[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People cannot tell for sure if a woman is pregnant or simply fat. If the latter, they fear offending the woman. Same for the elderly. Some kind gesters get shot down with "I am not that old!" while others complain "no one give me their seat." What is a transit stranger to do? [/quote] I regularly just ask people "Would you like to sit?" They can say yes or no. If several people get on at the same time including one person who might need a seat, I'll just say "Would anyone like to sit?" and raise my hand so people know who spoke. If no one answers, then I'll stay sitting. If someone asks, I immediately get up. I have never had someone get upset from this phrasing. And I'm 52, so I'm old enough to have had this exchange many, many times including recently. [/quote]
