Sometimes there are stupid rules. We all know of rules/laws that are utterly nonsensical yet exist, and we all ignore them. Common sense.

IMO sitting in the exit at 7 months pregnant is quite selfish and stupid. As are obese people, old people, and other people who clearly could not lift that door.
