I went out alone today for the first time in about six weeks. It's only the second time in years that I've used a bus.
I chose a seat as near as possible to the front so I could get off easily if I needed to, I have bpd and bipolar and my anxiety levels are ridiculous at the moment. I spent the whole journey trying not to panic (but made it ok, hurrah!).
Anyway, it was only about half way through the journey that I realised I was in one of the two priority seats. An elderly lady with a stick got on and sat next to me, I smiled at her and she glared at me a bit.
If someone else needed the seat I would definitely have moved up the bus. But I wondered if actually I was ok to be there, or if it's strictly for physically disabled people?
As far as I remember the sign said priority for the elderly or infirm. So a bit vague.
Anyway, I'll have to do this journey again in two weeks, so give it to me straight? Was I being a bus wanker?
