Bus
17 year old me was on her way home from college early one afternoon. I took the seat nearest to the window so I could put all my stuff down the side of the seat
out of the way of everyone else. We got to the third stop in our journey and all the seats were taken. Two old women board the bus and stare at me.
I had my headphones on but could still hear them complaining about how rude I was for not giving up my seat. They went on and on about how inconsiderate
and rude I was throughout the journey and how back in there day they'd have offered their seat to the elderly not like the youth of today.

Until I pressed the bell and gathered up my belongings.
They glared at me until they noticed what it was I was pulling from down the side of the bus seat.

I gave them a little smile as I hobbled past on my crutch.

that really pisses me off
had some old battleaxe give me a right mouthful once. despite the fact that she was walking perfectly well, she DEMANDED that i gave up my seat for her, because "these seats are for the elderly!"
my mother, who was sitting behind me, said "they're for the elderly and disabled. my daughter is disabled, she has every right to sit there." "well, she doesn't look disabled to ME!" snarls the aged she-beast. "you don't look like a witch," my mum replies, "appearances can be deceptive."
