12 Things Old People Do That Would Be Weird You Did

Have you ever noticed that people over the age of 65 basically have complete social immunity? Our elders can do almost whatever they want but no one judges them and they definitely take advantage of that. This list includes things that old people can do that would be weird if anyone else did.

1. Make you keep eating even when you are full.

Even if you are about to explode after eating an entire Thanksgiving dinner, if grandma tells you you need more meat on your bones, you will surely be eating some pie in no time.


2. "Rest their eyes"

Any old person can say this and automatically has an excuse to sleep anywhere. But God forbid I fall asleep in class.


3. Hate society

Any youths who hate society are automatically considered hipster, but for gramps complaining about that darn hip hop music is all part of a days work.


4. Having everything they do in their relationship be considered "cute"

Be honest, if you see an old lady and her husband walking down the street in matching clothes you would struggle to keep in your "aaawwws"; however, there is no way you would let your bff and her boyfriend walk out of the house with anything matching.

5. Carry everything they own in their purse

Grandma's purse is the real gateway to Narnia. I get weighed down by anything other than my phone.


6. Put on glasses to look at their phone.

(or to look at anything)


7. Tell off your parents

Could you imagine if your friend told your parents to leave you alone? If your grandparents yell at your parents its all good, and you're a little happy about it.


8. Play matchmaker

Your elders are always trying to hook you up with someone. Doesn't matter who they are. If you are single and they are single, to grandma it was a match made in heaven.


9. Actually partake in internet trends

Whipping, dabbing, nay naying? If you posted a video or picture doing any such thing your friends would disown you. If an old person does it, instant internet fame.


10. Pop pills

If you are under 60 and pop pills, you have a problem. If you are above 60 it is just a necessary part of staying alive.


11. Say anything they want

When someone old cusses or says something racist you usually just chuckle and shrug it off. If a young person even sneezes they are automatically offending everyone.


12. Make alcohol/drug references

When you get old you have got a lot of years and a lot of experiences under your belt. Those experiences are gonna slip out every once and a while. It's not like they have to worry about their moms finding out.



Old people get away with a lot, but society is better that way! We are all waiting for the day when we get old enough to whatever we want.

If your grandparents use the facebook, make sure you tag them!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
