The elderly are annoying..

Anyone else agree? They never shut the hell up and they always have to remind us of the past and what it was like in their day. Then there always creeping up on you when your not looking, so your always looking over your shoulder waiting for them to sneek up on you. They're good people but they are real annoying.

 

I talk to a -lot- of older people every day....and yes, more than half do tend to be a bit annoying.
But I've met some great people this way too - one being an older gentlemen who helped inspire me to take my Journey in five years. Gotta do it case-by-case, my friend.

 

Do you think you'll be any different when/if you reach a ripe old age?

 

I love old people. I think some of them are sweet and they tell cool stories!

 

I love old people, too. They're fascinating. And if they're bitchy, you can't help but feel for them, because it often shows how they feel about their pasts.

 

I never said I hated them, all I said was that they tend to be annoying. Your right alot of them are funny and smart but they tend to be on the annoying side. And I will most likely be like them when I get older but I'm not looking forward to being uncontrollably annoying.

 

Its when they take their false teeth out that I cant handle !
and especially if they keep em in a jar in the bathroom
Its easy to keep them amused though just keep looking and smiling and then move your mouth as though youre talking but dont make any noise and they think theyve gone totally deaf - then shout at the top of your voice when they start tampering with the sound on their earpiece - hmm they like that, and they really love it when you play their favourite jimmy hendrix tracks that made them deaf in the first place
Buy a granny a teeshirt that says something outrageous on it
but only on the back - so theyre walkin around the care home with "F*** the police" written on their back - always good for a cackle that one is

If one of them is waiting at a red light infront of you and you want a laugh just honk the car horn really long and loud - they will panic and pull out into 4 lanes of oncoming traffic and start driving faster than you ever saw an oldie drive before

 

I use to hate waiting on elderly people when they came into the resturant I worked at and I thought they were so freakin demanding and annoying, but then I thought of my ole granny. She is the eptiome of demanding and annoying but I love that women to death and she's one of my best friends. So, when I start to feel like I'm going to get short with them I just imagine that was my granny and take it into consideration when dealing with them.

 

Also old people leave everyone tons of money when they die - and even if they do cackle a lot and talk about the guy they wished theyd married rather than your grandad - its worth remembering that they wont be around much longer so take care of the grannie
and the will will take care of itself

 

lmfao

that is fuckin' hilarious! hahaha.

 

Hey!-----I resemble -I mean resent those remarks>

 

I agree with hgh238

 

............................... i hope that this is all a joke....

but if not, how come it's ok to generalise and insult a group of people based on age? Look at the above posts and change the term 'old poeple' with a certain race, gender or sexuality and most people would accuse you of being a bigot.

the same goes for age - I think discrimination based simply on someone's age is horrible. 'The elderly' aren't annoying - some are, just as some younger people are annoying...but saying they all are is ageism....and that's a real type of discrimination and a huge problem especially in Western cultures. It actually leads to an increse in in depression in older people...

 

Yeah another good one is to start complaining to your grannie about how young people are terrible these days and youre so glad that you dont act like all your friends, and how your parents are marvelous - they believe it and then give you loads of money to put in the bank but you just go out and blow it all on partying out for a week ! oh but then if you buy your granny some flowers out of the money she gives you a load more cash -
grannies are like a cash machine from outer space.
My granny was definately from another planet

 

some old people are annoying sure and some are mean and grumpy, but most old people are funny and make me laugh, like my crazy grandparents.

 

i love older people also, they tell it to straight. i find most younger people are always full of crap and just trying show you how cool they are.

 

An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of religious service when she was startled by an intruder. As she caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables, she yelled, "Stop! Acts 2:38!" (..turn from your sin...) The burglar stopped dead in his tracks.
The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done. As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, "Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you."

"Scripture?" replied the burglar, "She said she had an AXE and two 38's!"

 

An elderly woman went into the doctor's office.
When the doctor asked why she was there, she replied, "I'd like to have some birth control pills."

Taken aback, the doctor thought for a minute and then said, "Excuse me, Mrs. Smith, but you're 72 years old. What possible use could you have for birth control pills?"

The woman responded, "They help me sleep better."

The doctor thought some more and continued, "How in the world do birth control pills help you to sleep?"

The woman said, "I put them in my granddaughter's orange juice every morning and I sleep better at night."

 

An elderly couple, she was 85, he was 90, decided that they would take advantage of modern science to conceive another child. They discussed it with a fertility expert who said it was indeed possible. The doctor gave the couple a jar and asked them to return a semen sample the next day.
The next day, the couple presented the doctor with an empty jar. The husband apologized, "I tried my right hand...I tried my left hand...My wife tried her right hand...My wife tried her left hand. She took her teeth out and used her mouth. We still couldn't get the lid off the jar."

 

Shirley and Sophie are elderly widows. One day they see a new, nice looking guy come into the indoor swimming pool of a building with them.
Sophie says, "Shirley you know I'm shy. Can you go over to the other side of the pool and try to get to know about that guy."

Shirley goes over to the other side and asks the guy "Are you single?"

"Yes, but I been in prison."

"Why?"

"I strangled my third wife."

"What about your second wife?"

"I got in a fight with her and she fell out the window."

"And your first wife?"

"I shot her."

Then Shirley calls to the other side to Sophie and says "Yoo hoo, he's single!"
