growing up with grandparents, i've never had a problem accepting "old" people. they have a lot to offer us young punks. but unfortunately, they dont get the respect they deserve. for the most part, they're warm and caring folk. call you son or dear. cheerful and polite. unlike all the other jackholes out there. perhaps being nice comes after you hit 55. but have you ever seen an old man or lady get their feelings hurt by some jackass 20 something year old in public. they have this child like look on their face, confused cuz they didnt think they did anything wrong. and then embarrassed. and many older folk i've talked to feel as if young people dont care about them. they feel liek because they dont use computers or iphones or have gps in their cars, that we look down on them. shame on every single person who does that. i AM judging you assholes. one day you will old. one day you will be that person that someone half yoru age talks down to or gets mad at while driving. take a good look at your futures. have some damn respect. do you have grandparents? how would you like it if someone was talking crap and making your grandparent feel liek a child.someone who doesnt know them at all and is just upset because they're starbucks ordering pros and your little ol grandpa just wants a coffee and unlike us, pays for his item in cash..that he earned through years and years of hardwork. sometimes i unintentionalloy make my own grandpa feel bad. he gets a bit frazzled, especially when my grandma leaves us to go to thailand. my grandpa is one of the main reasosn i came home. you just dont abandon your cancer tortured grandpa thats been there your whole life. and while he is fairly up to par with his technology, setting up certain things can be difficult, especialy cuz he just got a new computer. again. hes totally NOT that old. for being 70ish give or take a year or two, he acts like hes in his 40s. still rides his motorcycle and everything. hes very VERY smart. very sharp. but there will be those times where we go somewhere and i'll let him like order his own food or something and the dickhead behind me is getting weird cuz he doesnt order like everyone else. boo fucking hoo. old people dont rattle off a venti quad half caff 8 pump vanilla soy mocha light whip double cup no foam upside down on a spinning plate with monkeys dancing behind the counter. shut the fuck up, wipe that dickish look off your face and wait your ass in line.
i'm a big fan of old people. but thats just me. they dont even seem "old." we're all people. put aside the really mean ones that just hate the world. but i see them as old grumpy people that must have had/are having really hard times to deal with.
but its funny, if an old person is like that, i'm like whatever. if someone thats like under 50 is being stupid or a dick or irritable, i say fuck you, jackhole. i vent a lot and i'm easily set off when it comes to respect person to person. and i dont act like a bitch unless someone else acts shitty to me. i dont like a lot of people. most people. but that attitude just comes from working at starbucks/in customer service anything. but really, would you talk shit or bitch to your own grandparents if they drove slowly or took longer than you do to fill out a deposit slip at the bank?
if you do, i dont want to know you. you don't value much.
