Do old people annoy you?

Kold

I'm generalising yes, but for the most I wish they just had the decency to die already.

Why? They don't talk about anything worthwhile. On the occasion that they do have something cool to say, D Day landings or something, they mess it up and don't tell it right. They're always fecking whinging about stuff that doesn't concern them. They're fussy as sh*t. Old women think they are entitled to EVERYTHING. Most of them are bloody mental and do nothing but waste precious oxygen.

Oh. And they smell of piss.

I hate being stuck behind them when i'm driving, although one oul fella in Galway gave me a right old laugh at a roundabout he just barreled right through no indicators or anything :rolleyes:

Pj!

Why do they take so f*cking long getting change from their purse at the f*cking counter????

Ruu_Old

Some seem to think I owe them something alright. *kicks walker*

Yup, because a higher proportion of old people seem to be angry, bitter, vindictive or viscious than younger people. After a conversation with an old person I can only draw the conclusion that life makes you horrible eventually. This is besides the fact that they remind me that should I by some miracle manage to convince my liver and lungs to live past a certain age I'll be almost totally physically dependent on my family. Thankfully I only have one grandparent left and she doesn't move very fast so it's easy to avoid conversation with her.

I think poisonous bastards live longer. All the cool people die from cool stuff.

I hate when your having a conversation with them and they'll repeat the same thing about 3 times...Really hate that

Run_to_da_hills

Just deprive them of their medical cards and that will get rid of them quick.

shenanigans1982

Yes they are the most inconsiderate and ungreatful people. I now refuse to give up my seat on a bus for an old person because I have to pay what I consider a lot of f*cking money for a twenty minute journey while they get it for free and also because they never say "thank you".

So all you people who shake your heads every time I ignore their attempts to get my seat take a long hard look at yourself and give up your own f*cking seat.

Lil' Smiler

Some do... I used to find my Nana's constant phone calls irritating just before she was diagnosed with alzheimers, then I became more tolerant and just had fun with it.

I did really really want to push one though 2 weeks ago. Had just been to the physio because of a bad back problem, was still quite sore from the work done on it. Was visiting my 2 grandparents who both have alzheimers & this ould one comes along behind me as I am trying to talk to my Nana, she WHACKED me 3 times with a rolled up RTE guide VERY hard in the back... of course on the right spot.

Apparently she used to be a school Principal..and is/was a Nun..scary b*tch!

You're one of those people that thinks that we should respect all old people without them earning it..aren't you?

Well it's not that remote a possibility. I show respect when it's shown to me. I've known some lovely old people but the truth is that most of them are bloody annoying/ignorant and should die earlier, like nature intends.

irlirishkev

I can't wait till till I'm old enough to be considered part of the 'old people'.
Oh yes.. the thought of annoying so many people by not doing anything other than going about my daily business, frankly, sounds like heaven.

As it is now, most people younger than me, students especially, bother the nuts off me, but I find it hard to get on their nerves.

Roll on old age. I'll have a fcuking field day!

When I was in first year this ancient nun decked my mate Pat, he screamed like a girl, more in suprise than pain I think. She was truly evil (actually I'm pretty sure she's STILL alive), used to teach speech and drama, and insisted that an Erskine Childers style west brit accent was the only correct way to recite Frost, or Kavanagh, which can't have been right. The power of christ/satan was the only thing keeping her alive, by the time I left the school she could only see or hear you if you were standing right in front of her. Cue a load of lads leaning our the upstairs windows shouting smut at her as she hobbled around the yard looking for people to hit.

Summerjones

Why do nuns seem to fall in to only two categories. Absolute evil satanic biatches or lovely, sweet, gentle souls.

Galvasean

I want to get a sign to strap to myself saying "Yes, I know it's cold" for when I'm working in the shop. I know it's frickin' cold. Damn oldies.. probably can't even see the sign... *grumbles*

You will be old some day yourself and then you will wish pople would have respect for you.

Probably the difference between those who were sent to a nunnery by their parents because they kissed a boy when they were 15 and those who wanted to be nuns due to a genuine will to help people.

Yes but if I have to get old, I'll be badass and interesting like I am now and not be an ignorant tool to everyone I come across. That's how it works now, people are nice when you're nice to them.

Galvasean

I once met an old guy on a train who told me loads of really cool RAF war stories. Probably all complete BS but they were great stories!

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5

The oldest cool person I know is 60, he's a cantankerous bastard but he always has been. Recovered alcoholic, bi-lingual, curly haired donegal guy who runs a leather workshop in rural clare and does a nifty sideline in handcuffs and whips and stuff. Also a raging communist. And he got gored by a cow in India. Fuppin legend, hope he doesn't suddenly turn horrible and whingey.

They should be moved outside of the city, as they cause imperfection.

Generalisationsville!! Jesus wept!

As an above poster said, we'l all be tucking our tits into our socks ourselves one day!

The only time I have a problem with certain (see what I did there-lol) old people is when they act like fcucking know it all's.

flynnser19

i get called nasty for hating old people but they wreck my head!!!soo annoying and not very nice atall!!!i work on a hotel reception and they come in and ask me stupid questions regularly!!!and then when i worked in the bank i had even bigger problems with them there i get angry just thinking about it lol

Gaspode

I'm old and I dont like young people. Why wont they slow down? Why are they all such impatient, impertinent dcikheads? Why do they smell of 'product'? I hate that I have to repeat everything three times before they get it into their thick skull. Maybe it's they're up their own ****pipe most of the time?

:eek:Anyway there I was in the Q for the bank when this auld grannie says to me"Young people like you are a shower of cnunts,you know fcuk all about anything,you couldn't even fcukin tell me what county Askeaton is in"Wrong missus, says I, its in fcukin Tipperary and who gives a fcuk anyway,we can just google the cnunt ,can't we"

"Well you can Google all you want you smelly fcuker ,but its in Limerick,you young gimps know shagg all, without that fcukin interweb, or whatever the fcuk it's called,you have Facebook,You Tube, My Space,Spank my hole" and the rest, but you lot know fcuk all .

All you do is spend your time wankin those mobiles and spongin off your parents when REAL people like me were payin 18% tax to ensure fcukers like you survived!!
You say you are in "College" when in reality it's a "Nail Bar and make up course" you are paying for yourself,you expect your parents to fund you to go "travelling"and bore the hole off people like me when you stagger back lumping your parents with even more debt!!

"Fcuk off you sour bitch" says I "you're just jealous"

"jealous of fcukin what "Gimpy fcuker queuing up for a loan with fcuk all prospects over the next ten years"

"Quit the shapin' an arse boxing and do a bit of fcukin work for a living and then complain you sack of shíte"

Your "badass and interesting" when you are 80 will be equivalent to the "rakish scoundrel" of a modern 80 year old.

banquo

Old men are cool, it's old women that are the nightmare.

I've worked behind a few shop counters in my life, and nothing can prepare you for old female customers.

They have no memory. In a queue of 5 or 6, it will not occur to them in places 6 through 2 that 'Hey, I remember this. There's some kind of transaction at the end of this process. I'd better get my 9 euros in coppers out NOW and save some time!'. Instead, they hobble up, hand over their 2 apples and a coupon and stare at you blankly, as if the onus is one you to perform the next action. At this point you can see a kind of race going on between their brain and the expression on their face. Money please.

Argument about the price of the apple ensues; the coupon will be for Tesco when they're shopping in Dunnes; they will not understand this; they will ask why the apple is so 'expensive'; they will haggle, claiming depreciation in the quality of the apple; it goes on.

It is old people who, while you're wearing your Tesco uniform but are shopping in dunnes, won't believe that you don't work there.

They will not understand that you may not return items of clothing to Tescos that you purchased in dunnes.

you can not return anything after 28 days. Especially not a scratched cd in a broken box after 104 [!] days.

I do not know:

(a) If the item you want but we don't stock is available in dunnes, or
(b) the price of that item in dunnes, if they have it, of which I have absolutely no idea. I do not work in dunnes. You are not in dunnes.

Of course we do not sell jewellery.

"Aisle 6" does not mean "Aisle 17". Please end your protracted tour of Tesco Maynooth and go to Aisle 6.

If you break something in to hundreds of tiny pieces then *tell me*. Please DO NOT hide it behind a saucepan on a top shelf so I can get 453 shards of dusty clay in my face.


They have asked me, 'What kind of balloons do you have?', and, 'My PC got a virus. Can I return it?'

They also lack all powers of description. Consider the following, recent example.

Lady: Do you have T-Lights?
Me: Maybe. What are T-Lights?
Lady: Well they're.. they're lights?
Me: what kind of lights?
Lady: Um.. they're 'not big'
Me: Um.. How big is 'not' big?
Lady: You're telling me that you work here and you don't know what T-Lights are?
Me: Maybe if you describe them to me I can find out for you?
Lady: Ah no... They're difficult to descibe. [<- important comment]

15min later, it turns out that T-Lights are just small candles about the size of a 2 euro coin.


They also pose problems, without suggesting any kind of possible solution.

Old, very old Lady: (in old grandma simpson voice) I forgot my shopping list.
Me: Ooo..kaay... can I help you with anything in perticular?
Lady: (long pause) ... I'm doing my shopping
Me: I understand, would you like me to help you find something?
Lady: (another long pause) ... i forgot my shopping list...


I spent one morning trying to dig out a 2euro coin from the coffee machine with a screwdriver because a stupid lady actually thought it was coin-operated and dropped the coin in through the top of it.

Not so recently, a lady asked me if she could pay with a Tesco Clubcard:
1. We are not Tesco's
2. We only accept cash
3. Even if we were Tesco's and did accept debit and credit cards, you still can't pay with one, it's just a loyalty card. For Tesco's.


Old people have an interesting effect on my blood pressure.

towel401

you really didn't know what a tealight was?

its tealight. not t-light

there's a circular yoke you can buy that has a few holes in it and you put the candles into it and it keeps the tea warm when you put the teapot on top of it.

I'm confused ... is it Dunnes or Tesco or both you worked in?

And jaysus, the poor old sod... It's tea-lights, not T-Lights.. did you really not know that?

I find a lot of elderly ladies can be very rude. Despite their size and frailty they can move pretty quickly to get in front of me in the ques in the supermarket/post office etc.

I think the over 80's should be gassed. Except anyone related to me.
