Pregnant Olivia Wilde Blasts Subway Riders for not Giving up Seats
New York Post ^ | September 14, 2016 | Lindsey Kupfer

Don’t mess with pregnant Olivia Wilde.

“NBD, able-bodied 🚇 [train] riders who won’t give your seat to a GIANT preggo,” she sarcastically tweeted on Wednesday. “I’ll just stand riiiiight next to your head and pray I go into labor.”

Cherish your liberation.

That said, of course I would yield my seat.

Yes, I have learned the hard way that “when are you due?” is a very dangerous question to ask without foreknowledge!

I was not there with her but my wife enjoys telling this story.

When we moved to Belgium my wife was pregnant with twins and for the first few months there we didn't have a car. We relied on public transportation, especially the street trams. So one day, late in her pregnancy, she got on board a crowded tram with our four year old son in tow, looking for all the world like a giant balloon about to burst. The driver noticed her having to stand, stopped the tram in mid track, got up, went back and gave a young guy seated where my wife and son were standing the verbal equivalent of a tire iron beating. He sheepishly got up and gave the seat to my wife, sneaking off the tram at the very next stop. There was then a round of applause for the driver from the rest of the riders.

She played the heroine in “Cowboys and Aliens.” A very good movie.

Never seen it. Probably never will. But I wouldn’t mind seeing more of her...

I had the exact same thing happen here.. I stood up for a pregnant woman, and some jerk immediately pushed her aside and sat in that place (but he was about 25yo, or so).. I grabbed his shirt sleeve and pulled him back up and said the seat was for the lady. Thankfully, that happened here in Japan, and he scuttled off in embarrassment.

Wilde is a major libtard big mouth

Her uncle was Alexander Cockburn (RIP). I was an avid reader of the WSJ for a number of years, and they had him as an ed page contributor for a while.

He was completely stuck on stupid. He had to be on the other, crazy side of anything and everything. Even if he was on the correct side of an issue, it was for the wrong reason(s), being able to find "just comeuppance" in being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

He'd probably chastise Wilde for associating with the hoi polloi on the subway.

In New York, rich celebrities take cabs or limos.

There’s no need for her to take the subway.

“She did describe herself as a “giant preggo.” But maybe she just feels giant and doesn’t really look that big.:

Wilde is skinny and probably does feel “huge” now that she's pregnant. However, I have skinny friends who really still looked skinny even when they were eight months pregnant and wearing clothes that (understandably) were loose around the middle.

“I am obese to the point I look preggers. Others think I am preggers and I am embarrassed. Perhaps I should take better care of myself.”

Well, in fairness, the unpregnant chubby women just looked hurt and embarrassed when I offered them seats; it's not as if they told me off or anything.

“Excuse me but what if a man is pregnant?”

Don’t even know how to respond to that one!
