Wednesday, January 5th, 2011 - Chivalry is not dead!

Today the most astounding thing happened on the subway ride home: a guy offered me his seat! He literally got up and stood for several additional stops and asked that I take his seat. (And no, I'm not a pregnant woman, disabled or elderly - people for whom everyone should give up a seat at any time.) The funny thing was that I didn't really want to sit down but since he got up I felt like I had to. But the point was made: chivalry is not completely dead in New York!
