What is up with the old ladies in this city. It doesn't matter if I am waiting in a line at the store or trying to get on a tram, the G-Ma Mafia is there to gangster me out of position. Everyday some old sea-hag will elbow and push her way through to make sure she is the first one on or off the tram. I actually had a lady try to pull me out of my seat so she could sit.

Now I kindly give up my seat to the elderly because i respect the elderly and i understand that they are frail. My problem is that it is not only expected, but demanded. I for one believe that if they are strong enough to push me out of the way, they are strong enough to stand...

This kind of behavior would never happen in the states, but then again we don't ride public transportation either. Secondly we have a better system to take care of our elderly. Maybe that is the problem...they've been living in a "survival of the fittest" scenario their whole lives.
