I'm still trying to decide which is worst, the old people writing a cheque or them sifting through their wallet/purse for the exact change.
I was at the corner store the other day and the old fellow was buying some scratch tickets, paying with the change he had and the cashier literally had to count it out for him because he wasn't sharp enough to do it himself. That just about sentt me off the deep end.
We haven't been able to use cheques here for probably 10 years!! I have never owned a cheque book and the only places you can really use them now is paying utilites by mail (power, phone etc.) We were the first country in the world to introduce Eftpos (in store electronic transacions using debit cards) and I found it so bizarre when I went to Sydney recently that not everywhere takes debit or credit cards. I hardly ever carry cash.
change for a phone call please... ??????...yeah the pay phone outside
i need quaters dimes and nickels
couples dollars worth, thanks.
weird lighters...
it always feels & looks like a dope deals goin down when i'm on pay phone.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! the new posts in here made me laugh sooo hard just now and I can bearly breathe! You guys are effin funny! Chad the dope dealer!
~~~~~~ALWAYS HAVE A GOOD TIME~~~~~~

ATTENTION OLD PEOPLE,
thanks for having the patience the young have not found yet
hasn't a thing to do with patience...has to do with using antiquated forms of payment when there are clearly better, more efficient forms of payment...it's time people stop thinking there are the only ones in the world and think of their fellow man...me and the 5 people behind me shouldn't have had to wait that long when there was no need to...and it wasn't like this was some 87 year old who can barley see or anything...she was mid 60's, looked pretty healthy...no reason, other than she is stuck in her old ways, she couldn't have paid with a card
I agree. No one pays for stuff by trading chicken or goats or magic beans anymore...so should go the cheque...

my bro-in-law was offered 2 camels for my sister when were in Egypt.
genuinely true story.
camels stink by the way... just thought i'd add that! not as much as old people stink, but very close.
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

Your sis must be a good looking lass! 2 camels, eh? we aren't talking cigarettes, right?
another thing about old people is that they will always wear way too many clothes even if its boiling outside... then they'll complain about how hot they are... plus they get the seats closest to the driver on a bus... and then most likely complain that they have to walk miles to get their seat... they complain a lot don't they.

I could use a sweater and some Preparation-H.
old people are fond of their hats right enough

This is true. It goes far beyond fondness. My hat is my friend.
I am not. Can I just like the friggin' hat already???
it suits you and makes you easy to find in a bar!!
i wouldn't even look for him... i would use his lady friend's scent as my guide.

How about the rotary phones with a really loud, clangy ring? I miss that. Not a fan of beeps and silly ringtones.
I went shopping with my 73 year old mum and brother recently.I got my shopping done first so waited for them at the supermarket entrance ... 20 minutes later they were still shopping.I hunted them down to say I'd wait in the car.
40 minutes later they arrived back at the car ... mum had ONE shopping bag with her ... 1 HOUR 10 MINUTES needed for ONE BAG OF SHOPPING ... WHY :wtf:

i liked those loud ringers placed on the side some houses, that was always weird and fun.
a huge industrial bell. my neighbor had one. to bad i didn't ever call them all day long.
that could have been a blast of sorts.
and i like old people who are mean or grumpy. (movie - grumpy old men... funny shit)
i laugh either with them or at them.
it is great.
We currently have families on holidays down here, everywhere you look, people wondering aimlessly, taking ages to choose things, drving down lanes they can't drive down, and breaking on every corner of roads they can drive down...
...however come September the families will be replaced with older peoples bus tours our coming with their caravans. Same issues as mentioned above, but twenty times slower.
Get out of my way, I am on my lunch break, I just need to pop to the shop, I, unlike you, do not have all day!!
