Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting.
Well, for example, the other day, my wife and I went into town and visited a shop.
When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.
We went up to him and I said, “Come on man how about giving a senior citizen a break?'
He ignored us and continued writing the ticket.
I called him an "a**hole”.
He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn-out tires.
So the wife called him a "s**t head".
He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first.
Then he started writing more tickets.
This went on for about 20 minutes.
The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote.
Just then our bus arrived, and we got on it and went home.
We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired.
It's important at our age.

I'm sure it amused you but what about the poor owner of the car, and the police officer was only doing his job?

In reality retirement is much more complex judging by some of our neighbours , they are looking after their grandchildren as their children are at work or on holiday and they are also looking after their elderly parents !

That's where most of us are madmax especially if you retire early.....

We had the leaders post included in "Tongue in cheek Friday humour" thread a good time ago - it is quite an "old" joke Adrian.

Still funny though :snowlaugh:

Yep, and 'looking after' will often mean financially as well - sandwiched between school and university fees on one hand and care home fees on the other as the State options are either unavailable or of such poor quality (in the more overcrowded bits of the UK) that you would not wish it upon your loved ones.

Fully agree Stuart. It can be a terrible time when yuor parents are old & sick and facing that. Fortunately Mum died before she could move into a home. Those places (even the private ones)scared me. I have nothing but respect for the poor care workers who are often stretched to breaking point.
