Misses walked to work the other day and just as she got in the car park there was an old man on the floor with his buggy toppled over, he was arguing with a group of youths on bikes. He was shouting they had pushed him over and attacked him. She, along with one of the other youths helped him up and into the store. Looked after him, gave a statement etc and sent him on his way. She got called into the office later in the day, looked at the CCTV, Shows him chasing the lads into the carpark and rammed into one of them whilst on their bike. Could have seriously hurt the lad. Showed up it was all down to the old guy and they hadnt pushed him off. Amongst all this though, there were other old biddies telling her they saw it all and the lads had pushed him over 
Older you get, grumpier and set-in-your-ways you become.
I was buying a butty @ Shell the other day, in sleepy Colwyn bay. By the time I could decide on a low fat butty, a group of sixthformers flooded the place. I was not the happiest person to be right behind the queue. I had to put up with teenager's loud chittering in their half-cracked voice
Later, I searched into my own prejudice, and found that I have become less tolerent with my growing age. Kids were just kids, so bleddy what if they were happy and loud at their lunch-break, man? They have to keep their little mouths shut at their lectures. They should be able to feel free in their break! So next time, I am going to be happier and more tolerent, even if they do a disco in Shell at their break time.
