Today, I was coming home from work and saw an old couple overwhelmed by the number of people at the train station. It was peak hour and I decided to help them. As I went up to them, they said, "Get away, go mug someone else". FML

If only that line worked every time to prevent mugging. Kind of like "Swiper no swiping"

It's the thought that counts here OP. Not everyone is going to appreciate random acts of kindness.

At least you had the right intentions! Screw people and their assumptions.

I would think that OP's assumptions were also off the mark.

Does anyone else have those old people who seem frail and weak until there's a free seat on the bus and then they go full Ussain Bolt?

Maybe they weren't as overwhelmed and helpless as you thought?

It's a generous thought so props to you op, but just because they're old doesn't mean they're disabled.

They didn't need the help you tried to force onto them. Please don't act on half assed assumptions or think that someone owes you for your intentions.

At times it may be better to leave things well enough alone...but just ask if they would like to have a little help...and they will always appreciate it but this case you must have come off negatively

A fair assumption on the couples part but I would have informed them my actual intentions before stalking away with the moral high ground and leave them to contemplate their unwitting rejection of help.
