Do any other men have an issue when using Public Transport??

Today was a thats the last time it happens,suffering from chronic osteoarthritis standing any lentgh of time causes a lot of pain,so having a Freedom pass i tend to use the priority seats,thats what they are for after all.When i got on a woman got up from her seat so i thought cool,sat down,what i didnt see was another chap get on the bus,it turns out she had moved for him.Yesterday i looked about 70,not a shave for a couple of months,not showered for days because it would of been a waste of energy how things have been recently,not good,going out into town i forced myself to shower,shave looked more like 50,though i am 60,my age has been raised a few times and its always a good bit younger.So i sat down and these two women started with snidey comments,like best laid plans,even explaining to the old fella what they had planned,he got a seat at the very front so was actually ok.My blood was boiling,sat next to me was a 12/13 year old girl,behind me another,with that in mind i piped up,i showed her my Freedom pass,explained my condition,she said I'm not interested,i said if you're not interested you can stop your snidey comments,i said to her that i would be more concerned that two teenage kids were in the seats,i said you're a hypocrite,she got off,the woman whose two kids were in priority seats got told they are getting off at the next stop,i turned and asked do they both need priority seats??? She went red with embarrassment when i showed her my Freedom pass,do your kids have these,again no answer.I told her in future dont judge people on what you cant see,i told her its a bad example you're teaching your kids.It really pizzed me off,but i didnt shout,or swear.
