They are also a reflection of their friends, and their surroundings. Lets not pretend we are the same people as teenagers as we are as adults. Sure some are, but for the most part people grow out of at least some of that. I know when I was younger I had my moments of trying to be "slick" talkin all kinds of nonsense that I didn't mean. Then I grew the hell upOriginally Posted by Fanatic15

It is probably the same type of men that just randomly will open the door for you when walking into a shopping mall. They are definitely not forced or have to do it, but they do it just because they are gentlemen. But, I think men should do it for women who are pregnant, disabled, old, etc. and who do deserve priority seating.Originally Posted by Hazeleyed Honey

a.) old

d.) I feel sorry for some other reason
e.) I'm getting off in >4 stops
Why are we talking about TEENAGED girls?
Because teenagers are reflections of their own uprbinging and the society they live in. If a teenager feels entitled to something that means their parents/guardians are instilling this sort of behavior.
Society breeds these values into women. Just like society breeds certain values into men.
Friends and setting fall under the society category I was referring. Yes you're right people change however...
There are teenagers that wouldn't have felt entitled to a seat like the two OP is referring to. They may one day mature and lose that sense of self-entitlement but that doesn't change the fact that women (and men) in contemporary American society generally have certain values instilled in them.
People don't change unless they find an education or have some REAL sobering life experiences. A lot of people remain childlike in the head, since most people don't pursue an education they unfortunately have to learn the hard way.
No argument from me there... Totally agree.
If these girls were like 30 I would have wanted to smack em in the mouth

1. She has to be MY girl, family, friend, pregnant, disabled, or elderly.
I'll hold a door open for anyone though, other than that she can go (#*@ herself.
Too easy. I will leave this one aloneOriginally Posted by P MAC ONE
This is kind of a specific example for myself, but my mother raised me to give up any seat for any woman. My mom passed away almost a year ago, and at her memorial service I gave a speech encouraging everyone there to honor her by treating every woman like their mother. I plan to carry that with me til I see her again, and hope to impart that on anyone willing to listen.

Why should he at least offer? If you and the man are the same age he SHOULD offer? Why should he?Originally Posted by mostofthetime
In my opinion, I think that if I'm standing there a guy should AT LEAST offer his seat. I thought it was common courtesy and didn't know that I considered myself "entitled".

Awkward Scenario #153: I am approaching a glass double door that pulls on my side. On the other side of the door is a lady approaching the door. I pull open the door for the lady to pass through first, but at the same time the lady pushes open the other door and moseys on through. I'm left awkwardly holding the door.
