The innocent shame of it...
I hate travelling by tube (like most sane people)and this is one of the reasons why...

I was in a rush, it was hot summer, and no seats. The tube was packed, and I didn't really have my wits about me I just wanted to get home. A guy gets up in front of me halfway between stations and I think 'Whopee, I've won the seat lottery' and immediately sit in his seat.

Suddenly the atmosphere in the carriage darkens and I realise I have everyone's eyes on me, and I spot the reason why - a heavily pregnant woman directly in front of me that the guy had got up to give his seat too.

I leap out of the seat like it's electrified, but the opprobrium lasts with me the remainder of the journey.

First post!
