There are few things more depressing in life than when you're the old guy who gets offered a seat on a bus or train. I'd rather stand. Of course, I appreciate the gesture, so I show gratitude.
From now on I'll forego offering my seat, just in case the old person happens to be you.

I recommend a dose of more toxicness @siggy47
Just show the next person offering you a seat this comment of yours, lol :)
Or did I understand your comment wrong? With gratitude, do you mean you accept and sit down or only show gratitude and keep standing?

I thank them and tell them I have a stiff back so I prefer to stand. The truth is that I DO prefer to stand, but not because of my back. I'm sure there will come a time when I sit.
