I have been sworn at for opening doors followed by a scream I'm not helpless I can do it myself.<br /><br />However this is the best example I have personally witnessed.<br /><br />People tend to get off work at the same time and take the same trains. I recall once a train was crowed and an elderly gentleman got up to give a young woman her seat. She swore at him and gave him the I can do it myself argument. I was embarassed for him. A few months later same women on a same train. Only now she is several months pregnant. She out loud says. Isn't any Gentleman going to give lady a seat. Several men went to stand up but the gentleman who had been chewed out was there. He stood and said what she had said a few months back. Several other passengers said I remember that. All the men sat back down. I think she stood right until she gave birth as whenever someone started to stand someone who had been there when the man offered her the seat grabbed the arm of the gentleman and explained the story.<br /><br />It's not like I was sworn at once or twice for offering a seat or opening a door. On a guess I would say several thousand times. My comment in such situations was usually just because you are not a lady does not mean I am not a gentleman. Sometimes they were shocked to silence sometimes they would say I am not a lady I am a women. I would answer that's correct. The dictionary defines a woman as a female of lower class than a lady.
