Have you ever noticed that people over the age of 65 basically have complete social immunity? Our elders can do almost whatever they want but no one judges them and they definitely take advantage of that. This list includes things that old people can do that would be weird if anyone else did.
1. Make you keep eating even when you are full.
Even if you are about to explode after eating an entire Thanksgiving dinner, if grandma tells you you need more meat on your bones, you will surely be eating some pie in no time.
2. "Rest their eyes"
Any old person can say this and automatically has an excuse to sleep anywhere. But God forbid I fall asleep in class.
3. Hate society
Any youths who hate society are automatically considered hipster, but for gramps complaining about that darn hip hop music is all part of a days work.
4. Having everything they do in their relationship be considered "cute"
Be honest, if you see an old lady and her husband walking down the street in matching clothes you would struggle to keep in your "aaawwws"; however, there is no way you would let your bff and her boyfriend walk out of the house with anything matching.
5. Carry everything they own in their purse
Grandma's purse is the real gateway to Narnia. I get weighed down by anything other than my phone.
6. Put on glasses to look at their phone.
(or to look at anything)
7. Tell off your parents
Could you imagine if your friend told your parents to leave you alone? If your grandparents yell at your parents its all good, and you're a little happy about it.
8. Play matchmaker
Your elders are always trying to hook you up with someone. Doesn't matter who they are. If you are single and they are single, to grandma it was a match made in heaven.
9. Actually partake in internet trends
Whipping, dabbing, nay naying? If you posted a video or picture doing any such thing your friends would disown you. If an old person does it, instant internet fame.
10. Pop pills
If you are under 60 and pop pills, you have a problem. If you are above 60 it is just a necessary part of staying alive.
11. Say anything they want
When someone old cusses or says something racist you usually just chuckle and shrug it off. If a young person even sneezes they are automatically offending everyone.
12. Make alcohol/drug references
When you get old you have got a lot of years and a lot of experiences under your belt. Those experiences are gonna slip out every once and a while. It's not like they have to worry about their moms finding out.
Old people get away with a lot, but society is better that way! We are all waiting for the day when we get old enough to whatever we want.
If your grandparents use the facebook, make sure you tag them!
