What is a common stereotype of old people?

I notice people say they all wear the same strong, floral-scented perfume and they drink ensure milk every day.

@NoGamesTolerated I worked with a group of them, I was in my mid thirties and the ones around 50+ Would talk about their surgeries and medical problems at break time, it was really off putting to try to relax with that Conversation going in the break room. ....coffee break surgery convo
@cherokeepatti I have no doubt. Sometimes they compete with who has the most ailments. Seriously.

@NoGamesTolerated Yes one in particular, if you got your gall bladder removed and said you had 25 stones, she’d pipe up and say she had 50...she did it all the time

@cherokeepatti I worked with an older woman who didn’t talk about her surgeries other than to say, “If you don’t need it, I ain’t got it anymore”. She was fun.
