Why are the elderly so fking rude

[76561199350324648]

Like for real!! Whether it's me at work assisting them with something or asking them a question or even just trying to walk past them by saying "excuse me", they either will respond very rudely and or give me the dirtiest ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ looks. Y'all think the young generations are so disrespectful, take a closer look at the elders. Trust me, I've met my share of them that were homophobic and even racist too. But I know that not all of them are like that though, some of them are actually also very friendly as well.

They think they're wise. When they may not be...

Old people think they're wise, but have fallen out of touch.

Young people think they're wise, but have no idea what's coming and what's going on.

If people would listen to each other, there would be a solid middle ground.

challenge them to a bout at the king of iron first tournament, they might be heihachi mishima if they are old and rude

Because the older you get, the less patience you have for how other people act.

I can already see in middle age the number of dumb things young people do that should be avoided.

It's worse when they do dumb things and there are no consequences, because then it reinforces their idea that they were correct in doing it.

Like the guy who decided to skip all safety protocols and test uranium by lifting the protective cap with a screwdriver instead of the safety shims, and then was so confident about it, he decided to demonstrate it to several of his colleagues, killing himself and at least one other, while shortening the lives of several others.

Lol not all of them are but the best answer I ever got was from my grand-pa. When I was in my early 20s I asked him why are you always so cranky grand pa? He said when you turn 75 and wake up feeling like you got ran over by a car, can barley walk and can't have sex anymore, I think you would be pretty cranky also.

I just read the title. Nothing you could have written after is worth addressing.

You are either a disrespectful know it all and wouldn't recognize wisdom if it bit you with its wooden teeth or you're hanging out with the wrong crowd.
If you can't figure it out ask an old person. And stop fidgeting. Are you even paying attention? Be useful and mow the lawn or something.

(The above is humor. It is also not)

They spent decades being nice, and working their butt off for what they own. Once you own something, everyone tries to take it from you, now imagine that happening every day for longer than you have been alive. Old people are often in pain as well and that can make them less willing to tolerate disrespect. Treat them normal, and most old folk will treat you decent.

Many of them are senile and were just dumb to begin with. I come from an EXTREMELY RUDE family consisting of boomers as well as a whole lot of generation X were and are COMPLETE blast holes. I think THEY took their media TOO seriously.

Apparently they being born before you means you have to respect them. Absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
I can count the number of people i respect with 2 hands and they all get it because of things they did not because a number.
