I haven't read all the replies and maybe neither has the original poster..but my 2 cents...

I think you did the right thing. I too subscribe to the old school rule of letting people older than yourself and ladies have your seat....or at least offering it up.

How could you be certain that she could stand for that amount of time? Maybe she has some underlying condition that makes her appear capable but really isn't.

I think most of us get our backs up when asked to do something or give up something by a stranger..but I like to think if they didn't need it they wouldn't ask..

What about in another 26 short years those roles are reversed and you'd like to rest your weary old bones and chivalry is dead..you'll just have to stand old man..
