Valentine's Day restaurants are obviously crowded and behind on their reservations. The restaurant we were at had very little seating while waiting and it was crowded making it hot. There was a family on the bench with 4 young kids a mom and grandma. The dad was standing and a pregnant couple was on the other side of the bench.

The family got called and when they stood up a few fit healthy-looking energetic young couples swooped in for the bench they were at and the grandma stayed there looked at me and stubbornly said to them one of you need to leave I see a few pregnant women who need to sit and they weren't budging. I was the closest to her. She looked at me and said I'm not moving until you get behind me and sit where I am. When I do, she was all sorry I couldn't give up my seat to you earlier I have a hard time standing and walking. I told her no need to apologize and thanked her for saving the seat for me. She scolded the other young couples sitting next to me and got help walking to her table.

I was super happy to get a seat however, I can't help but wonder why others feel that their want for comfort is more important than helping those who need comfort.

"Why should you offer your seat? Because one day that's going to be your wife or sister. If it were them you would expect someone to be humane and give up your seat for them. If you can't give up your seat, for someone now, don't expect others to for your wife or sister. So next time I suggest you move!"

If someone looks like they are having a tough time standing and you are able, please give up your seat to them.

Yes, I know all elements of heath are not visible. I deal with invisible ones myself. However, that is why I said if you are ABLE.

The young couples did not have any invisible ailment I know from there whining about it after the grandma left. They were talking about how they should have lied saying that they have something like POTS or just had surgery but you can't see the scar to get her off their back.
