Well, except for me. It makes it even worse when the conflict was already "resolved", then you realize nothing can change what was said and done. And going back would either be too hard or too risky or just impossible.
I don't know. Don't like expressing those sorts of things in public. Helps for me to get it out somehow.


I have the same exact experience as you do.

Just makes me feel like I'm an edgy high school kid again. lol. I never like that. But I guess some things don't change exactly.

I wonder if it's a manifestation of anxiety or plain over-analysis, or the interrelation between those two factors. Maybe the desire for winning debates is just a symptom of NSG-PTSD. So many snarky people all over this board cussing and smarting off everywhere!

I think the thing I'll miss most about pregnancy is all the attractive young men with the unfortunate but very convenient white knight syndromes tripping over themselves to give me a seat on crowded metro carriages.

And it being socially acceptable for me to manspread like there's no tomorrow.

That's entirely likely. But as for the second one, I was kind of always one to hold a grudge. or a dormant one anyway.

NSG and the internet in general has kind of made me even more pissed off all the time. But I like too much of it to get away, I guess.

It's true, it's true. I headbutted that high school drama queen who was spreading rumours about while I was in Rwanda. I'm classy like that.

It's deliciously territorial. I have claimed this space in the name of proper blood flow to my crotch.

But I don't fit in the cars... I want to take up all the seats.

Besides, if you put me on the track and have the train tow me, people will think it's an invitation to ride on me. People have no manners. It's very rude sitting on other people that you don't even know. >:(

I go by the standard social hierarchy when deciding who's worthy of a seat.

- Physically disabled
- Elderly
-Pregnant women
- Children
- person with pram
- women
- men

Personally, I shift pregnant women above elderly, and I throw "anyone with bags or luggage" above women and men generally. Those two are space concerns - I didn't go through primary school in Singapore for nothing. And, being an egalitarian fella, I offer my seat to women and men alike.

Hey. Hey. You wait until all relative priority groups have gotten seats before offering them to men. Titanic rules, you bloody anarchist.
