Old people who look through their drapes because they have no life should be euthanized.

This weekend I went the library to check out some books. There was an RV parked in the lot across five spaces. I knew what was going on -- a retired couple who had sold their house and bought an RV.

I noticed they had a map of the U.S. painted on the side, with the western part filled in. I walked over and looked at it for a few seconds. Sure enough, the western part had been professionally painted, but the eastern part was blank. I assumed the map showed the states they had visted.

As I walked away, I heard a hysterical "There's someone at the door!!!"

An old fat guy charged out. "What are you doing?!?!"

Me: What's it to you?

"It's my RV!"

"So what?"

"Stay away from it!"

"And if I don't, what are you going to do?"

I think about then he realized he was in over his head.

"I'll call the police!"

"They'll tell you to move your illegally-parked van, which you are obviously living in."

Apparently he realized he was going to lose this encounter, so he turned and walked away. I called after him, "Never start an argument you cannot win."

I've seen these things before, with old retired people who have no life, so they watch everything through their drapes and call the police. "Look at the cat! He doesn't belong here! Why is that guy walking his dog? He doesn't live on block! Call the police!"

Some years ago an old geezer kept looking out his drapes and caught a teenager cutting across the edge of his corner lot. He charged out and yelled at him.

The teenager got smart and started stomping on the guy's lawn. So the geezer shot him. He got life in prison and committed suicide in it at about age 69.

Some people are complete morons.

Geez turtle you are tuff on us.

You are correct, cut 'em no slack. They are all 100 per cent consumers, air, food and water, and they produce nothing.

The only requirement you need to decide on, is what age would you terminate the useless eaters?

We can start from there.

We used to pass an old man who always was walking the 2-3 mile distance back to his old 'needs painting' house just down Cow Hill Road in Clinton, CT from us when I was younger and in my Mom's Oldsmobile.

I would always prompt her, "Give him a ride, come on." to which she would say no and remark on his seemingly scowling face.

Then one day she listened to me and we wee treated with very delightful and intelligent conversation from this retired teacher who didn't seem to have a scowling bone in his body when he spoke.

She started routinely giving Mr. Curley a ride. Never judge a book by it's cover. Lots of 'drape apes' are just lonely people more into observing life then they once were.

great story, thanks -

If observing life doesn't put a scowl on your face, nothing will.

I had empathy back then for Mr. Curley as I went to a private school I had won a scholarship for, and had to walk those miles from Route I-95 to our house on Cow Hill Road just past Egypt Lane quite a bit myself. So it wasn't hard to make that pitch to give him a ride.

I've looked on Google Earth and I notice his old house is gone. If you have that program, enter Airline Road and Cow Hill Road in Clinton, CT and you will see an old red one room school house built in 1800 on a triangle of landbetween roadways. He lived near there.

It is an interesting icon from days when Clinton was just a lazy New England coastal village.

This thread made me think of that as he was just one of the older folks living in that area I used to know who are dead and gone, many of them having been customers of mine when I delivered The Hartford Courant as a boy.

I turned 58 this month and was reflecting about them and how they lived in a world with much more privacy then we are grudgingly granted in modern life.

Now there are less drapes and more security cameras and drone aircraft. By the time the kids of today are in their fifties and beyond, will they even be allowed to have even bodies not requited to have identification tags implanted?

Yes indeed. I know about the life making one scowl well.

Lot to be said for being a hermit these days.

Last one I knew was way back in the late 1940s.

The olde gentleman was in his eighties, lived back in the hills with only his horse and dog for company.

In summer he came to town on Saturdays, horse and buggy and his olde dog riding shotgun. The dog never ever left his seat in the buggy, never acknowledged people that tried to talk to him.

The olde man never socialized, but spoke to everyone he passed, did his buying errands, then he and his companions were off again back in the hills.
