On the way back from my parents' house, I got off a train and walked to a bus stop. There was already a long line. When I went to join it, I saw two bags on the ground. I assumed that someone who didn’t want to stand had placed them there to hold a spot, so I waited behind them.
When the line moved forward, I tried to skip them because they were just objects and no one was actually standing in front of me.
At that moment, a person sitting in a bench dashed toward me and moved the bags on the ground. I didn't say anything, but I didn't like it. In front of me was an elderly woman who looked older than the guy, but she was standing in the line. I thought he should have given her his seat, then she could sit on the bench instead
Although I didn't say anything this time because I don't care only one person cut the line, if a couple of people from a group did it, I would definitely speak up. What would you do?

That's a difficult one. I think I would just ignore it, then have a discussion with myself if I actually care, and, just before falling asleep, come up with a thousand things I could/should have said 😅
I think I would do the same thing you did.
Some old people find it difficult to stand because their legs are weak.... perhaps they were trying "stand in line" using the bag as a marker. (Handicapped people might do this.)
@Renby Thank you for reading and commenting. Haha, I know your feelings very well. I'm not such complex and I'm a super easy person.
@Spaceprincess Thank you for correcting and commenting. I guess the majority of people do the same.
@T-Newfields Thank you as always! Your point is so right! The guy sitting in a bench wasn't handicapped because he could dash.
Hi, nice to meet you, @Luigh! Of course! This isn't the harsh thing at all, though. Thank you for the comment.
