gah thats happened to me. I was sitting at the front of the bus since i had a lot of shopping and the front seats have the space to store it. This old woman (with no stick or trouble walking may i add) looked at me sitting there with two empty seats behind me and stood there and huffed and puffed. I refused to move and she sat behind me. I have always been curteous on the train or bus but sometimes my needs trump others like needing to sit next to the buggy bay but the old women wont move to accomodate you then even when the rest of the bus is practically empty. If the other seat was the window seat then you should have scooted across OP if not then its her fault for not going to the other empty seat.

then just move over damn

why don't u just scoot over for her? ur so selfish

Was she fat???

I think there maybe more to this story

This is why we dump them in retirement homes.

Why couldn't the old lady take the empty seat? Why should the OP have to move? The old lady and the train operator are idiots, as are all of you that blame the OP.

FYL, Australia's public transportation sucks, here in Portugal you can't get kicked from a transport for not being curteous

I know...hypocritical much...I get a lot of old ppl at work and sometimes they treat us like slaves...don't expect us to be nice to u if u can't do the same

So glad my great gran isn't that type of old person. She's the type that would give up her seat for someone else. Any time she comes to my house an there aren't enough chairs for my visitors she offers to stand so I can sit in a chair ((I always choose the floor))
