I guess Age comes with Patience

in #seniorcitizen5 years ago

This senior citizen sitting beside me was seriously googling "latest Manchester United transfer"(took him like 10minutes to type it and it was a long ride) and for some reason I thought it was cute, despite his affiliation to the red devils.

His internet was frustratingly slow(at least to me) as he struggled with the awful part of 3G network that I can only refer to as "H-" but that didn't stop him. This guy looked at his screen for straight 40 seconds or so as the search page loaded then waited another 30seconds to open an article about Bruno Fernandes and Ashley Young.

If a page takes longer than 5seconds to load, you better believe I'm cutting off my internet and cursing out my network provider for ruining my life. I'm an entitled little shit and a product of our times.

The older generation survived through some tough times and I guess all this internet and stuff is a luxury to them. I really admire and respect his patience, and I quite frankly think senior citizens are cute. Usually richer and very cute in a cuddly, huggy type of way.

Man. Since leaving the US, Long Beach, California to be exact, I've been in dudes shoes. I’m used to a 4G network that’s lightning speed compared to anywhere else’s WiFi—true story. Yeah, yeah, I’m spoiled, whatever!

But the connection in Rome, bro. Oh fuuuuuuu! Hands down, without a doubt, the worst connection I’ve experienced since learning how to turn these devices on.

🤔 Now if I could just figure out how to shut them off. “Baby steps” (speaking of shoes, of course).

Older people take things so easy. I'd lose my mind if there's an electronic in my possession I don't know how to fuck with.

Looked up"dudes shoes" and all I saw were a bunch of loafers looking shoes that would look good on an old guy wearing shorts and hanging a camera on his neck. He's also very hairy.

Lol! That’s funny! Dudes shoes, as in, the guy you watched waiting for umpteen seconds for his phone to cooperate—his shoes, not literally, figuratively.

Speaking of figuratively, were those hairy guys in good shape? I hope it wasn’t just from the neck below cuz nothing’s sexier than hairy ears.

Extra points when you do braids or dreadlocks with your ear hair. Only nose hair and goat meat comes close
