1. Call me old-fashioned, but there are rules of chivalry that I believe should not go by the wayside. For example, if on a full bus with standing-room only for a 45-minute ride, do not let a lady be the one left standing. I'm young and healthy and perfectly capable of surfing a bus for just under an hour, but I was shocked that not a single gentleman emerged to offer me a seat. Very disappointing.
2. On an unrelated note (and a different bus ride), what is it with guys insisting on spreading open their legs as much as possible when seated, even though limited space would make the ride more comfortable for others if they would refrain from doing so? Does the need to project manhood and let the junk have room to breathe trump giving the lady in the next seat enough room to move? Get over yourself and get those knees closer together, please.
Men are so stupid sometimes. If you want to get my attention, try doing something considerate.

Bus behavior REALLY bothers me. Here in SF, I've often seen pregnant women left standing while young techie dudes sit and play on their iPads. I've actually tapped a few young men on the shoulder and asked them to please get up and let an elderly lady sit down. Come on!
