Default The Grumpy Old Man (or Woman) Thread


You can either be
A) An old man or woman and complain about "kids these days" and suchlike
or
B) a young hip dude or dudess who tells us oldsters to "Can it grandad" etc and tell us why we're wasting their precious oxygen and why we should all be in our coffins by now.

First off: you damn kids and your makey-up words! "Sick"? "Rad"? When I were a lad, if you heard rad you ducked and covered behind the nearest wall, and if you heard sick you called the doctor! What's next, Bad is Good? What? It is? Damn you kids for making this a world I have trouble living in!

I don't want to sound like I'm not hep et cetera, but what is with these threads? When do you find time to take your afternoon naps?

When I'm playing basketball with friends and someone makes a sweet play we call him a "baaaad man"

So yes, bad is indeed good

In my day, our inane threads were actually funny.

Ahh "funny" I think I know what you mean, but it's been so long I think I forgot what it was.

Isn't this thread just another version of The Bitch Box?

I love old people. Not just because they bankroll my paychecks, but also because I appreciate their blatant bitterness and at times, utter insanity. Keeps my job interesting.

And if you play your cards right, maybe throw a little action their way, you can get some good money when they finally bite the big one.

There's definitely something to that. One thing old men love more than Lawrence Welk on Saturday nights is agressively hitting on young girls without consequence.

Gurl, get you some o' dat inheritance money. It'd just end up going to their ingrate family who probably don't visit anyway.
