I Parked in my car in the shopping center parking lot and went into a store, I got all my stuff, and headed to the cash register. It just so happens that i picked the one that gave me a clear view of where my car was parked. I look at it and it looks like this silver boat of a buick is really close to my front end.... im like nahhh no one could be that stupid... but i start getting scared and the retartded old lady at the register is taking forever to ring my shit up.... Meanwhile im staring at my car, getting a mental image of what im gonna do to this person/car if its hit/damaged my car..... So finally i get out of there and rush across the parking lot, and sure enough the damn person came across the white line that seperats the parking spaces and pushed right the hell up on my bumper.... I flipped out, started cussing and kicked that leSabre a few times.... I slowly backed my car up to where i could see the front clearly, and it was fine
It was all pushed up, but i guess the bumper just can take some bending... I sat there for a good 20 mins waiting for this person, but they never came out of where ever they were.
BUT, i was still pissed that this old incompetent person, could have put my new car on the line because they didnt know what the hell they were doing.... My whole city is full of old retired people with big cadi's and buicks.. they dont know how to drive and i dont feel sorry for them.... Get them off the road once they cant see over the steering wheel, or when they become a menace (drive so slow you cant even merge safely onto a highway if your behind them)....

Print this post out of yours, put it away for another 50 years.. Open Read and then laugh at yourself for being so hard on old people.. Believe it or not it WILL be you some day.. Unless of course you make millions of dollars and can afford to be driven around everywhere once you get old....
I agree that a lot of old people can't drive, you'll be one of them..
i'm a firm believer in passing a nationwide law of elderly people over the age of 60 needing to take the same exam a 16 year old takes when getting there liscense and permit. but once a year after the age of 60. i've seen so many accident cause or almost cause by super slow, improper parking and signaling older people it's insane. elderly people with bad vision, poor distnace judgment and slow reactions should no be allowed on the road.

when im old, i'll be driving a corvette or something though... and i'll be a different kind of menace.... Like those old people you meet on the highways in vettes that will play.. yeah that will be me...
The people that end up all retarded are the people who are retarded right now..... You can look around and see. You will continue to mature much the same way that you have ALREADY matured..... The out of shape people right now, will of cousre only get worse..The people who drive retarded and slow right now, will of course just get worse...
I mean you see those old people that dont look old, or that look great for their age and the ones that drive like vette's and vipers an porsches like its nothing and their old as hell... it because of the way they lived their life getting old... you only as old as you feel.......
In that case, i'll be turing 16 next week
I agree with 2004NeonSRT4, if 16 yr olds have to take a test, elderly people should too. They might have experience but when you can't park in 1 space or get on or off the highway safely, you are not only endangering yourself but the lives of others and somehow i dont think that's such a great thing when you're not competent. Old people rank right up there with drunk drivers on my list of I HATES....
I feel your pain...old people get on my last nerve....especially when they drive waaaay too sloooow to fucking get anywhere and take up lanes on the highway so you can't get around them ....damn left lang hogs!

I’ve gotten into this argument with so many folks it ain’t funny. I’ve was sitting in my car waiting for the wife to get out of the store and this old gal runs into the front of my car when she was docking the S.S. Geriatric. She got out like nothing happened and started walking off. I got out and nicely said “ma’am, you hit my car” I thought she started training for the senior citizens Olympics. You’ve never seen someone power walk that fast. My car was a beater so it couldn’t hurt it much. It’s a problem that is going to explode with the number of blue hairs on the rise. If they try to do anything though the “Old Bitty Committee” throws such a shit fit that the state gets scared and quietly kills it.
I agree some older people should not be driving, they are both a danger to others and themselves.I think after the age of sixty five you should have to take an eye exam as well as a written test every four years.
i remember this one time srtforums went down and the next day in the newspaper the headline read "man shows up with significant other at ER room. server found lodged in ass and pet gerbil feared dead."
blue: nope i didnt see the person.. I waited for a while. But it was for sure a really old person, I know this because they had the Gate pass decal to this rich old person community here... fuckers......
I mean this city is nothing but old people.... Thats kinda why i moved here. Its really quiet, you can leave your door wide open and no one will come in.... really nice, but the retarded drivers are killing me...
Encounter 2:
My wife just asked if i could GO BACK to the store to get some Chicken for the grill.... so i said yes and headed off.... I get there fine, and when im done and come out, my car appears to be fine... SO im like cool, i made it.. I start it up and start heading out of the parking lot. You know how some parking lots have 1 way only lanes, the kind that makes it so you can only park in it if your driving the right way in it, well yeah i was in one of those headin out.... i get to the end of it and this old lady freakin decides that she wants to turn down this lane instead of going one over... She's in a huge Mercedes, this is a one lane kinda deal..... I give her the WTF look as she attempts to squeeze by me .. she was so close that i thought for sure she was gonna hit me, and i couldnt move cause she was in my way.... I roll down my window and start yelling at her.. I tell her to stop and she attempts to roll down her window... and im yelling and lettin the BOV sing..... she finally hears me and backs up and goes one lane over........
