One matter has been bugging me a lot recently - and that is the behavoiur of young people.
The other day while driving my car, a bunch of young people ran into the street from out of nowhere, when I slammed on my breaks to avoide killing them, they flipped me the bird... It seems like whenever I perform such an act of kindness I've mainly experienced rudeness in return.
When in town the other day 5 young people cut in a queue in front of me at seperate points, when somebody objected, they beat him up.
In the supermarket a gang of young people knocked a load of food off a shelf. They then proceeded to take whatever they wanted, pulled a gun on the guy behind the cash register, took all the money, and fired a few shots in the air as they left the store laughing at us all.
Later in the supermarket a young person just barged into into an old man who was just walking down an isle. The old man just looked at the young person, and before he could say anything, the young person pulled a knife and threatened him. Later, when the old man left the store, he was killed by gunfire coming from a passing car... witnesses claim they heard somebody scream... that's what you get old man for getting in my way.
I swear, they complain about the old being rude and uncouth yet behave like this. My friends have similar experiences.
What about you? Am I just being ageist or are young people just being rude?

It is a big problem with old people about their rudeness. They've been told for years that they're the "Greatest Generation" and now they expect kindness and gifts from all the youth of the world.
Attention old fogeys:
World War II was 60 years ago. What have you done for us lately?
