Whats up with old people and stamps?

[Sluggo]

I go to the Post Office about every day. Virtually every day there is an old person (70+) at one of the windows buying stamps.

Of course they dont buy stamps like everyone else does, they have to see every type of stamp the PO has printed in the last 120 months before making a decision. And as their last remaining brain cell reviews the choices the line behind them grows exponentially.

Does it really make a difference if Little Johnie's Thanksgiving card has a flag stamp or a flower stamp?

And then the unwitting PO employee blindsides them with a question on how they are. Of course thus begins the soliloquy on the various ailments that they have had for the last 10years.

Probably stamp collectors.

Old people feel ignored, and as such they're looking for attention.

I get my stamps from the grocery store and even at that, the last time I used one was a few months ago since I pay all my bills online now.

Well if I were my grandmother I wouldn't want stamps saying "I love you" on them when mailing out bills😛 (it's happened)

The PO should make "DIAF" stamps.

LMFAO!! This is SOO true!! 😛

I was in line the other day is the old white haired lady was holding up the line b/c she wanted to look at every single sheet of stamps they had behind the counter. Took her about 5 mins (I sh!t you not) to make a decision on which set to buy, and then she was like, can I just get 13 stamps? WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then she had to fumble around in a purse that was half her size. "Hey grandma, there's only one postal worker working and you're holding up a line of 8 people...MOVE IT!!!!"

The people behind me were getting uber pissed!!!!

I've seen this acronym around a bit, and I'm a bit ashamed that I don't know the meaning. Acronymfinder.com doesn't help. What does it mean? PM if explicit.
