Now That I'm Over 50, I No Longer Feel Guilty About ...

Being impatient with idiots who know better and are still being idiots.

Eating anything I choose, sugar be damned.

Getting ticked at people who park in front of my house for over 72 hours, especially in crap cars.

Glaring at parents of rude children who shouldn't be at a PG-13 or R-rated film anyway. (Or upscale restaurants)

Waiting an extra HALF-second to see if it's safe before driving along.

Despising kids who leave skid marks on my sidewalk.

Abhorring kids (or anyone) who sits on my car.

Complaining about things.

I'm 25, so do I get to do half this stuff without guilt, or can I do all of it and only feel half-guilty?
 
You can be the official Sergeant-at-Arms and keep young whippersnappers off our lawns! (With the mod's permission, of course). ;)

And, of course, handle all the heavy lifting ...

Those are all valid pet-peeves.

I don't know why anyone should feel guilty about any of them at any age--except for maybe the sugar.

Giving up on eating well at 50 when the lifespan of an avg male is over 80 is just crazy!!! If anything you should start eating BETTER at 50 as it has more of an impact on health after that age. I'm in better shape at 39 than I was at 29!

RAMA

I'll be 40 in April, and I've long since stopped feeling guilty about anything.

I guess it's all relative.
 
"When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple



with a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
and satin candles, and say we've no money for butter.

I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired
and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
and run my stick along the public railings
and make up for the sobriety of my youth.

I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
and pick the flowers in other people's gardens
and learn to spit.

I will wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
and eat three pounds of sausages at a go
and only bread and pickles for a week.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
and pay our rent and not swear in the street
and set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised

When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple."​

Well you really can't argue with that ~ and I wish to my bones that I'd written it
 
I'm 43 and I dont feel guilty about nothing. I figure I am past my prime, no decent chick wants me and all I got to look forward to is death so I pretty much do and say as I please.

I do all those things anyway, and I'm only 39. ;)

(Anyone who *sits* on my car, though, gets a kick in the head, and possibly small-arms fire as well. Nobody better even *look* at my car the wrong way, or I go stone cold crazy on their ass. :mad: )

You can also no longer feel guilty about not getting it up.

And you know that he can't *HOW*? ;)

Over 50 =

GET THE HELL OUT OF MY YARD!

and wanting to get a gun and shoot anyone who lets their dog crap anywhere but on their own lawns and wanting to make it a machine gun if the person fails to clean up after the mutt.
 
Being 50 means I take less shit from people. I've always been fairly meek, but decided it was too much of a pain in the arse to continue.

(Oh, and getting it up? Not an issue. :devil: )
 
I'm in the over 50 group as well. I find I don't care about the small shit anymore. You can see clearly, as you are getting towards the end of the road of life, what is important and what isn't.
