really old people freak me out

[Tzar]

they remind me of aliens and dogs.

they don't seem human anymore. :confused:
when i say old, i mean, like, 80+ years and need a motorized cart to get around.

it's freaky cause i work on check-out and when they come through my register, they say hello and stand and stare straight at me.... i don't know why?? it's scary... what are they waiting for? are they afraid i might do something wrong to jepardise their shopping?

and the ones that don't show any emotions and can't even distinguish the difference between a 50 and 20 dollar note..

and all their arthritus(sp)-raped hands, man, i don't want that shit when i'm older - that's another alien-like thing.

i'm paranoid, but sometimes they seem very scary.

/end mild-mannered rant

I know what you're saying. When they're mean and self-righteous, it's hard.

I figure that they're probably in some discomfort.
And they probably don't want to use oxygen or be in those chairs with those hands anymore than you/I want to be.

I try to remember that when they're nasty at me.
They're not all like that though.

There are some old people who belong to the social part of my gym and they're fascinating, and my dad's mall-walking friends are fun to talk with. They're dubious of making contact with young people at first because they need an IN--something that'll help them to trust you--before they open up.

You see a light in their eyes and even despite the fact that they can't get around or do that easily, they're still enjoying life. That's the kind of old I wouldn't mind being.

This thread is really gonna put a damper on EchEwta's morning tea and breakfast burrito routine.

yeah, there's two different types of old people:
- the emotion-less, old fashioned, cant-and-wont-accept-modern-technology ones.
- and the cool ones who don't give a shit about anything and just sit around with their mates and talk about the weather and footy.

i really have a problem with the ones who won't accept technology even if it may help them out with something. and the ones that cry "it used to be cheaper back in my day" - as soon they start that dribbling, i switch off cause it's all the same shite.

An old man with saggy little titties frequents my place of work. I haven't looked down his shirt yet... ;)

Jesus Christ... *slaps forehead*

we have two blokes that come through. they're both easily over 80 years old and they're so fit and in-shape. they don't complain about anything. they have awesome conversations with ya. one bloke...the cunt runs around the store!! and he's like mid-80's. and he bags all the other old people PAHAHA!! it's so funny seeing an old person call another old person an "old git".

Yeah, I have a feeling that those people start being old and acting that way in their 40s and 50s. I posted just this morning about that in another thread. They get all closed minded and judging and kind of mean/bitter. I still try to think that they're in some pain but really, the ones who are like that, I think, are stubborn and they've been working on it for years and years.

I swear, I know those guys. There are two in my neighborhood who have to be 80-85 but they are in amazing shape. AMAZING. They run and have the muscle tone of someone half their age.

My city hosted the Senior Olympics this year. Those people=crazy amazing.

[Tzar]

there was some old lady on the tv who is the world champ in hammer throw and is competing in the senior olympics. that was pretty cool to see/hear about.

the only thing i look forward to when i get really old is doing burnouts and stupid shit in my motorized cart with my mates (if they're still around) and listening to bboys/metallica so young kids notice. :D imagine that... some old cunt with So Whatcha Want being pumped out his house/headphones.

[Tzar]

ohhh!! i just thunked something up!!

imagine how ugly people with shitloads of tats are gonna look when their skin gets all saggy and stuff. people like tommy lee and travis from blink-182. that's gonna looked so fucked up when you hit 70-odd.

[paul jones]

they should bring video games out for old people like ,Queing at the post office for pension, zimmer-frame frogger


stuff like that

I've got friends who do cardiology work so they see lots of chests with tatoos or remnants of them. The one friend says it's like when you leave the Sunday comics sitting out in the sun...everything gets faded and stretched out and you can mostly just see shadows and impressions of the artwork that's there. She tries to make out what the tatoo IS or was but she can't quite see it fully and is often tempted to re-compress their skin just to satisfy her curiosity.
