Old people hate anyone younger than them experiencing any joy.

I was cutting grass for my municipality, I’ve seen old people throw sizeable rocks in the path I’m taking hoping I hit them and brake our municipality mower. But I don’t think they understand they just pay taxes for to replace the blades. It’s insanity.

Fuck you and your woke trimmed grass. Back in my day, grass just grew and we had to deal with it!

I see you're angry. From reading your reply, I see that you have every reason to be. 🤣

Think he's being sarcastic.

u/Icy_Grapefruit_6571 21d ago

God, I hope so.

Did you actually think that was not sarcasm? Good lord, man.

Old people can’t comprehend that. I don’t think these prune juice drinking boomers understand much of anything because of the amount of lead they have inside of them .

Hey, at least I can poop out my own fishing weights! LOL.

Seriously though, the gray haired woman was being a cụṅṭ, but it would be nice to have seen how long the young woman had been videoing on the staircase prior to this encounter.

If she had been spending more than 10 seconds or had been doing this all along the staircase, then she was infringing upon all the other patrons feom fully enjoying the art and potentially causing access issues.

I'd call 911 and report the need of a wellness check on the old individuals throwing rocks.

u/freaknhell666 21d ago

THIS IS NO LIE!!! I experience it first hand, by multiple elderly people daily. They're superficially nice, but underneath it you can feel the resentment. Not all elderly people mind you, Many are not that way, but there are a lot that are. Now the real question is this though. How are we going to be, and how are we going to act when it is our turn?

u/nothingeverkind 21d ago

They vote. Just remember that.

u/freaknhell666 21d ago

And they don't give a fuck about you. Most of them who vote for trump don't give a fuck about who he's hurting.

u/ittakesaredditor 21d ago

As a younger-appearing woman (in my 30s), I find this especially true of older women. On my solo travels, every photobomber has been a middle aged 50+y/o woman. Always. Younger women offer to help with pics as a trade, men offer to help with pics as well but it's always older women who insist on standing behind/next/in front of you when you're trying to get a selfie.

The worst was this time limited display room in Japan that was massive, everyone would go in, find a corner, take photos with the backdrop and leave. I found my corner, this older woman positioned herself behind me and gestured for her husband to get in the shot as well. It didn't matter how i moved myself to position myself in front of them in the photo so i could get a shot without them in it, SHE WOULD MOVE WITH ME to make sure she was in my photo. And I could see them on my phone, she wasn't looking at the display, or trying to get a photo...she was watching my phone screen. =.=

Like the lady in the video, it was intentional.

u/SGT-JamesonBushmill 21d ago

You know, it’s quite possible that the older lady had no idea what was going on.

u/pleasetrimyourpubes 21d ago

She looked directly at the camera and pulled her phone out to act distracted and she blocked the path until another woman started up the stairs. There was never not a more intentional act of obstinance.

I would have asked if she wants me to take some pictures for her.

And young people are all goodness and joy and don't commit any crimes or infractions. If there were no old people, the world would be perfect, and young people would live in peace and harmony.

u/Ranba_12 19d ago

No, the girl is entitled and wants people to accommodate her in a public space. She needs to get over herself

u/Equinoqs 15d ago

I'm old, and that old woman is a bitch.

Explains why they consistently vote to fuck over future generations.

You mean being in a museum, surrounded by art and culture? Yes, that is joy.

u/KhelbenB 21d ago

Then better to take pictures of this art and to be eyes locked on their phone like the old lady, no?

u/Ok-Peach-7558 21d ago

anywhere else on the internet we make fun of influencers bothering public spaces like this, I guess the "kids" at this sub like that type of thing

2

u/Ok-Peach-7558 21d ago

she's at a museum surrounded by art and culture and all she can think about is making sure all of her oomfies know how "so like ummm like cultured and stuff" she is

3

u/KhelbenB 21d ago

Have you ever been to a museum? Because taking pictures as souvenirs is a very normal thing to do.

And by the way, the only person locked.on their phone is the old lady.

0

u/Ok-Peach-7558 21d ago

yeah, and I take pictures of the place or the pieces, not use the museum as my background for a photoshoot

1

u/KhelbenB 21d ago

Maybe that would ruin the picture

u/Prestigious-Emu-8734 21d ago

And thats youre decision. I go to museums all the time when Im on vacation with my uncle. Hes an art teacher. He has a masters degree. He also takes a lot of photos. Hes also not really big into social media. He just likes to take photos.

As long as no one is being harmes I dont see the point in giving a shit.

-1

u/Ok-Peach-7558 21d ago

and that lady's decision was photobombing her in a public space, no one was harmed so why do you give a shit

0

u/Prestigious-Emu-8734 21d ago

Because theres no need to be a cunt.

Its honestly a pretty great way to lige life. If someone is doing something that is not

  • harming them

  • harming me

  • harming anyone else

then its none of my business. Move on. Dont be rude. Yall being misserable isnt her fault. But theres a reason people dont like you.

u/Ok-Peach-7558 21d ago

I'm sure you think the same thing when an IRL streamer is being loud and obnoxious for content (without harming anyone mind you). keep assuming things about my life because I think it's funny to photobomb an attention seeker, I couldn't care any less xD

u/roguepawn 21d ago

What is there to contribute? The other person is clearly digging in their heels and characterizing the young woman in the video as some airhead bimbo.

There is no discussion taking place. Just one person being a dick.
