We nEeD a LeSsOn In InITIATIvEnESS

It's a wonder we can't even give up a humble seat to the elderly, preggers or young children on a train and have to be nudged to do so.

I witnessed a train service assistant having to politely asked a lady to give up her seat on the train to a pregnant mummy.

Why are we so lacking in the most basic of mannerisms?
