Notes & Links

A man asked Reddit users if he was justified in not giving up his seat to a pregnant woman. He did not get the answer he was looking for, instead he was told he was completely wrong. Fiorella agrees with the people of Reddit but she asks a different question.  There were people on the train that questioned they young man and tried to persuade him to give up his seat, and he politely refused. If they couldn’t persuade him to do the “right” thing, how come no one else offered this young mother their seat? Fiorella provides different reasons why should would and would not give up her seat to someone in need and she reveals the one person who sort of defended they young man on Reddit.  Listen to this episode of the Early Show for all the details and find out why Fiorella has a difficult time removing people from her contact lists and why you might years old documents on her computer.
