I think next time I will just sit in the back. Or if I see the woman again I'll just punch in her the face - give her a little of the ol' pre-Women's Lib male-female interaction.

Most of the time when I offer, they just refuse. <br /> By the way, the clock should be fixed, I mean, It said I was on mnspeak at 03:12am! Normally I just stand unless there are free seats.

Ever since then I don't offer because she got me thinking..if you do need a seat then you will ask and I personally would oblige. I mean if you are asking me for the seat there must be a reason. <br /> <br /> The reason i don't sit next to the window is because perhaps I am about to get off in a few stops. If you want the seat next to me just ask. I will move. <br /> <br /> I ususally try to avoid all these issues by sitting in the back and next to the window. <br /> <br /> Yeah I offered my seat once to a lady and she said she was an independent woman and if she needed a seat she would ask for one.
