"You Damn Kids are Ruining the World!!!"

Before I start this post I will just tell you that I am 33 years old, and yes it is necessary to the story.

Earlier today I was at the Target and was looking around the electrics department. I apparently cut in front of some elderly couple at the check-out; the truth is they were looking at some cookies on an end isle near the check-out. The old lady(at the top of her lungs) yelled, "Well just go ahead and cut in front of us you F*cking Bastard!!!!!!!!!(is this enough, nope)!!!!!!!!" Now everybody is looking at me like I just killed a kitten, so I offered for her to go in front of me(not a good idea). "No!!!!!!! You just had to F*ck us over because you young people always have to rush and have no time or consideration for anybody except yourself!!!!" She yelled at me.

For the next 2 minutes I listened to how disrespectful America's youth of today is. I cut her off and asked, "Are you going to check out or not!?!" She continues her tirade so I turned around and started to check out. I figured that was over, but I was wrong. The old lady grabbed her husband's(?) Cain and whacked me on the shoulder(really hard). Now if it was anybody but an old lady I would have grabbed that Cain and see what happens when bones and wood collide, which breaks first, but I didn't even turn around. I notice the Target Security guy starts to come over. She yells, "You damn kids are ruining the world, It's all your fault. Your damn generation!" That was it!

"Alright you old B*TCH, Listen up and listen good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I said as I turned around and pointed a finger right in her face. "I'm 30 and and my generation isn't the one in power. My Parent's generation is, and most of them are so damn self-centered and greedy that they will F*ck over anybody or thing they can to get ahead. They also don't seem to be able to keep a family or marriage together. And I believe that your generation is the one that raised them, and what a great job you did!!!!!!!!!" By now the Target Security(Rent-a-Cop) grabbed me by the arm and said, "Come on Sir, you need to come with." I pulled my arm away and turned my attention right to him, "Do that again and I will hurt you(the truth is he could have very easily kicked my ass)." Then the Teller told him what happened, and while that was going on I turned back around and said, "You know your generation has It's blame in how the World is now. Like it or..." The Target cop had to escort me to the service counter to check out and also had to get my info(address and like that). I guess I'll have to talk to damn (real)Cop now. I think I'll avoid that place for awhile.

What is it about the Elderly? Why to they think they have the right to give me, or anybody crap and blame us for how the World is? This happened 1 other time and I just left the situation before it started to get out of hand. I know my generation isn't perfect, We do the best we can(mostly) and ours is really the first generation of Generation Ex(Divorce). Almost half the people I knew in school had been from broken families. I came to terms with my situation a long time ago, but it still bugs me sometimes. The worst thing about it all, is that I don't think I would do any better at the marriage game then my parents did. Actually that's another post for another day. I starting to get a little long so it's time to say; Later...
