This is a bit ageist, isn't it? I know a number of really lovely older people. They were all young once, they may have once been young parents, just like today's mums and dads, and could now be much loved grandparents. I feel so sad that people can be so hurtful to older folks. If we're lucky, we may all grow to be old one day.

codswallop · 15/12/2003 14:08

yes they are nice - my parents for eg, but they drive so slowly

Why do they munch constantly?? You get stuck in front of an OAP on the bus and they sit there licking their lips, chewing on nothing, slapping their teeth!! JUST STOP IT!

The noise drives me insane.... it's like they are chewing gum rrrrrrrrrreeaaally loudly.

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY?

Phew.... feel better now.

Not just old people but seem that they are the majority park in mother/baby spaces like they have a god given right? Actually I know the answer to this - it's because they don't realise how bl**dy difficult it is to open a door wide enough to get a struggling screaming 2 year old into a child seat because they never had to do it 'in their day' ooh!! I feel better too! Can you tell this is my pet hate

ah..this thread has made me want to go
"stop being mean". It makes me think of my lovely gran and people going - "get a move on grandma" if she was doddering along the road.

I hope you all get put into an old peoples home that smells of wee and people drive really close up to your car flashing their lights when you get a bit lost and drive slowly.

I like old people.
