"these seats are for the handicapped, these seats are for the people, mothers with children, and no one else may ever sit there"

And I got on the subway and started watching her, and she'd just yell at people

She'd say, "You can't sit there!" and stuff, and the people would jump up and move, and stuff

But I'm pretty much of a realist and know that I can say that but, that doesn't mean it'll happen
