Twenty-Three And Crotchety
Over the course of the last year, I came up with the basic four Things That Old Cranky Guys Say. They're very useful sayings, as they can be applied to many situations during life in a college town. Most of them stemmed from my frustration with pedestrian traffic while trying to navigate the various side streets and apartment complexes in my car. It only seemed appropriate that I write these down now that I'm the proverbial "old man" around town here.
So here, in no particular order, are the Things That Old Cranky Guys Say (subject to additions later):
"Put some clothes on!"
"Get a haircut!"
"Turn down that music!"
"Get out of the road!"
Practice saying them every now and then, and I think you'll find that they'll fit nicely into your everyday interactions. Say them in your car, or while riding your bike - even while walking down the street! You'll emanate the cranky old guy attitude in no time.
"Keep off the grass!"
"Slow down, this is a neighborhood!"
"Easy there whippersnapper!"
"And I would have gotten away with it too if it hadn't been for you snooping kids!"
"Back in my day..."
"You kids and your new fangled..."
And don't forget...
The angry man face!
