Is it normal that i hate old people

is it normal that i really hate old people. i don't think that they are sweet or cute or anything i just hate them.i feel like they are all jerks that think they deserve more respects just because they have been alive longer. I think they all smell and are lazy. I know somethings they can't do on their own but alot of times they just don't want to do annoying things so they make young people do it for them, stuff they are clearly capable of. Just because your old doesn't mean you can't even use your brain anymore. Help me i hate them!

    To any of those who consider themselves better, smarter, more capable than old people, here is an offer or challenge. I am 65 years old. I challenge anyone here (lets say 25 and younger) to all of the following competitions:

    200 meter sprint
    2 out of three set tennis match
    1 on 1 football to 21 points (using common QB and full 100 yard field)
    8 lap motorcycle road race 250cc Grand Prix (any AMA or AHRMA approved road course within continental USA)
    Chess game.
    Music (listen to a random song and within 1 minute or less name the key it is written in and the scale primarily used by the singer or lead guitar player)
    Reading comprehension test.
    Geo physics test
    History test (any period any culture)

    9 events. Best 5 out of nine wins. $10,000 buy in. Winner takes all. If I win, all goes to a charity. If you win you do what you choose.

    Think you are better than an old person? put your money where your mouth is and lets see.

    I think my largest problem with seniors is that it is assumed that they are "wiser" and "better" than younger people simply because they are older. Whilst it is true that experience can lead to wisdom, it does not automatically make it so. People need to earn respect, not receive it simply because of their age.
    That leads to my second problem. I always feel like seniors should be mature and kind and wise because of their experience. They should be better at social activities and have learned tact and graciousness. Instead, most seem to become vicious, gossipy, old hags that are bitter against the world and all of those with youth and vitality.
    Another problem: seniors often have a horrible mixture of pride and stubbornness, which often only leads to more problems and hurts others and themselves (ie, not giving up a drivers licence when they could easily kill someone, or refusing to move when they're putting an incredible burden on their family) as well as a feeling of entitlement where they constantly want and demand help from others in the most ridiculous manner.
    I could clearly continue, but that is all I will say for now.

      You're totally off on this. You seem to think that no seniors have Ph.Ds in Biology, or were CPAs, or architects? THey were, and then they retired, and now they have to deal with young people like you who actually do not respect their accrued knowledge. Get over yourself.

    I work in a call center for insurance and I talk to old ass idiots all day. You're right they brag and yell they argue they bitch about the stupidest things they think because they lived longer than anyone we gotta kiss their ass and they tell you stupid stories that are long and winded and we don't give a fuck about. I hate old people too. Maybe if they would of worked out and taken care of themselves better when they were younger they wouln't feel and look so old. Oh yeah and their racist fucks too . That generation needs to go already bunch of stupid fucks!

      "Maybe if they would of worked out and taken care of themselves better when they were younger they wouln't feel and look so old." I am pretty impressed that you wrote that. You've never heard of cancer? ALS? Heart defects? You think "working out" is the answer to everything? Are you gorgeous and perfect? Congratulations!!!!! God help you when you're 95 years old and you can't jump the hurdles anymore.

      • You seem dense. It is proven that many variables such as exercise and stress all have an effect on the body such as your hair, your body internally and externally, your hearing, your brain and mind.

        In the classes I have taken on the psychological process of aging we have discussed many of the effects of aging but there was no mention of cancer, ALS, or any heart defects. All of the effects of aging are natural results of the way we live our lives.

    Its a pretty broad question since it is all old people as a group, but I had to vote yes its normal.
    I deal with a lot of elderly people and while there are many nice and friendly old people, it seems there are at least an equal amount that are awful to be around.
    While it might just seem that way because a little bit of bad old people go a long way, I truly believe it normal to hate old people as cruel as it sounds.
    That being said, I plan on being a cool old guy if I live that long. They exist, its unfortunate all the crabs drown them out.

    Me too! I mean obviously not ALL old people but pretty much all the ones I've come across have been very irritating. They are single minded and rude and think they have the right to insult you cos they are old. Why should I show them respect if they treat me like that? I don't like the way they cut themselves off from society either and live their lives in their past, turning their noses up at the current generation like we have messed everything up by introducing iPhones when they've never even tried using one. They were quite lazy too. You may be old but you are not paralysed. They make younger people do stuff for them and think they can get away with it because of their age. Oh and then constantly shouting 'WHAT??' After every little thing you say grates on you. I know it's not their fault but God it is irritating. And being so slow. Walking slow. Talking slow. Having to be spoken to very slowly. Not understanding simple tasks or pieces of information and it having to be explained a million times. Sorry but when my granny comes round I feel like I'm talking to a child! I know I will be old one day too and someone will be complaining about me. And I know none of these things are their fault and they can't help it it just helps to vent out the frustration occasionally. And there is no excuse for being single minded, snobby and rude. I don't care what you're age is, you're an asshole.

  • hearingaid

    I work at Costco as a hearing aid specialist (horrible field to get into). The rules are you must have an appointment to receive a hearing test or any service. No matter how many times I drill into these old peoples heads that they cant just walk up and expect me to work on their hearing aids they do it anyway.. they will pull out the line "if I see you and you aren't busy cant you do it, even if I don't have an appointment" NO! Don't try to reason with me.. just accept that you have to call and make an appointment before popping up. The worst is when they come in and see FREE hearing test and schedule one just because its free then don't buy anything when they actually need hearing aids. What is the point of getting your hearing checked if you find that you have hearing loss and are not going to do anything about it. I swear that one of these days im going postal on all these douche bags. I've had so many old pieces of crap come up to the counter, bragging about how they use to be an engineer, and then proceed to try to tell me how to do my job or ask so many God forsaken dumbass questions that it makes me want to strangle them. I absolutely hate 99% of old people. I am so happy that some of you agree that most of them are horrible.

      I wonder if Costco would like to receive your comment here and determine if they can find out which store you work in and who you are? Of course they will not find out, but at any rate, you're no prize employee. Unbelievable how vicious you are.

    Old people are rude, ignorant, stubborn, scared of change, intolerant, racist, lack personal hygiene and ohhh so arrogant and the current prison population is absolutely full of old pedo's, so I'd say that there's a large amount of them that are pervs too.

    They are a drain on society and contribute absolutely nothing

  • Eyehateoldpeople

    All old people should be made to pay a fee to the government as they are a drain on society and all they do is moan about how bad the world has become.

    Not only that but they can't hear anything, don't understand the modern world and refuse to embrace technology.

    They should all be put in a giant city somewhere in the middle of an ocean and just left to get on with it...it would solve the housing shortage and there would be more food to eat.

    In fact we could even cook them when they die too

      Because their bodies hurt. Because many have organic brain deterioration, such as Alzheimers. Because many of them have incurable diseases. Because many of them have adult children who never visit them and do not care about them -- do you think all of those issues make people happy and pleasant? They make people feel abandoned and helpless, and YOU, with your absolute lack of education about geriatric issues, have NO business working in a "senior center." Go get a job beating people up.

        Well said. These "old people" haters are total assholes . They apparently lack proper upbringing/education, or associated with juvie thugs/skanks in their formative years. I'm sure they'll go somewhere in the woods to off themselves when they can't deal with their aging bodies and avoid becoming a burden to loved ones&society, right? Wrong-because these are probably the same ones who like to smoke weed to alleviate their idiopathic pain ...at the tender age of twenty something.

      • Ever wonder why nobody visits them? At some point the "know it all" older person that is uneducated, didn't save for retirement, screwed over loved ones gets a bit of karma. It's the way life works. Sure there are exceptions, but a lot of elderly are real snots.

  • err

    Some old folks are super awesome!!!!!!!, they may not look young but they got what it takes to be young and alive.I really like them and think that these type of elders are worth respected.

    However, I had a chance to experience the incredibly bad one also, like

    They act like a baby who can not help themselves ,which they should feel grateful of how we do not abandon them and even take care of them at most of the time or at least they should make things easier for us by not being so stubborn , unreasonable and act like a spoiled brat.Also, if we refuse to do something for them ,they may call you ungrateful or not respectful which .....since when they ever make me feel grateful and think about us after all this time and now you expect us to be your servant or something??

    This may sound like a harsh comment, well it is..... for those out there ,i do not meant to offend all of the elders but sometimes you will need to understand that people have their limit.

    at first it was caring ,then pity and then my door is shut ,the only reason they are cared because we may be related somehow.

      Like I've said to others in this thread, I highly recommend that you become educated in geriartic health problems. You apparently do not understand why elderly sometimes have substantial depression, a sense of abandonment, etc. "Spoiled brat" is not a term I would use for the elderly person who gets in your way and makes your day inconvenient.

    To say that the elderly have young people do things for them because their lazy is a lie. I work at a retirement village and most of the residents are 70+ and are in wheelchairs or using walkers. Despite have 11+ people willing to help them, they always feel bad when we go to fetch things for them or offer to make them something special. Once a man fell and refused medical help. They can be quite proud.

    • Meh, one would have to poll a lot of older people to say either way is "true or false". The writer simply states the people around him/her are lazy. I've seen the same on my side. Very lazy. You've seen different. Good for you.

      So you are a caregiver? What "care" are you giving? None that I can tell. You apparently do not understand how a very elderly person's body can misfire and parts of it no longer work. You know...incontenence? Why are you working as a caregiver if you have such scorn for your clients?
