It seems the last few years young people have turned their backs on anyone more than a decade older than them and appear to believe that surely we must be on our way to death and senility - wait until they have to use a cane or hearing aids. Listening to the speed and silliness of the young's speech reminds me of a clutch of overexcited chooks!

It's a grey hair and wrinkles thing I have been coping with stupid stuff for years and I'm only 60,i can tell you i was a cleaner in a hotel and 2 kegs ran out the girls running the pub at the time had no idea what to do they were selling stubbies at cheap prices to keep customers happy , I went in changed the keg got the beer running again, they were talking divine intervention at on stage till they looked at the video and saw what I did, silly old bugger I am or was or am can't remember I am old hah, enjoy there I am young and you are old it will turn I assure you, one checkout chick i corrected or tried to give her money back for incorrect change said i suffered with sillyinity still unsure what it means but i guess she did

I like to act old and stupid because it gets me lots of things, like seats on trains, discounts on groceries and cautions instead of speeding tickets… Edited 16-Jan-23 13:37pm

Yes I do believe its a bite of a trend cult but I remember having a hard time getting my mother and my In-laws when they where in their 70's to move forward in time. It was like they where stuck in a time zone.

When you get to 50 you had better hope you like your job or that you are self employed..no-one is going to give you a job...you are a threat to the person who employs you (loyalty no longer exists) survey companies start to lose all interest at 60...and its funny because these young people now have evolved limited attention spans and cannot concentrate...coupled with falling levels in general education in most countries...and that a smart phone is now an extension of their bodies...AND their intelligence/memory....I find it entertaining when I'm treated like I'm the one who is "special"...it is a sad reflection on our society.... as John says if you have the right passport the only job that is easy to get when you pass 70 is President of a country ...When did we all start needing Grandpa Presidents?

It’s called Ageism and should be outlawed in the same way calling someone of colour a “n” or someone gay a “fag.” After all the millenials have no trouble with our money for house deposits, free babysitting and inheritances. “Ha ha ha isn’t it funny. You don’t like me, but you like my money.” Except in my case I don’t have any, or any property either so my worth if I took any notice of their pretentions would be zero. Well they can go jump, because our lives also matter. BIG TIME! “Hey Boomer we matter!”
