TTPYO - People who won't take things back when they've sold you crap on Ebay
Things that piss you off Page 515
Old people in general.
Old people who clog up supermarket ailes whilst their old biddy friend elsie(124 next birthday) is stood at the side of them while they chat about everything they have done since 1934 - even though they only saw each other last week, though theyve forgot due to dementia.
Also when they expect to be served first in the Post Office or just in normal queues when you have been waiting for ages longer.
The way they demand to be let on the bus first and give you dirty looks when you get on before them(even if you have waited an hour longer) and the way they want to sit exactly where they want on said bus, even when you've sat down they moan and whinge.
the way that they cough and spit all over the place (they could just die and save us all from getting swine flu and worse). They make loud whistling noises in public places and it's always the same f**king tune repeated over and over, or they sing or talk to themselves.
Oh and the smell they give off is repulsive.

Well, what a nasty little, generalising, post that was.
It's what pisses me off that most of them around here seem to have the opinion that they are better than everybody else. It's not my fault they are so rude

They're probably rude because people treat them as though as though they're f**king idiots. Or, more commonly, are just ignored by everybody.
I like old people. They're funny.
They just expect some respect and privilege because things are harder for them to do, yet they don't want to feel patronised and want to maintain their dignity, so it's best just to cut them some slack. (not slacks that they wear. Don't cut them)

I don't treat them like idiots, I'm always polite and respectful. I hold doors open (they hardly ever say thank you). I am well mannered and was brought up as such, but if they don't have respect for other people how can they expect it back? I got shouted at by an old lady once who demanded she went in front of me in the shop. I wouldn't have minded if she had asked in a polite manner but to be made to look like an idiot for no reason by someone was very rude and ill mannered. I was only buying toothpaste, she had a trolley of crap and shouted at me just because I was already in the queue - it's people like her that make me hate them.
And even though she made me look like a twat and other people were looking (they also saw how rude she was) I didn't let her push in.

Many old people are suffering from varying degrees of dementia. They really don't know they're being rude and can't help it. It's one of those things you just have to let go I'm afraid.
It can still piss me off though lols
Ah well, it could be worse, I could be surrounded by flesh eating bugs instead of the nearly dead

I gave up on wireless mice when my last one died about 4 years ago. I had wireless with a ball - just can't get them anymore.

Yeah it's bloody tough. Wait till it's your family member who says rude things a bit too loudly in the supermarket or slags you off and you know they can't help it and you just have to bite your tongue!

My great-gran (sadly no longer with us) needed to get groceries and I took her. She spent 20 minutes trying to decide on what baked beans and creamed corn to buy, only to finally laugh and say, "Oh wait. I don't eat these." I took her home and put her purchases away, only to find an entire cupboard of baked beans and creamed corn. I loved her for that.
My opinion on the elderly is that they truly deserve some slack. To look at how they grew up and compare it with now, I don't know how they all just don't go insane. My gran (who I love more than my own parents) has admitted to being rude, mainly because of the way she gets treated. It's the only way she can stand up for herself.

Good boy!

Oh, I really hate that. Wonder why I bother sometimes. (This one's really not exclusive to old people though.)
Quote: Aaron @ October 5 2009, 2:35 PM BSTGood boy!
Yeah, great, because young people are never arrogant or behave like annoying c**ts, do they?
