Elderly People.

[drotato]

I know most old people have like this... Database of knowledge or whatever. But sometimes they can be really annoying and overbearing.

My grandparents are basically trying to tell me how to raise Den and I'm just like... "YOU ARE CLOSE MINDED, SHE WILL BE OKAY, I AM GOOD MOTHER."

Plus, they are like, Jesus freaks, and incorporate God into everything... Which gets annoying for me, considering I'm not Christian.


Discuss; Annoyances of old people, how they can be close minded, and how one day we will also be old, annoying farts.

"We like our coffee hot like we like our men!"

Lollollol.

Unfortunately, my grandparents aren't really funny. xD
They do funny stuff sometimes, but... Mostly just annoying stuff.

Older people are set in their ways because they have a large body of experience to back up their views. Young people are set in their ways because a lack of experience means they never learned to try something different.

While you can gripe about how you dislike an older generation for having the great idea of passing on some (all, as this case may be) knowledge, recognize they are trying to help. What you can do as a young person is listen to them and then pick-and-choose the best bits of advice, leaving the worst well-alone.

I find that hipsters and old people are a lot alike. Here's a chart:

Well, I know... I don't actually gripe about them all the time, at all. I appreciate them, and all they are trying to do for me. It just gets overbearing sometimes. /:

I understand though, that the younger generation often thinks they know everything. I will admit here and now that I don't think I know everything, not in the slightest. o. o
I take the advice they give that is good, and just kinda ignore the advice I know won't work for me. But it's frustrating at times, because they are constantly giving their opinions. xDDD

EDIT: LAWL, Will. Thank you for that laugh. xDDD

I imagine that your misuse of the italic tag means everything you say has emphasis on every syllable. A bit like some kind of unholy union of Lloyd Grossman (what happened to that guy?) and Jeremy Clarkson.

I hate old people as a collective group. There are sooooo many around my area. They can't drive which causes me to get road rage. I never had road rage until I moved here. They are always just around at whatever stores. They have nothing to do so they are just at stores and in the way for their one item. It's frustrating! GO HOME. They are like teenagers. Teenagers mill around in the stores too. Anyone between those ages isn't there unless they need to be. Ugh. They ruined my Birthday once when I was 13 with their RV convention. My family always took us out on our Bdays for dinner and we couldn't go anywhere cause a stupid RV convention was in town. Stupid old people.

But individually, they're alright. I like some of them. Cept they just talk talk talk talk my ear off when I have things to do. They catch me leaving somewhere like, I work in a nursery at a church on sundays, they catch me in the parking lot and I have to stand there and talk for 20 mins. :/ Old people ugh

[krissy]

i will be mackin on nursing staff at the nursing home once i'm there
and i will be as closed minded as possible

"meta furries are a scourge on society,
para digital theory of marriage is ruining the sanctity of pansexualism."

that will be me

Yeah, I pick and choose what to listen to when it comes to old people. My supervisor always has relationship advice for me.

1. Don't mother your man. - Okay that is decent advice even if I don't really follow it.
2. A man should take care of you. - This I don't like, it goes both ways or neither. And it contradicts what my mother has taught me ever since I was too young to know wtf she was talking about: Always support yourself. No matter how perfect your husband/boyfriend is, always work to make sure you can stand on your own.

My Grandpa tends to think he is always right to the point where he could save the world from all its problems. Not even exaggerating. Before he stopped driving, he actually went downtown and gave some news anchor a copy of some book (not published) he wrote.

My dad is much older than my mom and he turns 80 in a month. Yes, I do get slightly annoyed by him, mainly because he insists on doing things the way he's always done them, and that is fine, if he lived in a cave by himself.

We all have to make compromises to get along somewhat peacefully, and it's not like he is purposefully trying to be difficult, but it's not easy to compromise on 70+ years of experience and habits. I sometimes think that he must be right. What do I know? He's lived through and experienced the birth of modern culture, and me? Only the birth of MTV, which really hinders my standpoint when I get into a discussion with him.

My grandparents are awesome, it's just every other old person that seems to think I'm one of those darn youngsters with their playboxes and their facespaces and their rock n roll music

[Shlup]

I love elderly people. I just got off the phone with my grandpa. He's trying to convince me that restaurants play background noise of people talking to make it loud. He hates loud places.

Some actually do and in a variety of languages, too. We did that at my old work place.

What?! You lie.
