What annoys you about old people?

[nanette1985]

They drive too slow and they smell. And they tell you to get off the lawn. What else?

 

[Flipped Gazelle]

Get off my forum!

Whoa, time warp! princess ida's the OP...

 

[Jumpem]

Their sense of entitlement that young people owe them.

 

[keird]

When they become so uncaring of their own life that they don't bother to cough up the phlegm that's been rattling around their windpipe for the last week. It is so annoying.

 

[MustISO]

Everything

 

[Quiksilver]

They make you turn off the air conditioning because they're cold despite wearing their 8 layers of turtleneck sweaters when it's like 80+ degrees outside.

 

[lxskllr]

Driving....

 

[imported_Imp]

Slow, not "hot" anymore. Remind me how I'm as screwed as anyone else in 40 years.

 

[MotF Bane]

Their driving.

 

[SagaLore]

Driving, when they obviously are beyond the age to safely drive.

That far too many of them tolerate smart-ass punk kids on their lawns...

and MOST old people are far better drivers than most people under 25...they just do it slowly...

[Q]

I love old people

 

[nick1985]

Serious question, why does every old person drive a big-ass Buick?

I'm guessing it was a status symbol when they were younger. Kind of like how all of the 20 yearolds today will have 75" spinners on their hovercars in 2065.

I think it comes from the days when all cars were big, it's just familiar. I think that phenomena will disappear when the current youts get old.

 

[her209]

Their cheapness.

 

[thecrecarc]

I'm scared they'll die when they are with me.

I want to die like my grandfather...quietly in my sleep...


Not screaming at the top of my lungs like the people in the bus he was driving when it happened.

The only thing that sort of gets to me about my grandma is she still can't figure out how to use her DVD player. It seems to "break" every few months. But I can't really fault her. I'll probably be asking my grandkids to help fix my "broken" neural computing interface when I'm in my 80s and they'll be like "man, grandpa sure sucks with computers huh!?"

:^D

I often speculate about that. I'm hoping I at least have a clue when I get old(er). Dealing with my mother and computers is an exercise in frustration.

theyre comfy. ditto for cadillacs. i drove a cadillac for the first time when i was 16. i was at my grandfathers, and he needed to get my cousins car, but my cousin had a stick, and i dont drive stick (i hate em)

so he said, ill drive the stick, you can drive my car. so i drive his cadillac down the shittiest bumpiest road on the way back to his house, and i never felt a thing. it was awesome...and i didnt want to get out of the car when i got to his place.

old people arent in a hurry to go places, so they get comfy cars and just relax in them. probably explains why my grandfather kept some vodka in his trunk: to relax while he was driving.

Young people also have the sense of entitlement so it works both ways.
