50 year olds making ejits if themselves in the pub

sh1tstirrer · 28-10-2014 11:22am #1

I was out in the pub at the weekend and noticed a lot of people in their 50's acting the ejit after drink. The younger people even though they had as much drink acted in a more civilised manner anyone else notice this?

Awaits plenty stupid replies

Drunk people generally make ejits of themselves.

caustic 1 · 28-10-2014 11:25am

How do you explain the younger people with the same amount of drink minus the ejiting?

Exactly you have to be stupid drunk to enjoy yourself.

I stopped going out when I hit 30, there were too many drunkards of all ages acting like idiots and I'm a lot happier putting my feet up and watching something good on the telly. I still have the odd beer at home, I don't mind people drinking, I just wish they knew their limits.

Drink is the world's greatest leveller.

I haven't been in a pub in about a year, but I've got to go out next weekend and I'm dreading it. No doubt I'll bump into people I was at school with 20 years ago who are still going to the same bar with the same people talking more or less the same s8ite they were talking about 20 years ago. The sad thing is that they'll still be doing the same thing in 20 years.

But that is your choice and fair play to you, if someone else chooses to make a tit of themselves every Saturday night in the pub surely that is their right. What harm are they doing?

I worked in a job a few years ago were I had to visit numerous bars daily,it put me off drinking for life was like looking at big children or monkeys at feeding time at the zoo

You could say youll still be at home or doing what you've been doing for the past year while not in the pub in 20 years.

In what way were they ' making eejits' of themselves?
Were they just being noisy and laughing a lot or were they giving each other piggy backs through the bar and annoying the ' younger' customers?
Define the eejitness.

I expect they were having races to see who could drink a bucket of beer the quickest, wet t-shirt competitions, falling out onto the streets, puking up over garden walls. You know, the kind of stuff that's exclusive to over 50's

No, I grew up and moved on. I didn't feel the need to get stuck in a happy little rut that I got into at 18 and never want to move on from.

They're pretending to be idiots to drive away the young judgmental fcukers that insist on drinking in their pub instead of going to places with people their own age.

Nothing sad about them. Not bring in a pub in a year...now that's sad.

They dressed up for Halloween in the most ridiculous outfits then when the drink kicks in they try their hand at dancing but are only jumping around the place like monkeys thinking that they are the life and soul of the party. Same every weekend really minus the costumes. The pub doesn't have a dance floor so it makes things even more awkward when people have to go to the toilet or move to another part if the pub.

I demand a law to be brought in RIGHT NOW to keep 50 year olds from going out having fun :mad:

:rolleyes:

I remember when I was a young teen, I'd go to our local pub with my friend to watch the Saturday/Sunday matches. There was one guy who was there that quite obviously had some sort of mental deficiency. Everyone there would make fun of him, grown men mocking somebody who clearly wasn't well. It was like school yard bullying, children looking for gratification from their peers, while the rest of the pub sat their afraid to say anything. The situation taught me that there really is very little difference between children and adults in some ways. It's something I'll always remember.

If someone can get themselves stuck into a happy little rut and stay there, I say fair play to them. Why should they be looked down upon for having a happy life?

It's people who get stuck in an unhappy rut and can't move on from that, who we should pity. Or people who spend their whole lives travelling the world and never settling down at anything because they're unable to be happy.

I suspect the OP is in his early 20s and being a 50-year-old "eejit" is along the lines of being loud and laughing, and "OMG, if that was my Dad I'd be loike soooo embarrassed".

You find that once you get into your thirties, and especially when you have kids, you stop giving a single stuttering fnck what other people think and just enjoy yourself.

It's hilarious that some people believe that anyone over fourty should just stay at home and watch the late late and being out in public enjoying yourself when you're older is distasteful.
Reminds of the old thread on PI where a teenager was refusing to speak to his mother because he found out she was still having sex in her fourties, and wanted all of boards to agree with him that people over 40 shouldn't have sex because it was disgusting.
