<\/a>shoes might be dirty and then that dirt would get onto the next person\u2019s clothes. Yet\u2026 people still do it.<\/p>\nWe also know that we should give up our seat if there is an elderly person, a preggy lady or even somebody who has small children who does not have a seat of their own. Even if we are tired and don\u2019t feel like it \u2013 it\u2019s the kind thing to do.<\/p>\n
Some types of public transport have designated seats for the elderly or the disabled \u2013 these seats should be out of bounds for normal travelers, but sadly, people don\u2019t care and they sit in those places anyway. They even have the cheek to be rude if they are asked to move.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the same for parking places in malls, shopping centres and other public spaces that are allocated for handicapped people. They are usually wider than usual parking places to allow for wheelchairs to be loaded on and off the roof of the car. Usually they are also close to the entrances.\u00a0 This does definitely not<\/em> mean that somebody can park their big fat bakkie in that space to run into the shop quickly.<\/p>\n There are also spots in some shopping centres for Moms with tots. People sometimes consider that these folk are getting special treatment, but this isn\u2019t the case. It\u2019s not easy humping a pushchair in and out of the car whilst managing small children \u2013 let alone having to look for parking in some out-of-the-way spot. It just makes it easier for them to shop at that particular centre \u2013 that\u2019s all.<\/p>\n But what\u2019s really rude is to have a loud conversation on your cell phone whilst using public transport. Nobody wants to have to hear what you are ordering for supper, or what happened to you last night, or even what business deal you are doing. It\u2019s even worse if you have to listen to somebody having a fight on the phone.<\/p>\n Please people! Let\u2019s all try be a bit more considerate in future.<\/p>\n Sibo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Every now and then we all have to use public transport.
