I make it a habit to always check the seat on public transit before I sit. While I may not be able to know who sit where and when I can certainly see if a seat is dirty.
This morning I boarded the bus from the subway station. It was not so crowded as a bus had just left the platform. As I navigated my way in the bus I quickly scanned the seat for debries, wet spots, stains and soils that may possibly transfer unto my clothing and skin. I turned to my left with the intent to sit when my inner voice prompted me, 'check the seat before you sit down.' I checked and sure enough there was a rust red stain. It did not look hygienic, in fact it looked like mensuration blood. The shaped was elongated and the stain was center mass. I grimaced and quickly chose a seat on the opposite side that appeared clean.
As I looked on I noticed a woman going toward the seat, just as I was about to warn her, she sat down without checking. 'Its a wrap' I thought, no words of warning can undo what has been done when she simply sat.
