Old people need to get with the times.

Im young and I dont care how long I make people wait. I rent movies from redboxes. Have you seen these, have you heard about these? Dollar movies with your credit card. People are always behind me breathing heavy like a damn horse trying to make me hurry up. I just slow down and take longer to pick a movie. whateva whateva i do what i want

:laugh2:

There's a Redbox in the grocery store I go to and there's always a line of miserable looking people at it. I couldn't imagine subjecting myself to something that makes me miserable just for a frigging movie.

That's exactly why I dumped my last girlfriend! :)

It truly hurts me to see some of my "zone" friends in such a hurry. I thank God everyday for where I am now. At least twice a week,sometimes more,I have to travel up the mountain to the Highlands/Cashiers area of NC in order to "ply my trade",so to speak. Every time I do,I have to drive right by the following overlooks,and every time is different. I told myself when we moved up here and I got my business going,that the day that I drove by these spots,and didn't at least take a long glance at the beauty,that would be the day that I brought the stress of big city living back to my life. I normally stop and look for awhile,and reflect on the last time I talked to my sister from these spots,before she succumbed to pancreatic cancer.
We are not promised tomorrow,my friends,and those of you who run full out ,wide open all the time....well,hopefully you will learn to slow down and enjoy while you can.

I have the same issue with cash. I rarely use it, so if I know I will need it, I hit the ATM.

For instance, as we are entering the holiday season in the next few months, I'll go get some cash so I can put a buck in the kettle every time I pass one. While I realize that I can contribute online, it takes me back when I'm slipping the folded up dollar through the slot.

Otherwise, I'm not a big fan of cash.

Well, I didn't want to spell out "other services."

Who the hell goes to the ATM anymore.. for anything?

I can't remember the last time I used cash.. for anything.

How do you pay for your drugs?

Street vendors in NY don't take cards. I always try to keep a few bucks on hand. Usually not more than $20.

Apparently you have never met Quagmire.

I was referring to the hotdog / fruit / Gyro stands. Not the guys selling knockoff DVDs / watches / handbags / friendship bracelets, and bottled water.

the only thing i hate is they use checks still, and still wait till the cashier is done ringing up the items and have been told their total before they even get out the check book.

then they ask for a pen....really?...you right checks...and you don't have a pen...?!

if their are any check writers out there reading this, do us all a favor...get out your checkbook,make sure you know where you are shopping, fill it out completely except for the total as they are ringing you up, and actually listen for the cashier to tell you total because he/she will say it before it pops up on the display.

or get plastic

rant/

It could be worse like pulling out their little coin bag and giving the cashier the exact amount. Takes those geezers forever.

yeah, we've heard of those, we've also heard of Redbox.com where you reserve your movie, then go to the box, swipe your card and pick up your movie. Now get the hell out of my way next time.

I doubt it. Most of them are dead or were very, small children then.

Which makes them, what? Old folks? Ohhh yyeeeaaahhhh............ ;)
 
Everyone that is complaining about the old people need to remember two things.

1. Without them we wouldn't be here.

2. We will all be old some day and have some younger person telling us we need to get with the times.
