Don't ya just love the elderly??

[jb190281]

I don't! A local elderly woman, alcoholic at that, has just called me a "lazy fat cow" because I couldn't help her with her bags.

In my defence, I had 3 of my own bags and a fluffin obvious bump developing. Fat and lazy I ain't.....

[redman41]

She has probably been a grumpy person all her life, the fact that she is elderly is no excuse for her to be rude......

It was not I ☺

[jb190281]

[jb190281]

I'm hoping to be insulted by at least 3 more people by the end of the week

I have just answered your thread about a full week - my posting is very relevant to not knowing which way is up jb! Maybe I am that elderly alcoholic...............................
(but I would never have been so rude to you ♥)

At least she spoke to you - my gran mostly communicates through a complex system of 'tuts' and 'hmm''s these days. Has obviously decided to live her life by the adage' if you haven't anything nice to say, don't say anything at all'.

[jb190281]

Awww bless ya ttfn, how are you anyway?

[jb190281]

Yinyang, this woman was a random stranger, I couldntve cared less if she said zilch

[yinyang]

Sorry jb, was just having a little moan about my gran while I got the chance. As Redman said, this woman has probably been rude all her life; it was just your bad luck to be the one on the receiving end today.

All the better hearing from you jb! Your posting has reminded me of many years ago when I was doing the the big Christmas shopping for my parents. I came out of the supermarket just before they closed, tired, wet (it had been pouring down all day) with about 5 laden bags in each hand. There was a Father Christmas (some twerp from the local Round Table) trying to collect for charity and he was barring my exit from the shop. I tried to step around him and he kept changing tack determined he could appeal to my better nature. He shook his collecting tin right in front of my face and with a ho-ho-ho told me he was collecting for elderley people to which I replied 'Good, there are 2 at home you can have'. He stepped aside and I walked back to my car with knuckles scraping the tarmac but a wicked smile on my face. Bah, humbug!

I wish I'd had a come back of sorts but I just ignored her!

Then you are more a lady than am I!

One xmas at work, a regular elderly customer came in with a packet of shortbread for the staff. She asked if there were any books in for her and when my colleague apologised and said no, the packet of shortbread was almost thrown at her with the words ' here, I hope you choke on it'. There are some right charmers out there aren't there? ;)

Yes .. Deserves a good spanking for that, I would have thought Karen : x

[China Doll]

I don't see why being elderly should make me dislike them.... I dislike most people on principal ;0)
