Bunch of oldies from the area were out strolling today through our court (it connects to the parklands behind our house). A group of them decided to walk down the street, despite there being a footpath. Fine whatever.
I was driving back from the shops not in a hurry, so let it go.
Then they decide to stop and have a chinwag at my driveway. I gave them a beep beep, they ignored me. So I pressed the horn pretty hard.
One of the old chaps walked to my car and told me I'm being a bit rude, I told him not to block driveways. He started carrying on so I just held the horn until he waddled off.
They don't live on our court, so I'm not fussed, but fuck me, where is the decency.
Some oldies just don't give a shit about anyone but themselves. There are always exceptions, but those dorks in your driveway are not that. Just twat behaviour shit.
Funnily, I had a similar experience when I went for a walk yesterday. On Sydney Road footpath, and idk I walk fast? So I tend to overtake window-shoppers/slow walkers where I can. Not in a rush, just walk fast 🤷♀️ overtook three oldies walking three abreast (so taking up the majority of the footpath). Heard them talking shit "what's her rush?" and "how impatient and disrespectful". I just shot them a stink eye lol.
Should have mooned them to show what actual disrespect looks like lol
Edited out redundant language lol
I give very little fucks, and entitled oldies will get a serve from me.
Had one try to cut in line at Woolies once saying 'It will only be a moment', i just said 'No, you'll wait your turn like everyone else' and just ignored them after.
If they're blocking an aisle with a trolley, the trolley gets moved.
Oldie here but well aware of traffic. I would be well out of the way in case the youngie decided to flatten me without even a beep beep.
I appreciate a lot of oldies. Hell, my mum is pushing 80 (lives overseas) and would never dare to do anything so brash.
Thank you for being aware and keeping safe.
