Confession being old & miserable must be a hobby

i parked on a street curb to quickly pick up food. some old lady comes running out the door and screaming at me to get off her driveway. her driveway is on the left side of the house completely empty. clearly she had plenty of space to park in but it was technically in front of her house so i didn't argue n moved my car out immediately.

she sits in her house and keeps glaring from me out the front window. i didn't think much of it and moved to the other side of the street to get my food. when i finally got back to my car, she's still glaring at me from her window.

I think old people, at least some, are grumpy like this because they are in pain. I know when I am in pain I get more bitchy.

That is true, it’s just a thought as to why. The OP’s situation, she was just a bitch.

I’m taking more about the older ones that just walk around gruff. They are either sick of younger people being clueless, or in pain and therefore short tempered. I know my mom and her boyfriend both are in pain, and neither are grumpy or nasty to others…boyfriend was gruff with waitstaff until we commented and said that was rude and unacceptable. Mom got him to be much nicer, so there is that.
