Ringtones to alert others

Someone on the train chose a baby’s cries as a ring tone on her phone. Her phone rang which made everyone turned their attention to her, only to realise she’s pregnant. Someone then stood up to offer her a seat. She didn’t even thank him and seem to think it’s her right. And her crying baby kept on crying, which is very annoying, especially when I found out it’s a fake cry. Must be a bad day at home (because of the incessant phone messages). She must really like the cries, or like the attention. I wonder if she’s going to have the same attitude towards the real baby when he/she’s out.

Nevertheless, it has presented a good useful alert to others, and if you’re pregnant, your chances of getting a seat will probably be very high, unless someone is so kind enough to use other strategies, like the one suggested in this post.
