heres something ive never been able to fathom. Why do i have a middle aged men complex? I cant stand them!? I hate them!? I despise them!? With their stupid suits and ties and ***** tucked in and nicely pressed trousers and boring lives with their jobs that they think are important that are actually meaingless. Their nice clean cars they pride more than life itself. The way they cross their legs and eat crisps like they do in the adverts. I hate them. I hate them when they talk about nothing other than work all the time. Or cheap offers. Or complain about managers. Or whine and moan about insurance.
Its not like its a pet hate. Its a hatred with passion. I recognise that out of work their probably decent guys who might be a laugh to hang around with. But other than that i feel i just wanna punch them! I feel like just going up to them and shouting violent aggressive abuse at them. Now thats not normal...so any psychologists about? why do you think i think this way? Obviously im not normal but i knew that anyway.

You are frightened of becoming one yourself.

I don't know how old you are or what you do for a living but you sound a little like my husbands ex best friend - still doing part time work at 30, living in a crappy small flat, travelling by bus and mistakenly proud of himself because at least he hasn't ' sold out'!
Maybe you're so angry with them because you feel like they're part of a little group that have left you behind or you're on the offensive because you feel they're mocking you and your lifestyle. Or maybe you're just a psycho

Ah, you mean he's noticed the little paunch hanging over his trendy jeans and that when he brushes his hair he has to start a little further back each time? But it's ok, if he wears those jeans with a nice shirt and maybe a blazer it'll look good and surely if he just brushes that bit of hair over then nobody will notice the thinning part... aaaarrrgggghhh!

I'm middle aged, you sound like the sort of little pip squeak tw&t who think he's hard because he drinks neat shandy and drives Piaggio scooter.

Ok so we have a streak of chicken sh1t, threatening to punch people because they have the temerity if get to middle age, mmm Fair enough, the funny thing is you'll be there too some day but I suspect you'll be sitting on a bench homeless wondering what went wrong, "ok I hated any form of conformity so I didn't bother!, and would you believe it I'm bloody going bald now".
Ok so I conformed a bit I got a carreer and I got myself in a position to afford to do things I really want. Tell you what though, I ride san R1 to work, I don't wear a suit, and belive it or not I have a full head of hair, oh and my car is not at all shiny.
I just think that if you continue with your attitude you'll turn into one of those middle age beggar types hanging around out side my office drinking white lightening.
Here's a free bit of Geezer wisdom: The more you know the more you know you don't know. Guess what, that works in reverse too.
No where to go? Plenty to go mate plenty!

Ah danny....ur fighting the system and straits we're all subject too. Keep rebelling but remember rebels have to find their own way as dont want help.
Ur still a cub in the pride.....but keep thinking independantly as that's what makes king of the pride. Ur observing the adult males and dont like wot u see......you do have vision.

As a middle aged suit wearing man, I have some points.
With their stupid suits and ties and ***** tucked in and nicely pressed trousers and boring lives with their jobs that they think are important that are actually meaningless.
My job is exciting and has meaning. I work in an environment where my job serves to help communities, educators, homebuyers, cultural establishments (museums, art galleries, archaeological remains etc), the rail, road and air industry so that you can travel about easily, and the health sector for your health centres and hospitals. The job is fulfilling and every day is different. I wear an expensive suit and tie, as I take pride in my appearance and wish to convey my professionalism to those that need an authoritive approach. On some days, I wear jeans and trainers, depending on the people I meet.
Their nice clean cars they pride more than life itself.
cont'd....

I have a lovely car and so does my wife. The job affords us nice luxury cars which I have earned. I do not pride them above anything else in my life and more often my car is a driveway ornament.
The way they cross their legs and eat crisps like they do in the adverts. I hate them. I hate them when they talk about nothing other than work all the time. Or cheap offers. Or complain about managers. Or whine and moan about insurance.
I may sit like that occasionally, usually out of respect for the people who do not wish to have my lunchbox thrust at them or my nobbly knees invading their space. I hardly ever talk about work outside of work, unless someone asks about it. I am a manager, why would I complain about myself? Everyone moans about insurance, don’t they?
I recognise that out of work their probably decent guys who might be a laugh to hang around with.
This works both ways, you don’t sound like a laugh, or someone to hang around with. Quite possibly you are indecent. I am happy with my life and am willing to share and spread that happiness. Are you?
All in all, if you hate me for what I am, then who really gives a stuff apart from you?

I think you must just balance out my love for middle aged men. I have always fancied them, especially in suits! OOOHH!!!
|
|
|
I dont quite understand what riles you so danny, believe it or not it will be you one day, even if you refuse to conform, some young kid will look at you and think along the same lines as what you have described, or worse you will be a middle aged man pretending he is still 20 (peter stringfellow)
I quite like middle aged men :D
|
|
|
I much prefer a man to be wearing a smart suit to one in scruffy jeans and footie shirt!!! In fact,men in footie shirts are the biggest turnoff for me.

you don't want to become one yourself? Well, there's only one alternative; I'll leave you to consider how preferable it is.

ohhh i seem to have created quite a stir with my own personal humble opinions. Interesting isnt it - im one little boy who has one small usless opinion, and so many people take seem to have taken it very personally! Well, you know what, i dont give a s hit what anyone here thinks to be honest. I couldnt care less. Your just a bunch of meaningless HTLM code. Am i now supposed to have changed my views? Am i now supposed to have "seen the light"? You might all think im a d ick, and so what, your opinion. What i dont understand is why some people seem to think im arrogant...what do i give that kind of impression? I dont understand how? I might be sarcastic and yup fair play i back chat alot, but i certainly do not imply i know everything. Oh well, atleast if i ever speak out about my opinions in public, (on the street outside an officer drinking white lightning apparently) - ill know what sort of response to recieve in return! So thanks for the advanced warning!
I still dont understand what all the fuss is about. Its my opinion, like it or not. After all, we fight wars based on opinions dont we?
I mean come on, if id have said - i dont like muslims - we'd have another debate on that. I think it quite funny to watch people defend their middle aged life styles! Still - maybe its me. I suppose ive grown up and just realised what a disapointment the adult world actually is. I mean i spent a good portion of my childhood, like most kids, wishing to be an adult - here i am, and to be quite honest - its sh it. Not only sh it, but quite honestly boring.
So screw you and your apprently (as youve tried to argue and failed to convince me) middle aged lives. Yup, i might be middle aged on day...but if i see myself in a middle aged suit, careful driving down the M62 - your nice clean car might get hit by a man falling off a bridge! well, i say man...

wow danny, why so hostile? are you okay?
I respect your opinion and am not taking anything personally, not sure why you seem so aggressive though...

Question Author
lol am i okay? hehe, no one asks danny if he's okay! anyways, ill give you a nice genaric "yeah im fine thanks"
I dunno. Maybe in all honesty, im just tierd with things. I suppose if im really honest, i feel old myself. Im 23, got nothing going for me (yeah yeah yeah i know my own fault and blah blah blah) and before you say anything no i dont want sympathy and no i dont need sympathy.
i mean, i got a good job and i enjoy it (i work with the ambulance service) but i suppose im just sick and tierd of working with such boring people. They probably arent boring really. Its just the same old crap. "Oh i did this with my kids the other day." Like i can relate to that. "I got cheap insurance for my new car." Wow i care, good for you. "I got a new washing machine from this nice cheap place in halifax the other day." Did you? excuse me whilst i give a sh it.
I suppose i just dont understand how so many people live what seem to me like such pointless lives. I mean if i died right now right this minute...big deal. Your right, i make no impact on anyones life, ive made no difference in the world. I sit here and type rubbish wasting away smoking and drinking too much most nights and going nowhere.
so you win. I admit defeat. As much as i hate middle aged men, i suppose i can only accept they have more of a life than me. once again - danny 0 - everyone else, well ive lost count but you get the idea.

Its just conversation and small talk, maybe they don't know how else to converse with you, maybe they don't know about your life and what you did at the weekend because you shut yourself off from them?
Its not about winning or losing. If you feel that your life has been so ineffectual, then why should it be their fault? They are living micro-lives, as are we all. Sometimes we consider the wider picture, sometimes we chat to someone we hardly know about the daffodils we planted at the weekend.
Life is what you make it.

yeah i know, thats why i said you win. Your all right and im wrong. my opinions dont mean jack. I get the point already. In fact lets go no further and say no matter what i say, your right anyway. Cuz you are arent you? Lifes what you make it - and ive obviously f ucked up mine good and proper, so your right, why should i complain? what grounds do i really have to complain? I dont. (im actually not being sarcastic there) I had a random rant. Im sorry. Forget it. It was just an immature rant that doesnt mean anything. Who am i? huh? really who am i? Im not even a spoke, on a wheel. I dont count for nothing. I should just learn to accept that.
oh and by the way Octavius, i hate small talk. ill never understand why people do it. Next time im gonna stop being so polite and just say "look, no offence, but i dont care" Its funny isnt it. I hated school, now i look back and in some wierd way wish i was back at school. No small talk, surrounded by loadsa people with such similar interests, all in the same age range.
hmm...they were right...somethings not right with dannyday5821...shame no one knows but me. Still - the past has a habbit of kickin ya up the arse, which in my case, its clearly done very well.
