I have not received a single PM from an old person offering me any form of jewelry.  I will take this into account in my future posts.

Obsessing over taxes

Feeling remorseful for squandering a lifetime of relationships with family and tossing shallow monetary benefits towards them in attempt to make amends...despite the obvious futility

Failing to recognize when they are loosing their capabilities in professional pursuits

Unable to change ingrained patterns that are ineffective and even destructive

Frightened of new technologies and quickly dismissive of their benefits

"What young people are good at"

1. Standing on lawns.
2. Oblivious to the things that would make them productive members of society, and wasting time that could be spent in professional or educational pursuits. -->  :drink:
3. Making posts about other people, not realizing it is a transparent view into their own fears, ignorance, prejudice, and general insecurity about who they are and where they fit in society...

Cheer up. You'll grow up eventually.

If so, you've really pissed her off now by not including the "Esq.".

Telling stories over and over that no one wants to hear. Related - They have a story about EVERYone, or they'll make one.

Drinking coffee regardless of what time it is. 

Being adorable (not all of them, but there are some -- since this isn't a thread that ALL old people are good at).

Playing ridiculous card games.  Like ones that you don't really win or lose, or take 5 hours and it only matters who wins the last game.  And, wasting time in general.

Not pm-ing Trim.

1. Drinking hooch or beer that you would never touch.
2. Talking about the weather...constantly.
3. Grabbing my arm and saying "SIR!?" when I said something they can't hear.
4. Walking slowly in front of mobs of people.
5. Driving slowly in front of mobs of people.
6. Being racist (only really applies to KU fans)
7. Crowding the $3 blackjack tables at the Golden Eagle Casino
8. Having burst capillaries in their nose and face.
9. Standing at military attention and/or saluting the flag during the national anthem.
10.  Calling every video game a "Nintendo"

GRANDPARENTS SECTION:
11. Making you eat disgusting crap, like "borscht" when all you really want is a PB&J
12. Getting mad when you lock the door to any room in the house
13. Making you pick out a video game to rent that "you and your brother can play together"
14. Making you "go outside and play" when all you really want to do is play video games
15. Not letting you do things your parents would normally let you do
16. Changing their names multiple times upon entering the country thus making it nearly impossible to track their lineage
