So...how does that make you feel?

[Levian]

Some people are just jackasses. I don't think it has anything to do with age.

[Christmas]

Only if they deserve the respect that is. But I never really get yelled at by older people for no reason in particular.

[Chris]

What that man did to you was WRONG. But in my country there's a lot of respect for the elders. We alway call them "Ma'am" and "Sir" to honour their hard work. But...still, what he did was wrong and very inappropriate.

[blackmage_nuke]

If anyone yells at me for no reason, esspecially strangers, I yell some insults involving many profanities and then I walk away. Im not discriminative to age. But it doesnt happen very often

But that old guy was pretty stupid, he naturally assumed you didnt work when its possible you do, its not like he saw you at the unemployment office or something was it?

[Giga Guess]

Since you have his address, go to his place and ask for a job. If he starts sputtering, then tell him, unless he has work for you to do, mind his own business, and leave the job of parenting you to your parnts, seeing as you were skateboarding, not looting the local mall.

I get yelled at for lots of things and by lots of age groups. I had an old woman yell "****ing crackhead" at me from her car, I don't know why. Maybe it's my bright clothing, or my hair, or something.

I've also had various articles of food thrown at me by passing teenagers in cars.

I ignore them, it usually pisses them off more than retaliating.

[Marly]

I don't get yelled at by old people.

But if I did one day, I'd just ignore them.

Oh, and harassing someone probably isn't the best idea for retaliation. Yes, you may feel he "started it" by yelling at you, but if he files a complaint, you'll have a hard time proving that. I suggest ignoring him.

took the words right out of my mouth.

[~SapphireStar~]

I get yelled at by my grandad for something every week. He asked me once to unlock his phone for me? WFT! How am I suppose to be able to unlock a moblie phone?

[xenojohn]

I used to sk8 alot when i was older and am still involved in the industry.
What i tell kids to do and what i used to do to respond to an old person:

John @ 16 yrs old
"Justmove along sir and mind your own business, I'll be around raising hell long after your dead and covered in 6 feet of dirt........douchbag"

[Old Manus]

Just make jokes about them being retired and not having jobs either

[Reine]

The flaming bag of crap NEVER fails to make me laugh on TV, and hearing it mentioned brings a automatic smile...

Anyway, im not the revenge kind of guy. It just seems stupid to go out of your way to get back at someone. I'll ignore it like I always do.

[Alive-Cat]

I'd probably develop a liking for the old chap! I might even find out where he lived and visit him one time. Old people love that. You should give the old man a pat on the back for standing up to the youths of today for what he believes in, he could have well been killed!

[Zeldy]

Nothing like that has happened to me recently, about a few years ago I was out with friends in my area and we walked past these middle-age woman and they started muttering. i can't remember exacly - but it was something like "Kid's these days, shouldn't be out on the streets". We all just laughed, I was like.. 11 xD

[Hambone]

I flick them off and then run. Hey, I'm 12, theres not much I can AFFORD to do.

[lovehurts]

I was skate-boarding and listening to my ipod across the highway the other day minding my own business. When a old-chap(aroud in his mid-seventies) in his car drove up next to me and told me to get a job and make something of my life. Well i'm 14 and that bloody idiot quite pissed me off. So i later found his address off of his liscense and harass him back or being a jackass. So, what do you do when you get yelled at by older people?

Am I the only one that doesnt think the old man was horribly wrong? Maybe you look older than you are...14 year olds cant work at too many places dont ya know?.......?? Maybe he was just offering a wise piece of information. Maybe he was once on his board of wood on wheels skating away and getting good at it and he never got a job and never got good at a job. Maybe he was being advisive and just figured that an old man can still tip off or help society where ever it may be....??????
