I see both sides of this argument here. Definitely interesting points everyone is bringing up.

I, too, don't want to look sick or be viewed as the "invalid", but I did get very annoyed recently at an outdoor wedding when these old people INSISTED they sit in the spot we were going to sit because it was more shady. As a result, I got sun sick and threw up. You're supposed to default to old people and people in wheelchairs, etc., but sometimes I hurt too and it is frustrating when people can't see that or think I'm rude for taking up a seat on the subway because I feel that I cannot stand the entire ride.
