What kind of elderly person will you be?

liah

Will you be..

1. The racist bastärd forever harping on about "dem foreigners" and the "state of the place"?

2. The pervert with a conveniently placed newspaper who hangs out in front of the colleges and winks at all the underdressed girls?

3. The vaguely chauvinistic gentleman who holds open doors and makes polite conversation?

4. The rambler who tells his grandchildren about how "back in MY day, boards.ie only had 10 forums, and everyone still thought Tar was a boy.."?

5. The too-polite old biddy who offers tea and won't take no for an answer, taking personal offence if you refuse a biscuit?

6. The Catholic who goes around shaking their head at all the sinners, frequently making comments such as "well I'll say a prayer for ye" whether the person in question likes it or not?

7. The one who seems to not quite be "all there," but sometimes you can't help but wonder if it's all an act to see if they get away with it?

8. The legitimately insane one who insists your name is Engelbert, no matter how many times you tell them what your real name is?

9. The quirky aul one who comes out unexpectedly with curses and sex talk?

or..

10. The one who grumbles about the "youth of today," has had the same pair of slippers for 20 years, and shakes their cane at passersby when they come too close to the garden?

I'll be too busy working struggling to make ends meet, what with all the pension reforms and whatnot, to care about much else.

Will you be..

1. The racist bastärd forever harping on about "dem foreigners" and the "state of the place"? No

2. The pervert with a conveniently placed newspaper who hangs out in front of the colleges and winks at all the underdressed girls? Sounds fun. Maybe.

3. The vaguely chauvinistic gentleman who holds open doors and makes polite conversation? Do that anyhoos.

4. The rambler who tells his grandchildren about how "back in MY day, boards.ie only had 10 forums, and everyone still thought Tar was a boy.."? No

5. The too-polite old biddy who offers tea and won't take no for an answer, taking personal offence if you refuse a biscuit? Erm, no. Unless it somehow fits into number 1 above.

6. The Catholic who goes around shaking their head at all the sinners, frequently making comments such as "well I'll say a prayer for ye" whether the person in question likes it or not? Hell no :P

7. The one who seems to not quite be "all there," but sometimes you can't help but wonder if it's all an act to see if they get away with it? It ain't all there now, so yeah, I'll be the crazy one.

8. The legitimately insane one who insists your name is Engelbert, no matter how many times you tell them what your real name is? No.

9. The quirky aul one who comes out unexpectedly with curses and sex talk? Sounds fun.

or..

10. The one who grumbles about the "youth of today," has had the same pair of slippers for 20 years, and shakes their cane at passersby when they come too close to the garden? Replace cane with gun. Also, see number 8

GeturGun

This one. I'm proud of my chauvinistic ways of engaging in polite conversations.

TPD

Bitter and possibly homicidal right before the end. If I'm diagnosed with a terminal shítness and have the opportunity to steal a tank, society had better look out.

Whether I like it or not, I guess I will be the grumpiest, cynical, uncaring, self-centered focker around.

Because, as I'm growing older, with every day that passes, my eyes get opened yet another bit to the basic fact that nobody gives a shyte about anything but their own interest.

I plan to fit in perfectly in about another 10 years or so.

I want to be this old fella, lucky bastard!!!

"A 29-year-old Polish blonde has declared she will marry a pensioner more than 40 years her senior after a judge dismissed charges against him yesterday.
'Bog Hotel' owner Patsy Brogan (72) emerged victorious from court after the prosecution against him -- for failing to comply with an enforcement order to restore a shed on his property to its original use -- was dismissed."

I'm the same. I might do a Hunter S. Thompson on it..

"No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun — for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax — This won't hurt."

Irish_wolf

Probably a mix of 7 and 8 unless I win the euromillions, then I'll probably be one of those hugh hefner types (hopefully).

sbsquarepants

I hope something like this


But its more likely something like this

ChocolateSauce

I'll be a mix of 9 and 10.

Michaelrsh

I'll never be an elderly person, I'll be dead before I'm 45.:)

admiralofthefleet

dasdog

I'm going to feign loads of illnesses and sell on my medication to the young un's.

I'm also going to cause lots of trouble be it in a nursing home or with the garda as I possibly can.

I also plan to take up heroin if I reach the age of 75 or thereabouts.

milnerrm
