Well, but everyone in this picture is sitting already. You don’t need to give up your seat! What’s the problem?

The only problem I see is with the label for each person. We have a plural noun describing a type of person, a singular noun describing a condition, an adjective, and then another singular noun. Not very consistent!

Have a seat, and let’s try to write them in more natural and consistent English… (unfortunately, each one is a bit longer, and won’t fit on the sign very well!)
