Why do pensioners .......
« on January 08, 2011, 09:27:21 pm by Ian H »
I appreciate that I'm a miserable git, but Why do people that have no work to go to (ie Pensioners) go to the supermarket on a Saturday, stroll round, block up the aisles having a chat, then whinge like bas**rds when the tills are busy?

Why don't they go shopping between 9am & 5pm, Monday to Friday?

I appreciate that once the Local Authority cuts have bitten fully and we're all at home during the week this question will need re-wording, but for the time being, if the weekend doesn't exist for you 'cos every day is a day off, why not do your shopping when working folks are actually at work?

I agree, and something that annoys me, why do pensioners take doctors appointments at 830 in the morning or 530 at night.  It's harding enough getting in to the doctors when you work 30 mile away, but when the OAPs are nabbing all the spots, it's not like they don't have any other time to go.

Why do pensioners go commando in my shop and poo on the floor??

I kid you not, we have one old dear, we call her Shitteny..(because she goes drawless on her biddy buggy..remember  THAT photo?) she is very good at leaving little gifts in the aisles, the latest being last Monday...

And why do they have the fooking doctors on speed dial...Have you tried to get an appointment first thing?

Also, why do they think they're f**king invincible when crossing the road?

...and why do they get to the top of escalators and just stop, meaning I have do to some frantic back-pedalling to avoid crashing into them?

They're bloody vicious with shopping trolleys too. No apology usually either. Yet when I accidentally on purpose crash into them in retaliation they don't half go off on one.

I've found \"Sorry, I've got to get somewhere before you die\" usually shuts them up.

I could do time for murder against some of the old gimmers in Morrisons for exactly the reasons said. If any of these mofo's block the pork pie section anymore I'll kick their legs from under them. A man can't get to the Melton Mowbrays anymore  

We haven't even got onto the way they drive yet. They just look down all the time, either at the gears or the pedals or even just the floor. How they arrive from A to B is a mystery to me. One thing for sure is that they leave a trail of carnage behind them in either accidents or frustrated motorists.

When I used to work in Warwick I'd drive on the Fosse Way (a long Roman country road which is difficult to overtake on) and I'd very often get caught up in half mile deep traffic behind pensioners driving at 35-40mph on a 60mph road when those of us of a working age are all trying to get to work on time. Pretty much the same point - Why insist on being on the road in 'rush hour' when you have all day to get where you're going?

They used to get a decent blast of the horn as I finally overtook them, and most of the time I got a half gormless, half 'what?!' type glance out of the window back as if to say they didn't know what the problem was!

Infuriating!

And why do the old dears feel the need to take there teeth out when giving me a nosh? Slightly off putting but I suppose once you get over the initial shock of them spitting out the dentures, a gummy blow job is as good as any.

Oh, and the aromatic scent of old lady urine really does it when i plate one out.

I know we'll all be there someday, but some things older people do are truly dangerous -- like backing up the car and not turning around to see what or who is behind them, just putting the car in reverse, their foot on the gas pedal and hoping for the best.

Also recently at my mother's house I noticed she has food on the shelf in her pantry which is past its expiration date literally by years, even the milk in her fridge is old and sour!  She doesn't want to throw anything out and thinks this is wasting food.

Well I know with mi Mam & Dad whenever they make an appointment to see a Doctor/Dentist, which is quite often, things start going wrong more often when you get to your 70s they always seem to be given appointments first thing in the morning. They'd rather not travel through the rush hour to see a specialist but these blokes are so busy it's the only time slot they can offer.

They make out they're all old and fragile but have you tried snatching a handbag outside the Post Office?

 It's like trying to prise a family bucket off of Rik Waller.

I got run over by a fat old chuff in one of those red chariots in Morrisons' magazine aisle the other week.  The tool just reversed straight into me and kept going.
