Today, while life-guarding in a 55+ community, I greeted a man by saying "Good morning Sir!" He responded with, "Cut the shit kid, I'm not that fucking old." FML

Today, while volunteering at a local museum, I politely told an elderly gentleman to have a nice day. He responded by yelling "NO" and storming off. Everyone looked at me like I was some sort of monster. FML

Today, while at work as a lifeguard, an older gentleman who comes in almost every morning wearing a very tight swimming suit, came up to me and said, "I don't want you having any erotic fantasies of me." After a long pause he added, "Actually, I wouldn't mind it if you do." FML

Today, one of my elderly swimming students ran into me at Walmart. Being a polite teenager, I said hi to him. He looked at me surprised and said, "Oh dear! I didn't recognize you with your clothes on!" I'll never forget the look on his wife's face. FML

Today, I was approached by a police officer who instructed me to move because I was "threatening the elderly". I was sitting on a park bench in front of an old folks home. FML

Is this why they hate millennials? Because we won't date them?

Today, as I was fueling my truck, I was asked out to dinner by a 65-year-old retiree. I'm 25. He stormed off and called me a bitch for politely turning him down. FML

Today, at my job in a gas station, a customer who had previously driven off without paying came in to shout abuse at me because I had said in the police statement, "He looks about 60." He is apparently 55. He didn't come in to pay, he came in to swear at me. FML

Today, working as a life guard, I walked through the changing room to go back to the pool. On the way, a naked old man started up a conversation with me. We talked for 10 minutes about pool chemicals, while his penis wobbled around with every small movement. This happens all the time. FML

Today, there was a long queue at the store, and behind me were two senior citizens. I wanted to do a good deed, so I said, "Cut before me in line, I have all the time in the world." My reward? The old man scolded me because I supposedly insinuated that they were old, and only had a short time left to live. FML

Today, while life-guarding, I had to explain to teenage boys that shoving objects up each others' butts and complaining that someone was giving them anal was inappropriate at a family facility in front of kids under the age of 10. FML

Today, I saw an old man who needed help crossing the street. I went over to him and helped him across the street. When he thanked me, I said, "No problem, sir." They responded by hitting me in the happy sacks and screaming that they were a woman. FML

1...apparently that old man is Grumpy Gus in that community. I wouldn't need coffee for that job; that senior would wake me right up talking to me such as OP was talked to.

I'd hope he'd know that. He's fairly obviously just your average angry Old man, probably lived an unfulfilling life.

Very true, im 19 and customers at my job always call me sir. Its really just a way if showing respect.

Smart thinking! Sucking all the ocean water up will not only save himself, but keep other swimmers away from the dangers of the water!

Old people are still just people. Sometimes a bit lacking in self censorship but I mean they're not all identical.

That's because it's fmylife not lovemylife. It's just like the media, it's only the stupid/mean/crazy people that make the news or get a reality TV show.

#5 it appears you misplaced your comment and intended to reply to #3, hence the confusion. (It's a reference to Spongebob sucking up all the ocean water in an attempt to save Patrick.) At least that's what I gathered since I immediately thought of Spongebob when I saw 3's comment, but I could be wrong.
