Well, she obviously felt entitled to that seat, didn't she? "Entitled" and "entitlement" are strangely similar, don't you think? It's almost like they share the same root word!
Frankly, I think calling a 50 year old lady "old" is extremely insulting. Last I checked "old" was 60+; clearly you are a moustache-twirling villain and an ageist to boot for using such intemperate language.

I'm 44, so my parents are already "elderly". Of course, when I was raised, in the early 80s, in Calgary, none of the morals you allude to were actually enforced; as I recall it was a lot like now (except the video games were primitive); nobody went around smacking people for insufficiently quickly hopping up when seemingly healthy middle-aged women had to stand up on the LRT.
You must have been born in some hick town where the 50s got held over for a few decades; here in the big city "chivalry" is for the rubes and extreme geezers.
