I Love Old People

I’m not sure why I like being around old people. They are often simple, like children, which gives me peace of mind. They can be cranky, but at least you know where you stand with them. I might say I value their wisdom, but the ones I know are mostly just goofy. Maybe it’s because I have good memories of my grandparents and miss them.

I like the ones that can hear you, the deaf ones are infuriating.

haha. When I get old, I hope I have the option to turn my hearing aid up or down depending on who is yakking.

@JimmyBlue Its when they dont get a hearing aid when they could get one and be all good.

Preach! @Allelse

@NiftyWhite My Nana was so awesome!! But she was so damn stubborn and wouldn't get a hearing aid!! It made it so hard to talk to her.

my dad has one and refuses to wear it! “doesn’t help that much” OMG .... YES it DOES

@NiftyWhite Does he do the thing where he nods or shakes his head, pretending he's heard you even though he hasn't ?

NiftyWhite · 46-50, F

yep. we will go to the dr and he will nod like you said then later ask me to tell him everything the doctor said. @Allelse So now i don’t leave his house without him wearing his hearing aids. I’ll wait all day and miss the appt if i have to. idc. Annoying af.

Sometimes he also does the opposite. he’s so used to saying “huh?” or “what?” that it’s a habit now and he will say it even when he’s wearing his hearing aids, and has heard what i said.
