"There is this weird type of traditional Vietnamese music my parents said that only old people like and they could not stand it either. A decade later and apparently they enjoy it. I await my turn in fear."

 

"I’ve reached the tipping point. I love my hedge and some drunk kid fell in it. Big hole. Will take four years to grow back. This ‘get off my lawn’ moment awakened the old in me."

"In my country (Brazil), old people sit in front of their houses and do absolutely nothing for hours, just watching people and cars go by. This is more common for lower social class, for instance my grandma and her friends gather everyday at someone’s door and just sit there until the night comes (they are retired)."

 

"Oldie here… I worked for a Canadian clothing store called Marks. I used to point our new arrivals to my daughter to see if she liked them, and she would say “Ugh. Those are old people clothes!” One day she came in, looked around and said “You guys are starting to get some pretty good stuff.” I laughed because nothing had really changed, and watched the expression on her face change as it slowly dawned on her."

"Watching the news constantly"

 

"Sitting hours behind those slot machines"

 

"Fine china and silverware. It’s pretty in the way anything made in bulk can be, it’s expensive, has very little resale value, fragile as f@#k, and virtually useless unless you’re trying to impress another old person."

 

"Facebook – adding your own name to a comment like “great photos, love Mum and John”. I f@#king know it’s you Maureen, it shows me your name when you comment."

 

"Soap operas. I get bored after 30 mins how does someone watch 500 episodes."

 

"Oh my god, just sitting down in my recliner is glorious. Younger people may think I’m nuts but I have so much stuff going on, it’s nice to just sit down and relax"

 

"Obsessed with the weather. My partner’s grandmother house sat while we were away for a trip and made sure to record the weather details for us of every day we were gone."

 

"Asian kid growing up with grandparents using Eagle Brand green ointment like it’s cologne. Never understood it. Now that I’m older, every muscles hurts after hitting 30!! And I’m using the ointment like it’s holy water!"

 

"Walking around naked in the gym locker room"

 

"Everyone who learned to drive before GPS still love having in-depth conversations about alternative routes, even if they now use their phone’s maps and can see all the different options and about how long each would take."

 

"Thank-you notes. As a kid, I thought as long as you thank someone in person, there’s no need to write a note specifically to thank them again.

But when I do receive such a note, it makes me think that person is super kind and thoughtful, a genuinely good soul."

 

"They love to refuse to learn new things insisting that they just can’t."

 

"Writing checks in the supermarket line"

 

"Touching stranger’s babies"

 

"Asking people when they’re getting married and having kids… I’m 27 and it’s incessant from my grandparents and mother."

 

"I’m a window cleaner and have a lot of elderly customers. Over the years I’ve found they LOVE to be the first one to tell me one of the neighbors has died. To the point where if I say ‘yeah, Thelma already let me know’, they look genuinely disappointed and annoyed that they weren’t the one to break the news to me."

$16 It's not that we can't, it's we got better things to do than learn that worthless cr#p. Like laying in my adjustable bed with the vibration on while watching Golden Girl reruns. I think the kids call that binge watching.
