First of all, I am in no way sexist, racist or any of that kinda craic. But is any one else of the opinion that older ladies are THE most annoying people on the feckin planet?!!! I have some very good reasons for this claim. And I have taken these from the wealth of experience that is my life. I have always tried to keep…

Not nessecarily... women can be just as easily distracted. And when you do exams, you;re only concentrating on one thing anyway. What else is there to concentrate on...?

I'm talking about in classrooms and studying too - not just in exams. There are many things to get distracted by in an exam.

Anyway, back on topic. Old people are a part of life - deal with it.

Not really. Lateral thinking would have shown one that there is more ways of getting to the top than giving 2 years of your life over to the Leaving Cert. A qualification that in this day and age is essentially worthless.

Nope no problem with old women at all.Worked in a Supermarket for a few years and i found that its more like 90% are pleasant and obvioulsy you get the small amount bad as in every age group.We will all be there someday ourselves its inevitable,unless you kick the bucket young.I dont think its right to give out about someone because of the natural ageing process.

This is a forum where you talk about stuff. Thats all.
Stop taking me so seriously and telling me to "deal with it"!!! :mad:

I just find them annoying in certain aspects. Same way I find some of you people annoying because you think I absoloutely hate old people and wish they were dead or somethin!!! And the same way I find it annoying when buses are late. I DO DEAL WITH IT!!! Its just an observation.

And its true.

Like I said at the start, I dont think EVERY old woman is like that. Just about 90% of them.
And its not like discrimanation at all. It is a fact.

Fact, huh? Guess you'll be publishing your in-depth research and survery results on the web for us all to see sometime soon..

Its just an observation.

Oh, it was a fact a few hours ago. It's almost like you don't know what you're talking about..

Ohhhh, *so* annoyed today. I was driving back from Galway in a hurry, having driven down and back in the day, and as I was coming up the new motorway into Dublin I passed a young lad in a nasty little car - a meecra or civic or something, with a roofrack.

He looked over in horror and disgust at the fact that he'd been passed by a middle-aged woman, and as soon as I'd tucked my car back into the *driving* lane five or six cars up, he got out and into the *passing* lane, and sat there at 60mph for the next half hour. And I was bid to dinner!

I really, really hate the way young men drive - so thick and selfish, and sooooo dull.

Ah leave the old people alone. They know if they move too fast they risk heart attacks/other potentially lethal accidents so they have to take everything slowly. They're just attempting to prolong their life. You will too someday.

point 2 - why do you think girls are better at boys at the leaving cert?

Its mainly due to the fact that the average age for girls beginning puberty is two years younger than boys. This gives them a great deal more mental maturity. Coupled with the fact that traditionally girls would be more likely(not generalised definate, just more likely) to write more, being more likely to keep diaries etc. The latter reason although giving an advantage in subjects such as english, history, etc.

40 years ago you'd be trying to get into these now old womens granny knickers. Actually in 40 years you will probably be longing to get into their knickers and definitely wont be giving out about them being slow, you'll need all the time you can get for the viagra to kick in.

Nah, i think the smell of the TCP is used to keep those damned youngsters at bay while they root for their coupons in the supermarket queue. Fairly effective i'd imagine. The life prolonging element is just an added bonus.

You're joking, right...? Teenage girls are much more insecure and vain, which is hardly a sign of maturity. Look at manufactured pop-group fan-bases and the screaming female fans following them around - how is that more mature?

Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

Prehaps not socially mature, but capeable of comprehending concepts at an earlier age then. Besides i doubt anyone could resist the propaganda of today's media.
