Can't MEN be TRUSTED????

For those who travel long distances/overnight by bus especially those operated by Private companies would understand what I'm gettin at and the rest, you will too get an idea what I'm gettin at!!!

Here I'm as always headed for the bus station to attend yet another weddin over the weekend and when I board the bus I see that there is a young lady sittin next to me. For a start ist surprises me coz usually the travel agent ensure he provides LADIES SEAT only for women, well I decided that I would be decent and ensure I would not even trouble the lady for the hand rest and keep my distance.

Well, the bus is yet to start and I see that the lady is still seated there, I decided to step out and wait for the bus to start and then there is this usual Boarding pass which is issued once you board the bus, no idea why they bother.. guess for accounting purpose ;-)!!!

Gettin to the point, it so happens that once the guy walked in to issue the boardin pass, the lady requested for the inevitable..."LADIES SEAT Please" and I was like tellin ofcourse "Hell lady, even if you pay me I wouldn't dare touch ya" well, works against my consciousness but hell she wanted to change her seat!!! Well thatz when I decided, if she is plannin to move then I ain't movin from my seat and decided I can be chivalrous to a certain extent, but hell you can't treat me as "touch me not" or rather in this case "sit near me not"!!! The guy went about issuin the boarding pass and then came the time for the bus to leave and our man conveniently asked me to move my butt!!! Hell was I gonna do that.. I told him, sorry ask someone else to move.. I ain't movin.. Why would I want to????? Guess I needed to say that to massage my ego :D

Well, the lady has no choice, if she needs a change of seat, she bloody well move her butt and not mine!!!! I'm definitely glad that the trains and government buses don't give that option of LADIES SEAT, otherwise we would have to dedicate one train for them and the latest I've heard is that Mumbai has already introduced a LADIES ONLY local!!! In fact even Namma Bengalooru had these pink color buses which were LADIES SPECIAL, guess they had to scrap it coz I don't see them around any more!!!

Well I understand that all Men aren't trustworthy, but it ain't FAIR to generalize!!! Anyways sure I'm gonna have lots of bricks thrown over me on this topic but hell I still feel it Ain't FAIR!!! Probably I should start MEN's SEAT plz CAMPAIGN;-)
