Imagine you are in a situation that you have waited in a queue for a long time for a particular service and an elderly person comes to meet you to give up your turn for him or her.

Would you willingly give up your turn for him or her?

In my country, we should show special treatment for the elders. In this situation, I should let him or her be in the first line. Usually, elders have their special lines on queue, especially the senior citizens.

It is a good idea to give up your turn to an elderly person. After all, we will all be elderly one day. In addition, many places have special lanes for senior citizens, like grocery stores and pharmacies.

Given the physical and other problems that the elderly go through, I will feel obligated to help them get the services they need faster. But in the case where they have an helper, those can do the line or the work for them.

I come from a culture where elders are highly respected. And I always give up for elders. It is something that is inside me. I leave my seat for elders when there are no more seats and so on.

It's a shame that special lane for elderly people is not that common here. In the situation you mentioned, I would definitely give up my turn for the elderly.

I will certainly give up my turn for elderly person, disabled person, pregnant woman. I like helping people who are less privileged.

I am usually not in a hurry, I don't mind giving my chance for an elderly person, the only time I might not be willing to is if I am in a hurry to go someplace important.
