Scams and Transportation: Sucks to suck

Sucks to suck

By Anonymous - 14/08/2009 04:35 - Australia

Today, I was on the bus, when an elderly woman stepped in. She looked too weak to stand. She looked at me with sad puppy eyes, expecting me to give up my seat for her. I felt sorry and got up. As soon as she sat down, she said, "Ha! Sucker!" FML

Today, a sweet old lady gave up her seat for me in the bus. She lectured the entire bus that seats should be given to those in need, like myself who is "heavily pregnant." I'm just fat. FML

Today, I said thanks to a man who got up for me in the bus. He angrily said "no, not you!". The old lady who sat down is now staring at me. FML

Today, a pretty girl joined the line at the bus station. I let her skip the line and go before me so I could sit next to her. After she bought her ticket, I realized there were no more seats left on that bus. I was told to get off, and had to take the next bus, sitting next to a snoring old man. FML

You tried

Today, I offered my seat to an elderly lady on the subway. She quietly refused. Minutes later on a sharp turn, she almost fell down on two people. As I was clearly the youngest in the disability seating section, everyone on the train turned and glared at me. FML

Today, a lady on the bus came up to me and asked if she could sit down. Thinking she meant the seat next to me, I said sure. She meant my lap. FML

Today, I took the bus. The old lady next to me almost fell when the driver stopped, but I managed to catch her. Five minutes later, the same thing happened to me. The old lady tried to help me, but I lost my balance and pulled her skirt down. FML

Broke

By candidcripple - 30/12/2013 05:57 - United States

Today, while sitting in a handicapped seat on the bus, an old man angrily approached me and chewed me out in front of everyone for not leaving the seat empty for "those who actually need it." Then he stormed off the bus, stepping heavily on my broken foot. FML

Today, I took the bus to work. A sweet old lady got on after and sat next to me. Halfway there, she fell asleep, her head on my shoulder. I gently tried to wake her up before my stop. She wasn't sleeping. I let a dead woman lie on me for 30 minutes. FML

Today, I was on the bus and a woman got on with her 3 young children. I offered her my seat so they could all sit together. When I went to get off the bus, I realized I'd left my bag underneath my old seat. When I tried to get it back the woman hit me and yelled at me for trying to steal her purse. FML

Today, I was sitting on the bus to the gym. I saw that an old woman needed help to get off the bus, so I got up, and helped her off. When I had finally got her down the stairs the bus closed the doors and drove away. I was in the middle of nowhere and the bus drove away with all my things. FML

I want to be just like that old lady when I grow up! And YDI for not getting up in the first place - don't they teach you anything in school anymore *sigh* kids these days. ... wanders off muttering and making plans to have a cane when she's old so she can beat young whippersnappers who don't offer seats straight away.

Not a FML. You should have given her your seat anyway. It's called common courtesy. As for the old lady... she rocks.

To you and everyone else saying that it's 'common courtesy': Yes, it is socially expected to give your seat up for the elderly and/or disabled. However, the old woman didn't have to be a complete bitch about it. Honestly, everyone talks about how youth needs to respect the elderly and shit, when they certainly don't respect us, as it's proven in this scenario and many others I've witnessed before. OP: FYL, sorry that the old lady was a bitch.

The whole concept of a social hierarchy based on age is outmoded and useless anyway. Just because a jerk gets older doesn't make them special; however, it does make take them closer to extinction. I can't believe you suckers are saying YDI when you probably wouldn't really stand up anyway. I would stand up if I thought they needed the seat more than me, but if you feel obligated to, you've been duped.

I really don't think an old woman would use the term 'sucker', especially an Australian elderly. Sucker is very American.

My mum's an "old lady" and she would definitely say that. They don't make old people like they used to, that's for sure.

Of course! They come from the Old People shop, they arrive complete with a floral dress/high trousers, long winded stories about walking 100miles in the snow to get anywhere and all have that special "old people" smell. I believe the stork brings them.
