Old and Tactless

[churchgirl]

Is it just me, or do old people not care what they say. Whatever comes to their mouths, they just say it, regardless of whether it will hurt someone's feelings or not.

Weh day mi an Mama a guh some weh. Mi hear shi lick out "Pickney how yuh titti dem look suh long? Yuh fi wear betta brassiere yuh nuh. Yuh young!" [img]/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I cannot lie, sometimes I'm too offended not to respond [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]. My sister's m-i-l has this habit of saying exactly what comes to mind. One day someone called her house looking for her husband (my sisters f-i-l). I was toward the front of the house, but could hear clear to back of the house when she told the individual that her husband was on the throne, takin' care a biz [img]/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].

Re: Old and Tactless

This is interesting because I seem to notice that if young people should do this, you might call them outspoken ...or... "keeping it real".

BOAL @ MG. "Chile where yuh fatting going?" I can just see it now. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

The funny thing is, they tend to do this and don't see it as a lack of respect but as in Nunya's case once you talk back to them it's "but yuh nuh ez. yuh a smell yuh self".
