That is a true statement, and the reason my Dad decided against buying a home there!

maybe in pain

It's the accumulation of all the outward stimulation consisting of crap built up over the years coming from other people, jobs, environmental factors,etc. Finally you just have enough and become a smug, righteous smart ass who quite frankly doesn't give a rat's ass what they say or who they say it to. You've got to respect an older, cantankerous person completely off their rocker that tells it like it is!

it's funny to me

you spend your whole life learning what life is all about.

Then when you finally get old and figure it all out, you're too crabby to tell anyone

Quiet, just give me a hint, please!

I find that if you are crabby when old, then most likely you were just as much a jerk when you were young.

the answers to life are hidden somewhere in the fish thread

lol! That was kinda the reason why i started it.

Humm could it be that a lot of the younger generation has failed to learn what respect is? Could it be that they have tried all their lives to be nice and have respect for others and ended up getting stepped on and ignored. So now they feel like why should I care about you're feelings you sure the heck don't care about mine. Therefore they have had enough.


It amazes me though I have found young or old if you treat them with Respect and Kindness it will be returned.

So maybe it's not just the old ones but.......the ones talking to them as well.

Probably cause a the silly questions they keep getting
over and over and over and over...



j/k

it is physical. google geriatric depression....

*****note

the older people are not grumpy

the younger people just want cottaled and babied

and have no concerns for the feelings of others as a result of their actions

this would make anyone seem grumpy


***there are always exceptions to any generalization

I cant wait to ask someone to change my diaper!!!

ummm... i need a little help over here w/my attends!!

If your prostate was the size of a grapefruit and your tits hung to your knees and your naps kept getting interrupted you'd be a crabby old fart too. Throws colostomy bag at gypsys head and doesn't miss.

My parents are 70 and they aren't grumpy. We laugh a lot.

<---swigs geritol and waves cane around like a weapon.

<--- jumps in motorhome and drives slow in the left lane. Throws velveeta cheese slices at cars that honk.

HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

I work with old people. There are some that are nice and some that arent. Its all attitude. Ive asked the families of the old crabs what they were like when young and most of them have said worse.
