At work we put up a new hand sanitizer thing(for no reason).

It is a motion sensing one where you just put your hand under it and it cums on it.

There have been several older people that come up and use it and they put their hands really close under and start pushing things under it. just at random. Then it splooges onto their hands and they are happy.

I find that funny.

Silly oldies!

When having family get-togethers at our house we've got to tell my parents and my in-laws, or any of my wife's older aunts and uncles that the party starts an hour later than it actually does and they STILL manage to show up early.

Before we started doing that, I can't tell how many times I've had this converation with my dad.

Me: "What are you doing here? It's 1:15. I told you the party starts at 2:00. I still have to get in the shower."

Dad: "You're always waiting for the last minute to do things even when you know you have company coming."

Me: "No. 1:59 would be the last minute. Haven't you ever heard of 'Fashionably Late'?

I guess it's more anoying than funny.

My in-laws are reaching into the old person genre. If we have them over for supper we have to tell them we are eating at 7 when it is really 5:30.

They are 1.5 to 2 hours early wherever they go.

"I think I'm going to wash my hands. What do you think? Should I wash
my hands? Where's the restroom? Is that the restroom over there?

Ok, Im going to wash my hands"

When we first taught my Dad how to use the Internet for simple things like checking sports scores or the Weather, he referred to it as "the yahoo".

"It's not going to rain today, I went on the Yahoo and found out"
"Yankees won, I read it on the Yahoo".

Now, unfortunately, he is Facebooking up a storm.

How my dad, who never wears jewelry except wedding band, gets dressed up to go out and wears a big thick gold necklace (with a cross, no less) and a big ugly ass ring. Why? Why? Why?

How my dad has 6 pairs of identical brown loafers and 3 pairs of identical white tennis shoes that all sit in perfect line in their entry way.

How my dad bought a pair of skechers and sometimes wears them with that ugly ass necklace.

How my mom who is really thin wears clothes 2 sizes too big. How she wears her bangs back in a barrette...she looks like a little kid.

I will have to think of more...my parents are weird.

old men can fall asleep at the drop of a hat.
I remember my grandfather falling out every night about 5 minutes after supper. When he hit that recliner he was out. My brother and I still laugh about how annoyed my grandmother would get about it... poking him and sayin "daddy wake up, if you are that tired go to bed" She wouldn't stop until he went to bed, sometimes around 7:30 because he was tired of her poking.

My dad wears a button up sweater around the house. A couple of years ago, I decided it was time to buy him a new one for Christmas, since his old one was all tattered. A month later, I realized he was still wearing the old one. I asked him why, and he said he didn't want to mess up the new one. IT WAS STILL IN THE BOX! He finally relented when I told him I got him the new one so he could WEAR IT!

my dad used to do the same with wallets. His looked so ripped apart and bad that we would get him new ones for x-mas or b-day until we realized he never replaced the old one and it was the same one we saw every time we thought he was in need of a new one

"Every once in a while (sometimes as often as 3 times a week), I'm incapable of getting my right shoe on correctly. I'll put it on, and take a few steps. It's too loose. I retie it. It's too tight. I can retie it 20 times, and it's still no good. Sometimes I put it on, and it feels like my sock is bunched up on the bottom. I'll take the shoe off, and adjust the sock. IT NEVER WORKS! When this happens, it totally throws off my day. I make simple and stupid mistakes, because I can't stop thinking about how my shoe putting on didn't take that day."
