So i was on my way back from town with my little brother who is 3 and because of the weather we got the bus. The back of the bus was pritty much empty and the front was busy but with a few seats left. I sat my brother on one of those seats at the font of the bus that you have to go on a step up and face sideways and i stood infront of him facing him with my back to the rest of the bus. The bus starts filling up and im chatting away to my brother when all of a sudden this old man comes and stands next to me and says "move so i can sit down" Now this bloke cant have been any older than 65.
Pardon i say thining i havent heard him right.
"Im an old aged pentioner and i want that seat"
I inform him that there are plent of seats further up the bus.
"But im an old aged pentioner and it says on that sighn that you have to give me the seat"
Well by this point im livid. I tell him that one hes not having the seat for being so god damn rude, two the sighn says that they are priority seats for the elderly OR people with children and three if he is able to stand on the step(which is just wide enough to get your foot on) and swing round into the seat then you are capable of going up the one step to the rest of the seats on the back of the bus and four there are plenty of other people who dont need the priority seats who dont have children who you could of asked to move so on that basis, no you cant have this seat.
He starts chuntering away to him self so i just egnore him and talk to my brother.
Now several people who would come under number four in my rant offer him there seat to which he refuses and says "im standing to make a point"
If he was that unable to stand or walk to the back of the bus he would have accepted there offer to sit down.
I have nothing but respect for older people and allways move or stand up so that they can sit down but when they are so bloody rude it dose nothing but piss me off and feel sorry for the nice older people that get tared with the same brush.
Had he asked nicely in the first place i would have moved but im buggerd if im going to after how he spoke to me.
