On The Bus... #3

It was peak hour traffic, 6pm. On the bus home, it was pretty much crowded as usual.

Several passengers alighted at a stop, and a young lad sat his butt down in an empty seat.

At the next bus stop, a man, presumably more than 50 years of age, got up the bus. The young lad immediately got up from his seat and offered it to the man.

Just as the man was saying "It's okay, you can have the seat", a middle-aged woman, probably in her late 30's, immediately sat down at the free seat that the young lad had just given up.

Shooting an angry glare at the man and the lad, the young lad was speechless. The woman didn't budge thereafter, even after the young lad and man had gotten off the bus.

What's wrong with this world.
