Default I hate old people - with pics -

Sometimes I wish I worked at the DMV just so I could revoke old peoples licenses!


Took the wife to the doctor this morning and what did we find when we came out of the office?









Fcukin old people, they were about 3 feet past the parking line and touching my bumper! I took pictures and backed up, but there didnt seem to be any damage. Hopefully when I get a change to wash the car I wont notice anything.
I hope they slip on the ice and break their hip!

Yeah, I'm not sure how to handle that situation. I'm thinking about
printing out some of those "thanks for parking so close to my car _______...
did you leave me a can opener so I could get out" cards to leave on cars that
park like that.

If I remember correctly, they had Mickey giving you the finger to get your attention.

Some of my friends and I are going to get a couple of boxes of business cards printed up with different sayings on them for just this occasion.

This is what I have always said! It's the older folks that are the parking lot vandals! The old ones (you know who you are) have no respect for other peoples property. Probably because they are so close to death that they don't care! I hope I am not that way when I am old. I would venture to say 90% of door dings are the result of careless old people. They literally use your car as a door stop!

One time I was sitting in my car at the mall opening a CD and all of the sudden a hear and feel a "WHHOOMPP!!" I swore that someone had ran into my car the impact was so great (my whole car rocked!). I look out my window and some old lady was getting out of her husbands caddy and she still had her door resting against my car and was using it as a brace to lift herself out of her car. She was PUSHING her door into my car!!

I jumped out and said "what the hell are you doing!!" I looked at my door and saw a dent and a crack in the paint where her door was resting. "You just dented my car! Why would you do that??" I asked. She got all scared looking and slinked back into her car and shut the door. Her husband said "what's the problem?" I pointed to the dent and crack in my car and he looked at it and said "that could have already been there!" I got really mad and opened up the old lady's door and gently laid it against my car. "Wow, whats the chance that your door lines up perfectly with the dent and you have blue paint on your door edge from my car?" He mumbled something about "damn kids" or something and got in his car and started to leave!! She went to pull her door shut and I started screaming at them insanely!He took off. I called the police and gave his plate #, but nothing ever came of it. I was told it wouldn't be worth it to take them to court. My word against theirs.

$250 fix!!

Very true. My wife's only 35 and she's been driving a Buick LeSabre for 5 years (long story as to why). Her next car will be an xB.

It may not be an old persons car, but come on, lets be honest here... it's an "odds on" favorite that it is.

I'm not going to say that old people don't do these things because I'm sure some do. But from what I've seen, 95% of the time, door dings are from little kids who fling their doors open. From the time my son was a toddler, we've taught him to be very careful of ther cars when he opens his door. Some parents just don't care. Especially if their car is a piece of junk.

He realized that it would be alot easier to slide in and out of a car with leather interior than one with cloth. So they offered their two-year-old LeSabre to us for a song. We didn't really want a Buick, but it was too good to pass up. And like I said, it is a nice car.

I think it's funny that younger people always blame old people for bad driving/parking/whatever. And the older people blame young people for bad driving/parking/whatever.

Interesting. ;)

With the interior decor of this car, it was definately an old persons car. And that was also all that I saw in the doctors office (small practice).

I really dont care if they were old or not, inconsiderate bastards that cant be in control of thir own vehicles.

Yesterday, I saw an old couple in a Buick go down the wrong side of the street... the bad part is that there is a big median, so they're going to have to keep going the wrong way for about 1/2 mile before they can switch back over...
