Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for February 07, 2023

Isn’t it way too late for that?

The Roaring Forties.

Wait til you’re in your 80s. Dogs cross the street when they see more coming.

WARNING irritation factor 40+

Then there’s the Furious Fifties.

But, You look like you are in your 50’s…

Unlike men, auntie, who learn how to ignore the BS and filter in the necessary. Keeps the divorce and murder rates down.

Come on Aunty – you long saw the backside of forty.

The trick is: don’t let anyone irritate you. Don’t give them that power. Brush them off.

“We’re you trying to be rude to me sir? I’m sorry, I didn’t notice.”

Accurate timeline

Aunty, I think we all agree, you are quite disagreeable.

Aunty, I’m in my late 60’s and you are no lady so don’t push you luck.

I doubt she has seen the forties since the forties.

I’m in my late 60s. Fear me. I am cranky.

Might be some truth to the process… As an older and more experienced adult (compared to who I was as a young adult) I have developed the patience of Job but have ZERO tolerance for the bs that is now rampant (people thinking they are more highly entitled, rich folks whining about their wine and other vital things, politicians out for only themselves, kids that know EVERYthing, etc.).

She might beat the Shitake out of them…

Then you should fear for yourself.

That is a lot of power for one person to carry. Maybe learn some manners instead.

I’m in the Swearing 70s now.

i was a dumba$$ with a mean temper in my younger days, but i’ve mellowed with age. now i’m just a dumba$$…

Fourties? When? At the end of the twentieth century?

And unfortunately, not to be blamed on increasing age, there seems to be WWWAAAAYYYYYY more bu115hit, garbage, idiots, obliviots and so on as time goes on.I’m pretty sure it’s “their” fault given so many of the very poor attitudes displayed by so many people now.And the media, very definitely including anti social media, certainly plays a big part
