Why are old people angry?

    I just so happened to take my lunch today from work at the same time the secondary school take their lunch. There was a group of lads walking together down to the shops and an old women was walking in the opposite direction. The old lady looked shocked, angry and disgusted at the lads that were walking by who were minding their own business and no one except for me noticed the look on the women's face, keep in mind the lads were doing NOTHING except for walking to the shops chatting to each other. The old women then gave a face of disapproval and started muttering words like "troublemakers", "hooligans", etc.

    I've noticed this a good few times before, especially when waiting for public transport. Why are these old people angry? I can understand if the lads were smashing glass bottles against the wall or something but old people, women in particular seem disgusted by the youth of today.

    Because they're old or just have that feeling that they're of no use to society anymore.............maybe.

    I suppose if I took five minutes just to get out of a chair I'd be p*ssed off for the rest of the day.

    Who do they think they are walking down streets.
    Get a hair cut young man and stop making a nuisance of yourself.

    Bet you still grip your keys between your fingers in the pocket when passing them though. :pac: (Yes I'm fully aware that this comment was originally a Dylan Moran joke from his Monster dvd.........)

    Alot of them don't trust/like/are intimitated by groups of young people. So their backs are up on sight of any young rapscallions.

    Lots of old women definitely love to complain. I work in retail and i dread serving them. Nothing is ever good enough for them, if they ask you to recommend a product and you show it to them, they always try to find a fault with it. Fcuking hate dealing with them, shower of cnuts :mad:

    Some old people are legends
    Drunk old people are scary
    Grumpy old people are old and just plain bastards!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,348 ✭✭✭✭ricero


    they are angry because they have saggy balls

    Not all elderly people are angry. But of the ones who are, I'd suspect its a combination of:

    Their bodies and health deteriorating and making them depressed and miserable.

    Growing up in a deeply backward and repressed priest-ridden Ireland and jealous of the freedoms younger people enjoy today that they never had.

    Afraid of change and suspicious of anything new or different.

    Feeling useless to society.

    Being grumpy for the sake of it.

    Remember - most of us will be old and grumpy one day.:pac:

    Why are old people angry?
    Maybe because young people ask occasional stupid questions - some that have obvious answers too?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,029 ✭✭✭PinkFly

    I guess old people are angry that the country they worked so hard for has turned to **** and there's nothing they can do about it.
