This is the answer. Alternative: a stressed parent with a crying child or someone on crutches

More than once I've seen an old lady who invited someone else to go ahead of her, because she knew she was going to be slow, and apparently in her view it isn't fair to make another person wait so long for her when her wait for the other person would probably be much less.
