Respecting the Elderly and Giving up Seats

Well, if I were to give up my seat, it should be for a pregnant woman close to delivery or a stooped elder. But absolutely not for those who hold a teacup, carry fishing gear, and wear sports shoes. Is it necessary to offer them a seat? I need to go to work at 8:30 every morning, which is the rush hour for work. Although I am in Leshan, not a big city with many people, a lazy and relaxed city, it's still the rush hour for work. But during such a peak hour, a group of elderly people board the bus with red faces, holding a teacup in their hands, wearing expensive sports shoes on their feet, or carrying a set of fishing gear, or carrying a camera. I wonder, are you going to work too? Is fishing and taking photos also time-sensitive? And that old lady over there, where are you going to play cards? Are you in a hurry too? Can't you stagger your time a bit? Will you die if you go half an hour later? Don't talk about me not respecting the elders. My grandparents at home have to take care of several pigs and dozens of rabbits every day. They still go out to cut grass and turn the soil to plant corn. They are younger than my grandmother, so I don't understand why they get tired as soon as they get on the bus? As soon as they get off, they start doing Tai Chi, fishing, and dancing. If I do Tai Chi for an entire morning, I might die from exhaustion, but oh, they are so fit, yet they pretend to be weak when they get on the bus. Let's put these aside, but please don't join in this rush hour. It's already crowded, and if something happens to you, your son and daughter-in-law will eat us alive.
