Anti-Social Pensioners.
 

Couldnt help myself but to post this.

Waiting at the 'Oswaldtwistle School' this morning, the Hyndburn Circular arrives, soon to be departing to Accrington. Alighting the bus I felt as though Id gatecrashed an old folks day outing. I walked towards the back of the bus (like the chavvy young people of todays society do - yeah right) and sat down.

I was astonished to begin watching two elderly male pensioners fight with their walking sticks. Later did I find out they were obviously under the influence of alcohol.. when one of the men pulled out an opened can of Carling out of his torn coat, taking a drink on the none eating/drinking bus.

Arriving into Accrington, one broke into a song, which fair enough.. raising your voice on a bus full of elderly ladies shaking their heads in disgust, but it was so bad, I cannot provide you with the information as to what song they were 'attempting' to sing. :rolleyes: After hitting the frames of the bus a few times with 'the stick' they clambered off. And boy.. did they smell.

Not complaining by the way - just thought it was quite amusing to watch. And think the thread title has a kinda ring to it.. :rolleyes:

i blame benny hill for starting diabolical behaviour in pensioners, it was his Hells Grannies that set everything off.:D

It's nice to see the old boy's of Rhyddings still managing to get out and about.:D

I was watching 'The One Show' last night (don't ask me why, its not my normal viewing) and there was a story about an elderly man who had been attacked in a seaside town somewhere (I forget the name.. sorry). He walked throught the streets with a broken nose and two broken wrists, past quite a few people and nobody offered him any help.

The BBC then decided to employ actors to see if anybody in the town would actually help. One of these people was a lady who appeared to be pregnant and was clearly distressed. Anyway, now i get to my point...

The lady walked past a pair of elderly women who did not offer her any help. When the BBC correspondant asked them why they had not helped her they said, "Well we are only here for the day."

Now, if that isn't anti-social then i don't know what is!

LOL! It could always be a Moorhead lot. Though one of them would probably have ended up through the bus window

Re: Anti-Social Pensioners.
 

Couldnt agree more. We did something like that at college. Had a pot put on a boy on his foot, gave him some crutches etc.. and secretly filmed him falling in Rawtenstall town centre. Not one person (Including these rebelious pensioners) stopped to see if he was alright.

Hehe. Funny though.

I could imagine if you knew. There was an old man collapsed in preston on saturday and nobody batted an eyelid. Not even the older people that were walking

Term time.

The time when unnecessary trips to the local shops are to be avoided at all costs, especially at lunch or 'letting out' time.:(

The bad language, the surly pushing, the evil stares...and that's just me trying to get through the mob of school children to pay for my milk.:D

Re: Anti-Social Pensioners.
 

MAkes a change from anti social teenagers. Seen women fight so why cant pensioners be any different. Maybe they have been watching to much Last Of The Summer Wine. :eek:

Re: Anti-Social Pensioners.
 

And if you go to a pub near a college beware of a shortage of beer. And the evil stares from the regulars when they get told the barrels run out.

Re: Anti-Social Pensioners.
 

The voice of experience. Is it fun getting chased by angry thirsty pensioners? :p

Re: Anti-Social Pensioners.
 

Erm..... yes it was. It was more us crowding round the bar and getting in the way. New college in durham tho (uni bar) and theres no blood thirsty pensioners and it never runs out of beer cos none of us can afford it!!! LOL!!!

Re: Anti-Social Pensioners.
 

Student poverty I take it. You saying that a pensioner is better off than you are? :eek: Could always get a few in to liven it up a bit. :D

Re: Anti-Social Pensioners.
 

I am indeed. The fact that i have no money and my student loan doesnt even cover my rent and food bills.... Kinda got a £250 shortfall. N thats eating hardly anything. Parents really should give me some money shouldnt they?
