The curse, when you get on the bus to head home after a long day and you manage to nab a seat...only to have to get up at the next stop because an elderly person has just got on. Here they really subscribe to the custom of giving up your seat to an elderly person (and pregnant woman too). In fact you are liable to get dirty looks if you don't hop up. Male or female, it doesn't matter, it is who ever is the closest.
The blessing, when you are trying to decide whether to cross the street it is great to have an elderly person by your side. It is usually quite dangerous for an able bodied person to cross the streets. One because drivers don't respect pedestrians and two. because they drive up on you quickly since they expect you will be able to get out of their way pretty quickly. Nevertheless, if you have an older person my your side you can cross safely and at your own pace. All you have to do is walk when they walk. No one would dare hit an old lady.
