And just cross busy streets without looking as cars screech around them?
I was just driving on a bust street and this old woman just crosses in front of my car without ever looking. I slammed on the brakes and the horn, she turned and looked at me and continued on her merry way.

More power to the old people, I hope to be old myself one day. But really, would you look both ways before walking into the street?

The same time they start driving like they are blind and start getting into the lane you're in and have no idea that you are blowing your horn at them. They give you this "i haven't a clue" look.

The same time they start farting in public places and haven't a care they did so.

The same time they stop taking baths/showers more than once a month and smell like... i don't even want to discribe that.

And so it is penned into my will, that should I ever meet the above conditions, my family is to kill me immediately.

Recently my mom had to take care of her mom for two weeks while a full time care provider was transistioned in.

When she came home she told me all about it. Then she said, "If I ever get like that just walk me out into the woods and shoot me. Don't worry, I won't even know what's going on. Make sure they don't findmy body so you don't get in trouble."

When she saw my :confused: face she said, "You think I'm kidding?"

I've got news for you. I see all ages doing the same thing. What do they think, if they can't see the car it can't hit them? Incredible.

I had someone walk in front of a bus I was driving once--that was scary--but he was middle-aged.
