I'm all for giving my seat up on the bus for an old person when the bus is crowded, however, i do not think they have a right to demand that you give up the seat for them. Yesterday I was travelling to college on a full bus. I should have known really, as it was 9:30 and that's when the old people can get on the bus for free with their pass. I got on and it was packed full of oldies and several people were stood up, meaning i was likely to get squished too. I was stood up and clinging to the pole for dear life as arragant shoppers marched on the bus, flashing their 9:30-free pass at the driver moaning about 'the buses these days..' wait, um, aren't you part of that problem? Anyway, I was stood up and a person sat opposite me was sat down listening to his ipod when a rather rude old lady barged on the bus and said 'excuse me young man, will you please stand up. I am an old lady. I require your seat'. How very dare she. I tell you, she did dare! The boy couldn't hear due to his music and the lady had to repeat herself, much to her annoyance. The boy willingly gave up his seat and she took his place without a thankyou, chunnering something about 'the youth of today'.
You see why I get so annoyed? Besides, it's not like she even paid for that seat anyway.
Yes my friends, I went there.
I rest my case.
