Do other people have this same experience getting trains during peak times. As Irish people we are considered to be incredibly friendly and polite in our nature which is generally true but I’m seeing such a lack of basic human respect on public transport. If I’m on a train and a big crowd gets on more often than not if I see elderly people left standing I’m not seeing anyone lift an eye or an arse cheek to get up and let them sit down. I get the train to and from college every week so as a regular commuter these aren’t just isolated incidents. Everyone is so buried in their phones that they act like they’re immune to the people around them. If Im sitting in a priority seat at the front I get up the second I see the train will be busy, and if im in a regular seat and there’s an elderly/pregnant/disabled person getting on I give them my seat. This doesn’t make me some kind of hero this is just what I believe to be the bog standard level of consideration we should have for each other. Of course hidden disabilities exist but it can’t be all 100 people in the carriage. Dont get me started on people who hog two seats for their precious bag to have its own throne.

Has anyone else noticed the decline of the app since it’s gotten more popular? When it first became available in Ireland it was just regular sellers just clearing out their wardrobes and I feel like it was quite easy to find bargains and also trust that listings were genuine. Now the amount of ai I’m seeing used in listings is concerning and lowkey should be banned anyways cause how is it an accurate picture of the condition of the product if it’s ai enhanced ? Also the amounnttt of accounts of shein outfits only worn once (mostly concert/ festival outfits some people will sell the entire thing boots and accessories included). I get that these are mostly teenage girls who are doing the cycle of buy cheap shein outfit-wear once-gain money back by selling it-buy another cheap shein outfit and they can avoid the horror of outfit repeating. Not trying to shame them we all know the pressures of staying on top of trends at that age but the speed that trends change at these days is insane and my main point is that this practice is just completely opposite of the whole slow fashion concept behind these platforms. I know you can filter out shein as a brand but that doesn’t mean people aren’t just still listing it as “cute top” instead. I got a pair of pants recently listed as reclaimed vintage that were actually musera (ie shein)! Weird behaviour when it’s so clearly written on the tags.
