Today is the worst day of my life I traveled to the city this morning by train. It was packed and I had to stand. However, on reaching the Little India station, the lady seated in front of me vacated her seat to get off. Wanting to let the old man standing beside me to have the seat, I did not move. Suddenly there was a light tap on my shoulder and a voice gently said, "Uncle, please take the seat." It was the old man. Lee Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past |

Well...... Lee. I think you should give thanks for the fact that he didn't call you Grandpa!! Alfie...
| ||
|
Hahaha Lee! How old is he old man? YOUR UNCLE...? You are not that old do you? Goodnight! "The only way to have a friend is to be one."

Don't you just hate when something like that happens! I think Alfie is right, he could have called you Grandpa

Hi Lee: The scariest comment for me was when I was about 45 yrs old and a young cashier asked me if I had a 'seniors' card so I could get a discount. OMG!!

Don't complain. I actually stopped dying my hair and let it go completely white just so I wouldn't have to give up my seat on the bus anymore.

Oh my goodness!!!! Big, Warm Hugssssss, old man!!

|
I know what you mean

Sounds about how I feel when my doctor says "You're in great shape" then adds "for someone your age" Spiritwoman ^i^

Geeze Lee, I hope you don't feel as old as you must have looked. I agree with Hawk aka Alfie.

Love it! Even if didn't happen, it brightened my day. I thank you for sharing this with ...the WORLD lol I have found the 'little ole lady' role works rather well at times. We needed a large piece of building product to be cut in half. The store doesn't do this, but the "slightly befuddled little ole lady'" got it done. That is why my hubby stayed home, he knew they would never bend the rules for HIM!! lol

Hi Lee. I had missed this blog. Being elderly has its advantages too.    Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.(Khalil Gibran)

Oh, oh. So it's Uncle Bill huh? Lee Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past

Suck it up? I have to find out what that means and thanks for the hugs. Lee Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past

I quickly and quietly thank him and took the seat. The carriage was crowded and any more discussion would only end up with him calling me uncle a few more times. Lee Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past

I thank him and took the seat to avoid further discussion and uncle-calling in the crowded carriage. I was in a hit of a shock too. Lee Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past

Well...... Lee. I think you should give thanks for the fact that he didn't call you Grandpa!! Alfie... Hawk, Had he called me Grandpa I would have given him a black eye! Lee Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past

Hahaha Lee! How old is he old man? YOUR UNCLE...? You are not that old do you? Goodnight! He looked old to me. As for myself, I believe in positive thinking - if you think you are, you are. I think I am 38 and I feel like 38 so I cannot understand why he offered me the seat. Lee Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past

Don't you just hate when something like that happens! I think Alfie is right, he could have called you Grandpa I am still in a daze. I don't understand why he cannot see that I am 38 and he was lucky that he did not call me Grandpa. Lee Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past

et, We were in a crowded carriage; I just hoped that nobody overheard what he called me so drawing attention to us is the last thing on my mind. Lee Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past

Yes bijou, How I wished the earth would just swallow me up but I realized there is no hope of that happening. We were on a train.

mrsjoe, We have some young and not so young punks doing that too. Then there are those who fall asleep when a pregnant or elderly person stands before them so they do not have to offer their seats. I suppose we were lucky that day. Lee Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past

Yes MySeek, I realized that he intention was good but it still rankled and thanks for the hug. Lee Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past

Don't complain. I actually stopped dying my hair and let it go completely white just so I wouldn't have to give up my seat on the bus anymore. Archer, With me, it is the other way around. I dye my hair regularly. Lee Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past
