Bloody disgraceful

After a long busy day at work the last thing I want to do is stand up all the way home on the bus, especially when some woman has a seat for her and a seat for her 2 year old daughter.  What happened to common decency and a bit of respect for other people? the child gets on the bus for free and has a whole seat for her tiny little bottom,  I don't think so.  To be honest I did not see the child at first I just saw an empty window seat and waved at the woman to move over and it was only as  I was walking up the bus to the "space" that I saw the child, my jaw dropped in disbelief. it is 5 O'clock in the evening, hundreds of working folks are going home on public transport after a hard day grafting and this woman has got her toddler a whole seat to herself.  The woman looked down at the child and started talking in foreign tongues to her daughter and the child is talking back in a whinging whining voice and after two yes two stops the child agreed to sit on its mother's knee so I could sit down.  Unbelievable it beggars belief.  Then when I sat down I actually said "thank you" to the child and to it's mother.  

When did become unfashionable to have good manners?
