I Have a Friend Who Gets Annoyed.................

When someone offers her a seat on the subway or the bus. She thinks they offer her the seats because she looks old. I don't agree, especially if a man does the offering because I think some men were just taught to offer a seat to a woman. However, if another woman offers the seat, then I could see how that might annoy her. But she talks about this so much, that I wondered what other people think......would you get annoyed in this situation?

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

Would I get annoyed if someone offered me a seat?

No.

No, I wouldn't get annoyed but I would probably faint from the shock! I've seen pregnant women struggling to stand on a city bus while young men and women sit. Disgusting!

Some people look for reasons to get annoyed.

It has nothing to do with someone offering her a seat and everything to do with how she is feeling about herself.

No I wouldn't get annoyed. OMG, isn't there other things in life worth getting ruffled about than this? (shaking my head).

People have often offered me a seat, and I have offered mine on many occasions- I never question it, sometimes I take it, sometimes I don't...

Your friend sounds vain and petty. Do you notice it in other areas?
