Bus queues

I was getting on the bus today, when an elderly woman decided she would barge in front of me. The bus wasn't very busy; if it had been, I would have offered for her to go on ahead of me, because I'm nice like that. However she just decided that because she was older than me and I was part of the 'youth of today', she therefore had the right to budge into the queue. I didn't say anything, just kind of glanced at the other OAPs who were rightly and patiently queueing. She had barged in front of them too, not just me.
The look she gave me wasn't particularly polite either. I was surprised she didn't start grumbling about the intolerance and inconvenience of 'kids these days' (although I'm sure inside she was).
So I consoled myself by thinking the following; "one day you might collapse, and I could be the only person in the vacinity who knows how to help you, so be nice to me."
Of course I wish nothing to happen to this wifie, who ever she is, but it makes me feel better in some way that one day it could be me arriving in an ambulance to help either her (although she might be dead before then anyway) or her daughter, grandchildren, etc, and then she would regret being so rude.
Not all youth these days are trouble makers.
I wish some people would realise that, especially certain members of the elder generations.
