No, you weren't wrong.

Enough other people who could have given up their seat, no reason you should have to do so if you happen to be tired.

Plus, it's ''better'' for her to take a seat in front of the bus anyone, shame on the old lady!

The fact that no one else gave up their seat means that at the very worst, you're all terrible people who should be ashamed of yourselves, but no one of you is worse than any other. Really, it isn't a big deal. If that happens again and you think you'll feel bad, just give up your seat. I bet the lady will appreciate it, and you can feel good about yourself. But don't let it bother you.

Oh yeah, I probably forgot to mention nearly everyone who had a seat was either old or female or both. I was one of the only three or four young males with a seat.

Thanks for that blow to my self-esteem dude. I'm going to go cut myself now.

But.... if I don't do that.... how will she get my beer from the car into the house?

Ahahaha! I haven't laughed from one of your jokes much recently, but this was funny. You seem to be exiting your slump I think.

I'm one of those guys that thinks that a woman should have no problems giving up her seat either. There were, from the sound of things, quite a few young females there. They could have just as easily gotten up and given their seat to the old lady. Chivalry and politeness should not be limited to one gender.

At the very worst, you feel bad that you didn't do it. So take a lesson from this and if it ever happens again, give up your seat. You can feel good, people will think that you're a kind and polite guy, and the elderly person will be grateful that you were willing to do it before anyone else. But until then, don't beat yourself up over it. It happened, it's in the past. Learn from it and move on.

Well I think you shouldn’t wait for others to do a good thing. lol if I were you I would gladly move aside as its such a simple yet very good thing too do. For one you would be better than the others and you would feel better as well.   

You were wrong and selfish. That sounds harsh, but it's true. I'm sure your a nice person and all, but next time you should offer your seat to someone who needs it more than you.

I can't even count the number of times I've offered my seat to an elderly person, not just elderly woman, but men too. If you think you were tired, just think how tired you'll be in another 50 years.

It's awful that we live in a world where the elderly get no respect and in many cases disrespect. This old woman should have been offered a seat as soon as she stepped on the bus, but everyone ignored her hoping the next person would do it until she got to the back you you ignored her too. You didn't feel her gaze on you, you felt your own guilt welling up inside. Learn from this, do better next time. We are human, we make mistakes, we aren't perfect, but learning from our mistakes is what makes us better than we were yesterday.

You should do a character assessment of the person first.

Sounds like a good idea for a thread. Should men still hold doors, offer seats for women, etc.

About the 'I don't need yo charity bitch'. That's actually pretty funny because some lady told me that a few weeks ago when I held the door for her. Though when she told me that, I then slammed...no...drove the door INTO her face with all of my strength knocking her down. I then reached into her purse and took her money and walked off. I felt it was the right thing to do. By her saying she doesn't need my charity, I used that as a statement stating she wants to give me charity.
