Best Senior Moment Ever:

[ShadowTiger]

This incident was recorded in the police log of Sarasota, Florida.

An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle. She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at the top of her voice, "I have a gun, and I know how to use it! Get out of the car!"

The four men didn't wait for a second invitation. They got out and ran like mad. The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and got into the driver's seat. She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition. She tried and tried, and then it dawned on her why. For the same reason she did not understand why there was a football, a Frisbee and two 12 packs! in the front seat.

A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four or five spaces further down the parking lot. She loaded her bags into the car and drove to the police station to report her mistake. The sergeant to whom she told the story couldn't stop laughing. He pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale men were reporting a car jacking by a mad, elderly woman described as white, less than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and carrying a large handgun. No charges were filed.

Moral of the story? If you're going to have a Senior Moment, make it memorable.

People post jokes so people can enjoy them, not so they can say something like "I already read this one! :mad: "

I probably should have posted this in the Jokes thread up above, but it's not so much as a "Joke" as a "funny story." It's a great "What a coincidence!" discussion thread as well. Being in the wrong place at the right time sort of thing. >>.

I was being serious. I don't get things like this in my e-mails - just the occasional badly spelt porn message that doesn't make any sense. It's always nice to read stories like this, especially when you've spent half an hour walking home in the rain and are still drying out!

[Prrkitty]

I about spit my swallow of drink onto my monitor when I read that!! Thanks for the laugh ST <hug>.

I've got one I'm not sure should be in the jokes thread... or not. It's actual 9-1-1 calls. Any pointers?

It's own thread or in the jokes thread?

That certainly is one hell of a Senior moment. Old people.......... always assuming us young'ins are out to get them.

[Archibaldo]

Old people can be pretty scary. Back when I worked at an old folks home, I would bewashing dishes and this old lady would come into the kitchen and start talking to me. The thing is, she was a low talker. I couldn't hear a single word she said. Then she'd expect an answer and I'd be like "uhhh, sure". I usually had to stall her untill one of the nurses walked by. Scary shit right there.

This is funny, but I didn't laugh aloud, because crap like this happens ALL DAY LONG where I work.

For instance, there's this guy named Bernie. He's in good physical shape, but he can't communicate clearly (though random words and phrases come through just fine, but they make little sense). Like any elderly person in his condition, he's prone to having mood swings, and when he does, you had either be strong enough to stand your ground, or fast enough to dodge.

Anyway, I'm about the only person who works at my job and also falls into category number one. Provided the old man doesn't get ahold of my kidney (or other sensitive parts), I can usually hold him at bay until he calms down. In one particular instance, he's very worked up about something or other (lots of things can trigger old-man rage), so I'm holding his sleeves in order not to bruise his wrists or let him squeeze the life out of my fingers, and what does he do? He opens his mouth and tries to bite me, Gollum style, with all four of his teeth. And then what does he do?

He relaxes, laughs, and says "I like you!".

[Darth Marsden]

See, things like that are why I never want to work in a care home, despite my parents constantly telling me I'd be good there. I wouldn't have anywhere near enough patience. I'm amazed people like you do, Raven.
