Why Is It So Hard To Give An Elderly Person Your Seat On The Bts

[doubleduh]

What I never understood, why do you have to give your seat up to dwarfs (2nd picture) and americans (3rd picture)?

I'm curious at what age are you considered elderly? Elderly enough to give your seat too.

Well retirement age in Thailand is generally 60 but some discounts don't come in till 65 and the average life expectancy for Thais is about 67. So I guess anything over 60 would be considered old - as I've just reached 60 with lots of grey hair, I expect all little school kiddies to jump outta their seats as soon as I get on the BTS or i'll swipe them across the chops with my pension book.

Why wood ya give up a perfectly good seat to an old hag - wait until some good looking waif wearing absolutely nothing comes by, grab her and sit her on ya lap.

Thats my modus operandi on the local Baht Bus.

Best way to get some extra room on public transport...take out your mobile phone, have a loud pretend conversation with your friend (preferably in Thai) about your 6 week tour of Mexico...sneeze, sit back and relax.

Now that's BAD but also very smart
