Give Up Your Seat for the needy!

How do you know who to give your seat to on the MRT ?

The loose guideline is what’s printed on signs: “Please offer this seat to someone who needs it more than you do.”

We know that “someone who needs it more than you do” typically refers to the elderly, the pregnant and the handicapped.

But why are people giving up their seat to me??? I'm not even pregnant!!! I know there is no fixed rule and we’re supposed to make intuitive judgement calls case by case.

I encountered this case mutiple times. I have been mistaken a couple of times for being pregnant on the MRT : Someone had offered his seat to ME! I glared at him and said, “I’m not pregnant!”. I'm just happens to have a very large belly. Yes, I feel offended. You caused so much embarrassment for ME when you offer your seat to ME, wrong person! So sickening!

Please STOP eyeing@@ at my large belly!!!
