat to those in need is already more than a word of thank you to yourself so if people are shy to say thank you or just down right ungrateful ok wat!Originally posted by jedditte:maybe it's time to bring back the singa lion?

I dont give up seats expecting them to bow or thank me as if im their saviour or wat.But thats not the problem. The problem is this is BASIC MANNERS.Imagine this: If there was no notice on the MRT telling pple to give up seats to pregnant women and yet pple do it, im sure they will appreciate the gesture. But because of this notice or "law" as they may see it, they take it for granted someone must give up their seat to them no matter what.Originally posted by angel7030:If you are expecting some gratitude of thanks from helping others, you better dun help.

Your saying this is like saying as long as you cross the road only when the green man appears, you have the absolute right of way and all vehicles surely will come to a stop. Hence when green man appear, you can even close one eye and cross the road. You have played your part as a model pedestrian and hence you shouldnt get into any accidents. Be logical.
On the other hand, they never ask you for the seat nor do you need to grant them a seat, it is your social well being and good brought up that give way to the needed. Praise to your parents and the education of social responsibility.
This is the wrong mentality that im trying to address. -
normally when i'm giving a seat, i will give a pathetic brood smile and ursher tat particular person to take my seat.
and tat person will confirm always return a smile, nod head and say ty ma.
must be you never smile den the pregnant lady think u buay song give up seat. -
singaporeans are full of attitudes. Cant be helped. Educated pple have more attitude problems.

Im sure nobody has experienced something like this.....
Several years ago, when I was still young..... (now abit old)...
I was sitting happily in the MRT......ok not happily lah...actually blank mind, as usual....
A young woman suddenly asked me....Can you give up your seat for this granny.....while pointing to an old woman....
I was surprised....then I stood up....reflex....
They said thanks to me.
The young woman is unrelated to the old woman I believe. Not family or friend.
But in my heart I was thinking....haiii....why me leh...so many people nearby but why arrow me......do I look too handsome or what...too strong or what...

sometimes i bery paiseh in giving up seat, cos, a lot of people will look at me.,
there once, a crowded mrt, i and my frend got seat ..then after 2 stop, my frend saw 2 auntie, old lady.. each from corner side, because we are sitting in the middle, and she keep looking at them and so on...wanting to give the seat.... actually i dont know about it, as i keep talking ...
then my frend say , want give seat to the old lady on my right..? so i turn my head... and saw, the old lady so happily talking, and somemore is block by a few people standing up, and i ask my frend, how you want to give seat to her. but in the end the lady rejected when eye to eye contact last to my frend. then the other old auntie, my frend say to her...wanna seat. the auntie suddenly say out loud . No thanks. Thanks gals, you are so manners...blablabla, making the whole mrt people see us.
me innoccent party, cos i bo say give up my seat . haha. then my frend side got a empty seat after few stop, and the lady sit over, and still saying, you 2 are good...carrying a lot of things and still want to give up the seat....heheheee -
my opinion on this matter is. i give up my seat to you. is because my conscience aches when i see u a big tummy lady standing up. whether u say thanks or not. i dun care. coz i juz wan 2 relieve the ache i get from my conscience thats all.

Well, welcome to singapore, that is the culture breeded by our society, like it or not, we are to be blame, but then, we take it as per normal, remember all this ladies are singaporean's wife, sister, daughter, mother, nieces and so forth or one of your relatives. It the way we live, you want gracious society, go japan or maybe some part of europe, but within those gracious society hide the most notorious crime, sins and discrimination.Originally posted by forumer84:I dont give up seats expecting them to bow or thank me as if im their saviour or wat.But thats not the problem.

The sign board is not the law, it just a sign asking for appreciation and understanding, a law must consitute with a punishment, just like littering fine $500. So, if you dun give up that seat, are you going to be fine or jail??
Again if you want to give up the seat, it is up to you, whether the other person wanted to say thanks or not is not the issue. The issue is you have a kind heart and you know within yourself and others around there may have silently admired and appreciated your good deed.
So, if you find that most never said thank you to you, are you going to stop doing your good deed? It is not that i yet to met such incident, many a times i give seat to the less able ones and end up they dun even want to seat result in some other people taking the seat. Isn't that more frustrating, but i know that i have done my part, that's all.
