I got a new job somewhere at the end of the last century. We were taken by bus to the company, our drive was a little more than half an hour.



And then I began to pay attention to some weirdness - when boarding the bus, the men broke the doors and took seats. They occupied them, and then gave them to women, including at the next stops.



It turned out that at the first stop there were almost one man, and when the bus approached the landing place, the ratio of Em and Joe was about 50 to 50.

(The ratio of men and women in the company was approximately 9 to one.)



And the strange thing was here - some ladies were driving standing from the first stop to the last, and others sat down immediately.

At first I decided that the seats would give way to the aunts from their shop, no! They could have caught a stranger. Age did not play a role. The pre-retirement lady stood, and the young woman sat. The same goes for the return route.



After a few days, I was completely confused and asked our men straight - why are some standing and others sitting? And I was explained.



Everything turned out to be absolutely logical - they are sitting at the office, and they are standing at the office. Why give up a place to a man who will sit at work all day and nothing heavier than papers in his hands? Here it turned out - there are ladies from the office, including pre-retirement grandmothers, whose working tool is a computer and a handle, and there are girls who work with a spade and a hook-key, those who may not be able to sit for a shift.

This is class antagonism in a separate bus.
