You’re not wise… you’re simple minded and stuck in the olden days.
Not all old people are the same. Of course some old people are alright or even cool. Sadly, this is not the case for most of them. They are overwhelmingly selfish, offensive, arrogant and generally a pain in the ass.
You would think, after 80 years of living, they would have learnt that the world doesn’t revolve around them. Strangely enough, they appear to become more and more up themselves the older they get. Take the queen for example. She’s a totally useless part of today’s society, yet she believes she is the best thing in the whole world.
Old people try to force their pointless olden day traditions on the younger generations like “men must take their hats off inside but women can keep theirs on”. Apparently this was initially brought about so men couldn’t hide weapons in their hats when they go into your house. This is a stupid rule that should never have been invented because someone can easily hide a weapon anywhere else in their clothing. Kids have identified this rule to be useless and therefore they do not abide by it. Younger generations should be free to do what they see as appropriate. This is how change comes about and progression occurs.
The main problem with old people is that they think they are owed respect just because they are older. This is really hard for me to understand. After all, we are the taxpayers who pay for their pensions. Shouldn’t they be the ones owing respect to us?
I was on the train the other day sitting in the seat which is required to be given to pregnant, disabled or elderly people upon request. The train was not crowded at all and there were spare seats all over the place. An old woman boards the train and requests for me to give her my seat.. wtf! Firstly, she can obviously sit in another seat that isn’t taken. Secondly, she has paid for a concession ticket and I have paid full fair. Therefore, I should have priority when it comes to deciding where to sit.
Why are they allowed a cheaper ticket anyway? They take up the same amount of space or sometimes even more than anyone else. Is it because they don’t earn as much money? I’m a full time uni student and I am not allowed to get concession tickets because they don’t offer them for uni students. I can’t earn very much money because I’m too busy studying yet I’m forced to buy full fair train tickets.
Why are old people treated so well even though they treat the rest of us like dirt? It’s time for them to realise that they need us, we don’t need them. So treat younger people with respect and stop thinking that you’re owed something just because you’re old.
