There Used To Be A Young Troll On A Senior Social Site That Would Start Trashing Seniors By Saying “Old People Smell”…

He knew how to stir it up. Sometimes he would ask “What’s that smell?” And I’d tell him “It’s your upper lip.” Gladys, a retired school teacher who was near 80-years old would try to keep the peace and tell me to be nice. Anyway, don’t get offended by my post. I am old myself. Tell me what you think old people smell like.

Only those that don’t realise they leak a little smell faintly of wee. The rest smell of soap, talcum powder: the ladies have a hint of vanilla perfume and the gents a hint of beer and engine grease.

My grandparents always smelled of billiards chalk and mints

@Thevy29 I’ve known some older men that smelled like Old Spice and hair tonic, back when men used it to keep their hair from flying around. And some that had coffee breath, and yes some older women love to wear vanilla. They said it kept the mosquitoes away.

@Thevy29 I knew someone who wore Brute cologne every day. I really dislike the smell.

@cherokeepatti Definably didn't know about vanilla and mosquitos. I've heard the Avon lotion in the green bottle keeps mosquitos away. The skin so soft brand.

@iamnikki I heard it was the bath oil, sure is slippery. I had some and used it.

@iamnikki Stetson is not too bad.

@cherokeepatti When I think about it, I think it was you who mentioned the Avon 🤔😄
