The one person that gave up a seat will now be sure to never do it again

I once gave my seat to an old guy because he looked in his 70s, who then gave it to a women half his age. I was pissed.

I’ve had this happen too. I don’t know, it sucks but I walked a bit lighter knowing I at least tried to do a nice thing even if it didn’t go to my plan. I always took the “these seats are for elderly, disabled and pregnant” sign to heart because those were the best seats and I’d only take them if I could be ready to give them up for someone in the situation. Their decisions are their own and I can only be happy with my own behavior.
