A stubborn lady

It’s well-mannered to let sit an older person in public transport. Even if you are foreigner. Most of old people then says “Dekuju” – “Thank you” and takes a place. But how you can read in this story from Prague tram, maybe you can be rewarded.

I get up, being the wonderful gentleman that I am, and offer her my seat. She is incredibly grateful (well, I think that’s what her Czech rambling was trying to convey) and she sits down. After 30 seconds or so, she continues to talk to us (though we are not paying any attention), and then she reahes in her bag and pulls out a one-liter plastic water bottle.
