Thursday, December 4, 2008 by storm347 | Discussion: Community
What is it about me and the elderly?Iwent to my corner store this morning to get my coffee and newspaper.
I know the owner pretty well considering i have lived in the area since childhood .As we were chatting while i waited in comes an elderly gentleman.the owner and i spoke he paid us no mind just bumped me aside no excuse me or anything.he was in a hurry to play his pick 3 before 1:oo pm this afternoon.mind you i was not in the pick 3 line. 
I don't get it i'm nice to the elderly i help carry bags,open doors am always polite.Or mabey i just look like an easy target.
I am beginning to think the elderly are not good for my health hmm. 
or i just got to close to the pickit machine mustn't stop anyone from getting rich

You ought to try living in Florida. G-d's waiting room.
My late wife and I back in 1988 went looking for an apartment there. We saw a pretty building. We went into the renting office and were asked, "Are those two children yours?" (like, you can rent them?...like they were a differnt species) We said yes...and were told "This is an Adult Community". I looked at the woman and said...this is a single building. Where I come from a building isn't a "Community".
She hastened to explain that no children were allowed in the building except to visit.
I remnarked how nice it was that they now have special buildings for infertile people.
Honestly...storm it would be funny if the tyrrany of the elderly weren't a real and costly thing.
i know what you mean i just choose not to get mad anymore life is too short
my mom used to say respect your elders which i try to still do but its not always easy lol
and yes its a conspiracy and you just bumped into me

True story:
Miami Beach 1987. Driving to the Hospital, I was following a HUGE assed car with this tiny crescent of bald head driving (like he was maybe 5'4" on stilts) when he stops in the middle of the intersection of Collins and 104th St.
I stopped and waited....5 minutes later he's still there....I thought, "Oh shit, he stroked or died." So, I get out of the car and tap on his window. Tiny face with beer bottle glasses turns and looks at me, so I asked, "Are you OK?". He answered, "I retired!".
I think that at a certain age appropriateness, manners and taste go out the window. This is the reason for the Second Amendment. Let no one tell you different.

Insurance claim - True statement: I saw the sad faced old gentleman, as he bounced off the hood of my car.
My Dad showed me a page full of those when I was a kid lol
