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
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.

yup, no special treatment unless they are actually disabled, just like everyone with a disability is helped
People with disabilities, prams, pregnant and young kids get preferential treatment. They have enough going on in their lives.
Oblivious people get none of that. They get scorn.
young people who don’t give a shit grow into old people who don’t give a shit
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.
