I am sorry if this is offensive to any elderly, but I am getting so sick of my soon-to-pension father who does nothing but complain about other people. They do everything wrong with the undertone, but never explicitly said, that he knows better than them.
Especially journalist, oh he loves complaining about them and how they are hiding the truth because they didn’t report about something that he knows is true in a short news article or clip (often the fact he mentions is true, but it is a really niche knowledge and he has always struggled with the idea that other people don’t know everything he knows).
This has gotten worse and worse as he gets older. We used to always discuss politics and what works and what doesn’t and I enjoy those conversations, but lately he is getting stuck on topics and gets very very repetitive. He is also getting sensitive about it, getting upset and raising his voice when I don’t agree with him.
have anyone else experienced this with their beloved elders? This is common stereotype for elderly, especially elderly men, but it is so true for him! I do remember my grandpa also being like this, although he never talked about politics.
om 61, i too am complaining about people complaining
but seriously, I can only agree , whiney old white guys are ubiquitous. as an old white guy sick of it.
I understand that someone who has seen a lot in life and have a lot of experience will be annoyed when they see someone do something the wrong way for the millionth time, which you know has never worked in the past. But the constant complaining about it and complaining about the same thing too. It isn’t like complaining about it the 311th time is going to fix it… I just had a argument with him, so I guess I am just venting.
