I am on a Queens-bound E train last Monday, going home after work. My feet are tired because my job requires that I stand outside a comedy club, trying to bring in tourists and disinterested New Yorkers. The train stops at 5th Avenue and a bunch of people enter. They have to stand because the rest of us are taking up the seats. I see that, in front of me, one of the standing passengers is an older woman carrying heavy bags. In an effort to do a good deed, I get up and stand near a pole. It made me feel like a decent citizen. That is, until some guy in sunglasses licks his lips and slides into the seat before the woman ever has a chance.

Well, I thought, I tried.

Right?
