Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Not all handicaps are visible. I know someone, quite young (mid-30s) and very healthy-looking. But she has a bad tension: if she stays standing for too long, it's very uncomfortable and she may even faint. Older people feel entitled to take her seat and don't understand when she refuse.

If someone is taking a spot I'm going to default with the assumption that they need it for some reason. It's an honor code and you hope most using the spaces aren't abusing the privilege.

Cool, yet a shitton of other people will give you bad looks. Once two grandmas were sitting behind me and loudly shittalking about the "ungrateful young people not giving their spot".

When people do that just start shit talking about old cunts who don’t mind their business. Casually mention an ad for coffins you saw in the paper this morning to really get them going.

I openly told them I had issues and to fuck off. Then they started going off about "rude youth". I was like 25 at the time

You literally can’t win with boomer Karens.

They don’t even recognize the hypocrisy involved in being a nosy, self-centered prick, and whining about other people being rude.

“Wow, you must be so ashamed of yourself for behaving like that, how embarrassing!”(said with over-the-too mock concern) works well for that sort of person.
