    How very stereotypical! It depends on the person. Some old people are nice, some children are nice.

    It also depends on your definition of "Children". Young children can be annoying sure, but at least I *expect* them to be annoying as it comes with the brochure. But teenagers? No other demographic fills me with more dread than them, and technically I AM STILL IN THAT DEMOGRAPHIC.

    Children, especially since they have more potential to be annoying in the future.

    Yeah but with younger children their more malleable and you can save them from the brink. With older people, their more set in their ways. Basically, if your over the age of about 20 and your still annoying, it's very unlikely they will change. Children at least can be changed with proper education and a good smack.

    I'm joking on that last one. Seriously. I am!

    Yeah it's okay I know you're joking. It usually takes more than one smack.

    Children make me nervous more than annoyed. Mostly because mothers are vicious creatures.

    I meet a lot of old people every single day, and there is nothing annoying about them. I am actually grateful that I get to hear so many fascinating stories and experiences.

    Children are loud, smelly and expensive.

    It still leads to being screamed at by their mother.

    Old people are not really that annoying. The only time they become annoying is when they drive, since they are often the slowest drivers out there. Sooo annoying. Children are far more annoying more times than not.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Old people aren't really annoying. At worst, they're just awkward to be around. Like Chris said, oftentimes they do tell some legitimately cool and fascinating stories.

    Children, on the other hand... (shudder)

    Old people.

    They are basically children: they trout themselves, talk in a mostly incoherent manner, and can't drive very well. They can also wander into traffic if left unattended.

    It's a tough choice, but I'm going to have to go with old people. I can mostly avoid children if I want to, but old people on the road are just the worst.

    They're also the only reason gay marriage is still illegal in most US states.

    Children.

    Kids are dumb. Old people are experienced and dumb. One of these groups can help me financially. The other hurts it.

    I've never really considered old people to be annoying. My parents' generation, sure, but not my grandparents'.
