I don�t hate old people; far from it�.the old ones are the best�.so go date a pensioner. No, don�t, that stench of urine and rich tea biscuits just doesn�t wash out. Anyhow, I�m not one of those little shits that terrorises old people for kicks�.loses its appeal after a while. Though I respect the elderly as upstanding members of society many of them piss me off. Here is my story that illustrates this point�.
I was in a shop, what I was buying doesn�t matter, all that matters is I was there. In this shop there was a foreign woman serving from behind the till. It appears she was having a good day, she stood there smiling. That�s nice I thought. I remember this as I dislike most people. So I made my decision on what I was going to purchase, I was just about to pay, but I let (what I thought was) a nice old lady through. She accepted and went ahead to pay�just to think this story wouldn�t happen if I hadn�t have offered my queue place. She went to pay for something I think it was bread and cigarettes. Anyhow, when the girl said how much this old woman replied �you what?� So the foreign woman repeated the price trying to make her voice as English as possible. Still the old woman didn�t understand�to be fair I think she was taking the piss. I repeated the price, I wanted to get home and this hag was ruining my plan of achieving this by holding up the queue. She looked in horror. �That much?� she wailed. �I remember�� she started as she reeled off the number of things you could have bought with the pitiful �4.50 she was being charged back in her day, you know the usual milk, bread, house, car, television, cuddly toy etc. This went on for at least 3 minutes and that�s too long to hear whiny old people talk about anything�I wanted to backhand her, but then I thought �I�d kill her and I can�t go to prison at my age, I�d be eaten alive, with a face like mine�� and the slightest slap from my pimp hand would definitely kill someone old, so I just waited�.and waited�and waited. By this time it got a bit heated, the woman started using racist terms to the cashier on till. But this wasn�t the helpless immigrant I thought it was, she came back with a scathing attack telling the old woman to go away (on the horse she rode in on, I think was optional). Well this didn�t bother me, women argue all the time, this was until the old woman made a comment that made me think�she screamed at the woman �yeah, but we won the war?�. What the flying fuck? What kind of an argument is that? We won the war? I can kinda see the sense in this in two situations, one if they were arguing over battle history. Tactics, arms etc. Or if the girl was German, then the insult may pack a bit of punch. Thing is, I think the girl was Spanish. I mean in what way does that offend her? Because her country didn�t really take part? I think the old woman thought she�d won the argument�..wrong. She just sounded stupid. We won the war�well "no you didn't" would have been the obvious answer, she was ridiculously old 100 maybe 150 years of age, she was old during the Second World War. She was still crazy then as well. The only question that the statement could have answered is �Who won the war?� and I sure as hell didn�t hear that being asked. Crazy old woman. When will ignorant people (old and young) stop using war to measure achievement, to be proud of this is stupid I�m grateful, and respect the people who fought to defend the common good in a just war, but to use this as a point of discrimination is idiotic. To prove this point I eventually backhanded the old dame to the jubilation of everyone in the shop, they lifted me above their head and we danced in an almost Conga like arrangement�..ah good times. |
