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

[kraigwy]

My grumpy old man complaint:

Little girls Middle school (use to call in Jr High) and HS girls with bra staps showing. Not to mention low cut tank tops.

When I was growing up, if any part of a girls underwear was showing they'd be embarest to tears.

Heck boys now days don't have to play "drop the pencil" , the dresses girls wear are no wider then my belt.

Why thats the most disgusting thing I ever had the pleasure of seeing!

One of the best things about being Retired is I don't represent my agency or department in everything I do anymore, whether on or off duty.

And I do not have to Suffer Fools Lightly.

When I was young, I remember the adults degrading us for having long greasy hair, long sideburns, and wearing leather jackets with suede shoes. I agree, the pj gals do look stupid, but it's just a generation thing. Something I don't understand mostly. But, ever wonder what it will be like when your little grandkids are teenagers? Getting old is not for the weak.

A freak is a freak. Lately with all the tatts and piercing makes me wonder what can be next? Platters in their lips and a long bone hanging from their chin and a antler or something strapped to their croach like in those national geographic movies and magazines? The heathen do that, is that the progress we want? Leave it to the heathen and jerry springer and we will step back in time a 1,000 years with their ungodly desires.

Went to the mall this week, no pajamas however there were lots of teenage girls running around in jeans so tight they looked like they were painted on. Must be the next trend, first time I have seen them that tight.

You know, I think I've been a GOM since I was about 12 or so.

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

We'd find something else...

Younger and single I lived in a carriage house (converted garage) on an alley. The neighbors young daughter used to stop beside my window pull the bra out of her purse and put it on for mom and dad. Yowsa!

Curmudgeons do not have Belts, they have suspenders.
My sartorial peeve concerning younger women and revealing fashions and wearing bedroom garments in public is that they either look like Olive Oyl or Miss Piggy.

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.

I didn't even get that far, using the crab apples off the tree in the yard.
I must be getting too old even at 36, I want to take the cellphones away from the people in line at the store and see if they can get reception where I want to put them. That and the girls at the stores as cashiers with all the piercings. Some day I am going to bring in a big magnet.

 

[venomballistics]

so you punks think your old curmudgeons ... boy back in my day we guzzled Geritol with a vodka chaser before building the road up hill both ways to school so we could attend Kindergarten.
when we were born we hit the doctor back and escaped the nursery so we could shave.

Reminds me. Summer's almost over. Need to make a trip to the mall this weekend...

Old Playboy joke: Guy walks into a bar and sits next to a young woman wearing really tight jeans. He asks her, "Excuse me, but how do you manage to get into those tight pants." She responds, "You can start by buying me drink."

 

[Maximumbob54]

And here I have been getting slapped around for changing out from wearing jeans all the time to wearing slacks. I have been getting asked by everyone, "What's with the old man pants???" I just thought they were pants but I guess the dress code has gone to you either wear blue jeans, track pants, or your are either and old man, a nerd, or some kind of suit. Forget young people, I'm finding that I just don't like most people period.

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.

If it is a chain and not a mom and pop establishment there should be a uniform or dress code for the employees and there probably is but doesn't get enforced. I don't know of any employer allowing PJ's to be worn.

I'm not a grumpy old man, dammit!!

In the real estate trade, that would be called location, location, location. Or a room with a view

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 agree, but I just thought it was because I prefer young ladies; even young women to young men, old men, men/men, males in general. Not saying I completely shun the male of the species. But I'd druther see a young lady in PJ's behind the counter than a man wearing low rider britches, or one decked out in a tux
