Important! You need to read this post. Especially if you take public transit.
This is when you have a seat on a full bus you waited 10 minutes for:
how do you know when to give up your seat? Some decisions are obvious: pregnant ladies, old folks that look like they're dying, people with crutches, pregnant men, Obama, etc. And people with lots of baggage. No, not obese people, just people who think it's wise to carry a lot of 'stuff' on the bus on a rainy day. Without an umbrella.


The category I am most indecisive on is with the senior citizens. I know society in general demands respect for these folks out of courtesy, but how old do you have to be to take my seat? I get really confused when some of these guys, having white hair and probably run the marathon on the weekend, eye my seat maliciously while I, the sickly student (who waited for 10 minutes standing), would like nothing better than to sleep until kingdom come. I once asked a friend about this and he told me you can tell by their skin. Mainly if they're wrinkly or not. If you're seeing them wrinkles, move over Sonny! But honestly, how is that fair? Some days I just feel sick or very crappy. Another friend suggested to do what he did: pretend to have tuberculosis, cough occasionally, and play the sympathy card. I'll probably continue to do what I usually do at 7 o'clock in the morning. Sleep. Sorry Gramps, can't hear you.
