Do you ever wonder how many times you've sat in the exact seat you're sitting on in a tram? Or who else of note may have sat where you are? Shoutout to the 11 up Collins because it doesn't get as much recognition as the trendy tram lines.
Also yes I'm on the tram ding ding!
For the sake of my own sanity, I don't wonder about anything on PT. I just want to get to where I'm going.
Same. I once saw this old man piss himself. It was really sad actually. Ever since I really don't think about what's on the seats.
It is sad, isn't it? My younger self would laugh at such a situation, but now I'd probably try and assist in some way.
I had no idea what to do. I didn't want to embarrass him by making a scene and he seemed kinda determined to ignore it. What is something you would do in this situation?
Probably something along the lines 'Hey mate, do you need a bit of help? I can help you find a toilet or call someone perhaps?' Very quietly of course. And depends on his behaviour too of course. If he seems coherent then definitely, if it's someone that might having a bit of an episode, I have no idea. Not trained or experienced to deal with such situations unfortunatley.
incontinence is the number one reason old people get put in homes 😔
Seeing an article about Petri dishes on a UK subway (a long time ago) was enough for me.
I do think how many arses, feet, shopping bags and god knows what else has been on the seat that I'm sitting on with my nice clean clothes.
Yeah any clothes I wear on public transport immediately go in the washing basket when I get home. I’m not sitting on my couch/chairs etc with my germy tram or train clothes.
Don't forget full nappies
I was thinking more "I have a runny nose. I don't have a tissue. No worries, I'll just wipe my snot on this seat. No one will see me". 🤮
It kind of reminds that you still see STA seat covers on Melbourne buses, even though the NSW government privatised the STA a few years back.
Mainly because when they privatised it, they also gave away a lot of their excess bus seat fabric for peanuts.
