Once when I was in a  pharmacy one elderly lady (she was about 80 years)
said to me, that I should take her seat because she believe that I am
pregnant." You should sit in your condition" she said It was so
embarrassing, but I couldn't tell her that she was wrong. Why? Just because
she was trying to be polite. Anyway this incident made me think that there
was something what I wasn't noticed in me.

Well, to me it was easier to say thank you and hope that I could just
vanish... My grandmother has teach that I should always respect elderly
people.
