Things that make me wonder.............................

1. Went to the movies on Saturday night, saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall (HILARIOUS) - anyway, annoying woman behind me provided commentary the entire movie and laughed so freaking loud, I think the entire movie theater heard her. Makes me wonder - why are people so inconsiderate?

2. Train was packed this morning - how come men don't give their seats up anymore to women? Has chivarly died?

3. Why do most women carry so many freaking bags with them? I carry a small tote purse, a Vera Bradley that is very cute actually. Crowded train + 3 totes = not a good idea.

4. Abuse of our welfare system annoys me - I know a girl I used to work with at the vet hospital that can't get Wick checks (I think that's what their called) to help assist her with her baby. She said everytime she goes to the office, the receipents don't speak English and are taking the aid away from her that she desperately needs. I would think a U.S. Citizen, tax paying single mom should have priority over illegal aliens. Right? yeah - not so much.

Ooooh... this chivalry/seats thing is a little touchy. I've given up my seat to women and children situationally, but not on a regular basis, and especially not if I have a long Metro ride on a crowded train. I'm not sure I'd consider it fair to expect every guy to give up his seat to a woman, no questions asked.

ummm...i saw a very pregnant woman standing on a not so crowded train this morning. if i had been seated, i would've given her my seat. she stood for about 5 stops before someone offered her a seat. chivalry is dead on the orange line
