You know your becoming a grumpy old man when...

[markush]

You run to the gas station for a gallon of milk and you think it's inappropriate for a 20somthing female employee to be wearing her pajama's...

It could be that they are her dingy old pajama's that you are certain you seen her wearing while shopping at Walmart. Or you really have become...a grumpy old man...

Its winter now, or getting that way. It means the young girls who used to walk past with nothing but their PJs on won't be doing that till next spring at the earliest. There was one who came down my side street and then in front of the house. She was wearing nothing but Jammies. She had a small purse in her hand, but not even shoes or flip-flops. She looks just as one would look after they got out of bed. She was a bit overweight and everything was pretty visible and jiggling around.

I can kind of understand young girls embracing fashion, and I guess if wearing pajamas in public is their thing, its OK with me. Its kind of interesting to view. It would be more stimulating if they didn't wear the same ones day after day.

Viewing WalMart customers is pretty disgusting. They probably should remain in seclusion for the rest of their lives. Maybe the things we call
"bed clothes" are best left in that arena.

Now were they pajamas or Yoga pants? Yoga pants are in style now that basically curves everything on the body and sometime gets mistaken for PJ's. I didn't know the difference for awhile.

HaHa they were pajama's. White, well they started out white at some point, with teddy bears all over them. Tops and bottoms, and slippers...it was a Halloween "costume". But my issue was she was working with the public and these were not new pj's she bought for this occasion...they were definitely old and turned dingy grey.

It's bad enough that I have to see the customers dressed like that when I go there. I think employees working with the public should be held to a higher standard...but I guess that's just the grumpy old man in me.

I can deal with the young ladies in their PJ's. But the young men with their pants around their ankles makes me shake my head and wonder what girls see in them.

Add that to their mid 90's Honda with loud muffler and 1,000,000 watt stereo and now it's really time to get grumpy.

I am an offical grumpy old man. I went to the post office and got some income tax return forms. I will be putting those in the kids bags on Halloween.

Doode... it's Walmart!

Jammies are better than what I see the high school girls wearing. Dollars to donuts their dads don't see them leave the house that way.

Good thing they can't arrest me for what I'm thinkin'.

You're not officially a grumpy old man until you tell kids to get off your lawn.

I've been a fully-licensed G-O-M for several years, and offer classes in Curmudgeonry on Tuesdays. But it's still astounding to me to see how "fashion" keeps getting more and more tacky, tawdry and downright foogly. The new trend seems to celebrate a complete and utter lack of style or taste.

I've had discussions with "young urban males" (aka Hood Rats) about wearing their pants a foot below their waist, asking why they want to emulate gangstas and convicted felons. To a one, they just say it "looks cool". But one of the funniest things I've ever seen was a pursuit that turned into a (short) foot chase, the thug was trying to run with one hand tugging his pants back up, the other clutching a gun, which discharged and he literally shot himself in the foot. (He lost a toe). The cop chasing him almost knocked him OUT of his droopy drawers, and nobody else got hurt. But watching him trying to run with one hand dragging his britches up was pretty durned funny.........to a curmudgeon!

Thank you, Papajohn, I needed that. Where do I sign up?

Good Morning:
Consider: The young folks dress like they do, just to give us "Old Guys" something to "Fuss" about!

You know that you're a grumpy old man when you go after your buddy with your ice fishing catch.

That's just in the movies. In real life, he would have used an ice auger and a chipper.

You guys are out of step. Wearing pajamas out in public is the new style tread. Expect to see more of it. Saw it on the TV news, so it must be true, right?

My personal clothing trend peeve, aside from sagging jeans and PJ's in public, is the wearing of baseball style hats either in the backwards position or indoors at all. Some of these guys are my age. Grow up and take off your hat indoors! It's just trashy. I see them on backwards and it makes me want to twist their heads around until it's facing the proper direction. My sons and their friends know better than to enter my home with a hat on. They learned this by chasing said hat out into the yard, after I threw it out the front door.

"He who enters covered here, buys the house a round of cheer!"

Semper Fi.

You know your becoming a grumpy old man when......gas stations were service stations and you couldn't BUY milk there, but you could get a tune up and your oil changed

 

[jlrhiner]

I have a Black Belt in Curmudgeonry.

 

[feralmerril]

Maybe I am late on this but what gets me is these kids wearing a too big baseball cap that covers the top of their ears. As a old friend of mine told one, your already ugly, ya dont need add on`s.

I haven't been too happy with the appearance of young women's attire since the miniskirt went out of fashion.
