They are never willing to listen to what you have to say if they have an opinion on something - what they say is always right...

They ask you how college is going every time they see you even though they know you're just lying. It's their way of breaking you down mentally.

They tell you every single little detail about their day. EVERYTHING.

If you're on a bus, they expect you to get up and move so they can sit down. If you don't, they get angry at you and tell the bus driver who is also old, and he throws you off.

They just won’t die.

They over-chew food so it's loud and irritating.

Every girlfriend you have is regarded as 'dishy', and every boyfriend a 'little punk'.

They watch really boring television programmes then tell you all about them when they come and visit you. (At first, you didn't even realize these people were TV characters and it confused you for awhile.)

They try to talk to you if you're standing in a long queue as though they know you.

Everything that isn't Christian (or their religion of choice) is apparently bad.

Since they've been wearing the same perfume/cologne for the last 100+ years, they no longer can smell it. So they decide to marinate themselves in it for days before going out, causing people to choke on the cloud of perfume/cologne they leave wherever they go.

They go buy up 20+ burgers from a fast food joint and keep them in the freezer to be reheated and eaten later.

They give things like 'raisin pie' to you to eat and it's just rancid. Somehow it's what they 'used to live on as a kid'.

Tons of old records sit in their basements, and you're forced to hear the same one over and over through some crappy record player they have. Sometimes you even have to dance with them and help mop up their tears over 'days gone by'.

You don't know what a crooner is, and each time they tell you, you still don't know. So that you don't have to hear some Rudy Valee guy anymore, you just smile and nod the next time you're asked.

The internet seems like witchcraft to many of them. Those that do manage to get online spam you repeatedly with the same message every day, thinking it's new each time.

They clog restaurants in the mornings, and are never happy at the way the eggs are done.

Because they grew up differently than kids today, they like to bitch about how horrible everything is and how it's all gone downhill. Sure, it's gone downhill, but because of old people like you who won't allow for change!

When you're trying to get out and do something, one of them corners you and decides to tell you their life story. You'd love to shove them away and run, knowing they wouldn't remember, but your mom is watching and you have to feign giving a shit for the longest 15 minutes of your life.

Sometimes when you've just done something terribly stupid with your life, they remind you that they had warned you about this happening earlier and sit there with a smug smile on their face as you realize that they were right.
