Yeh, there is one thing worse.  When she offers her seat to the
blind man, and he insists that she stay there, and that he is fine
standing up, and she still insists, getting everyone elses
attention, and then in order to end the problem, you have to take
her seat to shut her up.  I have seen this happen several times.
