Today, my grandpa was visiting. My neighbors started blasting out rap music, as they've done nearly 24/7 for months, telling me to fuck off when I complain. He went over and screamed he'd gut them like fish if they didn't pipe down. They did. He's 68 and still more intimidating than me. FML

In my personal experience grandfathers tend to be rather intimidating so I'm not surprised. Be glad you're grandfather stood up for you.

Atleast they know how to respect elders. Plus in my opinion older people are always more intimadating. They got that look

I don't know man, old people can be scary sometimes.

The grandpa could have seen some crazy shit in some past wars to make him someone not to **** with, or he could just be a bad ass in general, either way he gets the job done

My grandpa was like that. The man spent three years of his life as a Marine in the Korean War. He always said, 'The day I find something more intimidating that the entire Chinese army is the day I back down'. I'm pretty sure his stare alone killed more people than smallpox.

When a 68 year old man walks over to a group of people with a giant hunting knife and tells them he is going to "gut them like fish," you'd better damn well listen, or you're getting gut like a fish!

That's because they're unpredictable because of the amount of diseases they could have an because they are from the 'good ol' days'

Walks into the house "pip down you basterds!"

Hmm and grandfather like Clint Eastwood? Man, I wish!

You just don't mess with old people unless they're creepy.

No dude, especially if they are creepy. Its a really horrifying and traumatizing experience when a creepy old dude hits on you. Just sayin lol

If it really is that traumatizing for you, try laughing him away. Point at him for good measure.

32: Elderly retired marines - scarier than when they were still in the military. (Give them a cane and me a gun, I'm still running the hell away. Wimp? Yes. I kinda like living though.)

Old men tend to generate respect because u can usually be sure they have been thru some shit and will tell u how it is

If there's one thing we can learn from YouTube, it's old men can kick some ass.

My foster father is 76 and he still looks like he could take someone almost 50 years younger than him. He could probably run you through with his golf clubs if he tried.

Haven't you seen the movie Gran Torino? That taught me not to **** with old men.

I'd say they're intimidating because back in their day you could get away with more than you could today, like they could beat their kids and stuff. So the threats they give are dead serious

Atleast they know how to respect elders. Plus in my opinion older people are always more intimadating. They got that look

Nope. Young Clint learned the look from the awesome old guys.

"Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while you shouldn't have ****** with? *Spits* That's me." Op's grandpa said that at the end.

95 - because your a toolbag who has a ******* terrible haircut and wear hollister. plus their intelligence and experience with the world is far more superior to yours and your "swag". Personally i respect them because of what my elders have done. My grandfather is one of the last mathmations(i dont know haow to spell it correctly) alive who have worked on the manhattan project. He worked hand on hand with Oppenheimer and Einstein. Allan Vorwald. look him up. 93 years old and still remembers in details what the first conputer looked like. and that is why i respect them.

I was simply asking a question, so why you feel the need to personally insult me I don't understand. Your grandfather sounds like a brilliant man, who achieved a great amount for both himself and humanity, therefore I respect him. What I don't respect is people who say we should respect our elders simply because they're older than us - respect is earned through experience, not granted with age.

By the people who spout 'respect your elders; they're older/wiser/more experienced etc' logic, I should respect a 70 year old man, even though his house is paid for by the government, he's never had a job and lives off the government, alcohol and drug addicted, beats his wife and children and occasionally rapes his teenage daughter, simply because he's older than me? Do you see my point?

Hey at least they will keep it down hopefully :) maybe you should get him to give you some pointers

Watch out guys, we got a grandpa over here!

Some people tend to respect elderly more. But yeah at least they quiet down, who cares whether you did the job or your grandpa did. --- edit Oops 3 already said what I wanted to say, kinda

Gut you like a fish... Hehe. I haven't heard that saying in awhile but it still makes me laugh.

If u can laugh at an old ass marine holding a kabar saying it.... I wish u luck in the next life cuz to ass is dead

I guess they're more respectful of elders? Or just the fact that old people don't have much to lose and are scary as hell sometimes. Especially with guns

#16 The first two comments didn't give it away, but it finally broke through to me on this one! You like the movie Gran Torino? Oh man, I hope I guessed right! :P

Unlike you your grandfather is an auhoritative figure. They probably have father issues and crave attention from adults

Or the idea of being gutted like a fish shut them up.. I'm gonna go with this

9 - No no! That's only for the single women at the bar! Has Barney taught you nothing!?

Get a scar on your face. That'll make you scary.

Not much is scarier than a guy who looks like he has seen some ****** up shit and threatens to do ****** up shit if you don't do what they say. I would have turned my music off too! But I probably would have listened even when OP asked.
