I like old people. Young people never go to Walgreens and load three carts with adult diapers and if they did I'd be suspicious.

I'm a middle aged gently caress working on a college campus - students walk slower than poo poo it looks like they're just wandering in a random direction most of the time. Just walking slow and thinking about how they look lmao.

There's this old woman who keeps baking stuff for us at work. Like, she doesnt even work there she just lives in the same area but she comes by with baked goods every now and then and I think that's really rude and typical of an old persons insensitivities that she keep forcing all these delicious treats on us and making us gain weight

my favorite thing is when a foreign student from one of the college walks into work and just spends like 4 hours looking at all our food stuffs in a grocery store.

I used to deliver flowers and always dreaded when a recipient's name was Mildred or Phyllis. That meant that I would have to feel terrible about telling a sad, lonely old lady that I couldn't stay to listen to her tragic life story -- sorry, I have deadlines to meet!

They're ok to hang with as long as you stay in safe places like public. If you go to their houses they'll imprison you.

thompson posted:In all seriousness, elderly people shouldn't drive. If you look around, insurance companies did surveys that showed that mile to mile, old people drive worse. Youngsters get in more accidents but that's just because they drive more. Try showing that to an old person and watch them flip out when you bring up they shouldn't be driving anymore.

people on the cusp of oldness are worse since they have enough life left in them to endlessly bitch and take action over meaningless poo poo they can endure a ton of poo poo but by God they'll revolt when you take away their garth brooks concerts

Saw some old people helping each other - getting up sidewalk curbs, opening doors, filling out forms - at a doctor's office today. It was pathetic and sad. Also they were annoyed and confused by normal office routines.

when you're young, it's easy to be fooled into thinking that some day far in the future your hard work will pay off and you'll be able to look back at things with pride while you enjoy your rewards. in fact much of our literature features this concept in one shape or another then if you manage to live to get old, you realize nobody gives a flying gently caress what you've done with your life, everyone sees you as a burden, all of the things you were taught have been proven to be bullshit as technology and science march ever onward, and nobody wants to deal with you so you reach out to other people your age, but you're all dying so all you have to talk about is how you are dying, because there's nothing else going on and you're not able to do anything more significant or you withdraw and get pissy about the pettiest poo poo because that's literally all you have left in your life. you had an entire life to make a difference on a larger scale and at the end of it you have to come to terms with the fact that it was essentially futile. so you think things like "give me my goddamn breakfast done right, give me my goddamn scratch offs, and shut up and give me a second to find my lovely coupons because my brain and muscles are all failing me and it takes me a bit longer you impatient gently caress with decades more left to live than me"

I guess they were dying for someone to not know how irrelevant they were in a conversation? Most old people do seem to have made one or more mistakes in planning their grim futures, though. Really they should have invested more attention/guilt-fostering in their children. The only people around here I see routinely dealing with their insane/useless/malicious elders are Catholics. Although part of the problem is old people come to Florida "to retire" (die) and if they don't have kids they lavished attention on down here, no one is going to check on them unless they're paid. If you don't have children, you're basically going to die with a bunch of other unremarkable old people in varying states of misery. (Even if you did the unlikely and contributed to society, society will not care about you. Nothing is thicker than blood.)

Helping old people move is terrible. Although there were some good things, such as loose ammunition, and also old pornography (from previous decades - not pr0n of oldsters) and other photos.
