Me and my girlfriend were in line at Quiznos once and this guy cut in front of us and when we asked him to kindly move back to the end of the line something strange happened. He started scratching his arms and then stared directly at us and screamed.
"Stop touching my arm, your hurting my arm! STOP IT!" He then turned around and continued to wait in line.

This never really pisses me off, unless the senior is an utter ****** who is openly bigoted against the blacks, arabs, the irish, the mexicans, and them damn catholics with every alternate word. I never stand in line if i don't have spare time so i can wait a few more minutes for my five dollar footlong, I never really am in a hurry i guess

Anyone else find this post a bit ironic?

I feel left out, i don't get this joke, but i get the idea it's an insult I suddenly feel like i am a freshmen again

Explaination time! "This never really pisses me off, unless the senior is an utter ****** who is openly bigoted against the blacks, arabs, the irish, the mexicans, and them damn catholics with every alternate word". He is calling a senior who is a racist a '******' which in it's self its pretty much the pot calling the kettle black as my Grandma would say.

OOOOOOOOOH, thaaaaaaaaaats what you meant, i thought you were making a crack about my personality or something, i use ****** with the meaning a bundle of dry twigs, sticks, or branches, implying that all these people do nothing for the benefit of anyone (including themselves) except sit there gathering dust and occasionally verbally catching fire to be openly bigoted about the blacks, arabs, irish, mexicans, and them damn catholics .

Fair enough, hard to convey different meanings of words over the net.

Start talking to them and make them feel like an asshole by lying about tragedies in your life. Then while you're talking, slowly stand next to them, then in front of them. Or just step in front of them but not sure what kind of reaction you'll get.

Don't see it in the US much from the elders.

which part of the US? I see it a lot from elders but more from arrogant high schoolers out here in "sunny" california.....i also have had people flip me off for them cutting me off while driving......that one pisses me off.....the most

I've lived in TN, KY, CO, MI, NY and MA. Visited a lot of states, but have seen some of that self-involved behavior in FL.

Just stick a foot out as she walks past you...

 

[brabz]

Simply saying "Excuse me, I'm on line" usually does the trick. You say it just loudly enough to shame them into thinking someone else heard you call them out, and they'll inevitably apologize usually say something to the effect of not realizing you were there.

I have no problem being polite, but there's a line for a reason. Their money isn't any more valuable, and everyone has somewhere they'd rather be than waiting around to be served.

You are faster stronger, better looking (I hope) and more agile, just use it as tools in the daily and ongoing grocery war...

Don´t be a stranger to a well placed "punt/elbow" predicting and intersecting the path of the elder citizen...

Be prepared though, they are likely to come against you armed with walkers, shopping carts or (god forbid) behind the wheel of a a Segway.

It happens a lot here, for some reason old people think that they have a right to be respected, just for living longer. It seems that they never learned that respect is a two way thing, and surviving the war is all well and good, but if you can't be polite, then why should I care?

Happened to me at the airport, actually. Our flight had been canceled, so we all had to line up and wait to be assigned to other flights. Old woman said "you don't mind if I get in front of you, do you?" and I said, yes, actually, everyone had to wait. She proceed to tell me what a terrible person I was, she'd had a horrible day, I should be ashamed of myself. I told her we'd all had horrible days, and she could take a seat and call the customer service number (which the airline rep had suggested we could all do) and that way she wouldn't have to stand in line at all. She said she couldn't do that - "I can't explain why."

Some people are worthy of respect. Others are merely worthy of a kick in the shins.

That's because most people here would just bump them out of the way and old folks don't want broken hips.
