You need to relax... seriously - relax - and calm down.
If half the things you're complaining about are true and rile so much, you aren't going to make 60.
Bring on a stroke or heart attack and then see how your attitude changes?
There are only two things wrong in your world - young people and old people - and you are both of them.
Forget the young idiots - they just haven't got old yet People get old and the world overtakes them.
You think "I have enough s
t of my own to deal with without solving the worlds problems" you don't, really you don't, and if you really do think 'you have enough st to deal with' maybe you could get someone to break both your legs and then see how much st you have to deal with when meeting a few more of the people in this world with your attitude.
I'm fking sick of reading crap like this on PH - you do not have enough st to deal with apart from an expensive car and an alleged 'mid-life-crisis'.
FFS - look around you and make a considered conscious decision as to whether you really are that hard done by, and mayne, just maybe you might consider if you can give all the other people that occupy this planet a bit of a break too. Maybe even help them out a bit too.

The irony of this thread is that it's now clear that a lot of people think like me but I still don't like any of you.
it's alright. We know it's an age thing. Sit down, have a werthers, grab the paper, turn to where page three used to be, look back at your missus and dream of how things used to be

This is the best topic in the off-topic section, some of your posts made me laugh so hard that I'd had to wipe the tears off my face. And fk, they are spot on aswell, many of you.
43 y/o, very charming, tolerant and easy going, and I fking hate everybody, people in general are self obcessed retards. Driving usually makes me scream out loud within the first 5 minutes in my car, when at work (truck driver) that time is usually reduced to under a minute. Queing, us Swedes love a good queue, not this one, my blood pressure shoots through the roof if I have to wait 5 minutes for a family of 5 before me at McDonalds for example who in turn had been in the same queue as me for the last 10 minutes and still have no fking idea what to order when they get to the counter...
But as stated with age comes a certain ability to know what to rage over and what not to rage over, and thats good I guess. And my fking hair is falling out. fk! 
Edit, spelling like a moron. fk...

Mid fifties here and just had the displeasure of dealing with the two most incompetent professions:
1. Used car salesmen. Why do you have "Satisfied is not good enough for us, we want you to be completely satisfied" on your wall when you don't even ask me? Do you assume I am "completely satisfied if I don't come in ranting? Well I'm NOT SATISFIED but your response to my email proves you don't give a st.
2. Estate Agents. Every time I have to deal with them they are worse than before and have now sunk to an all time low. What the fk do they do? They do not call back, inform you of new properties, fail to show up to appointments. I think the only way to buy a property is to go in person, book an appointment and then offer the full asking price there and then. Otherwise you are forgotten and someone else walks through the door. The sooner these dinosaurs are exticnct the better.
I think I qualify....

I was clearly saving it up for now. My default position on most things is the opposite to the general view or to what's actually happening.
I've somehow managed to become right and left wing at once. I get angered by dole claiming benefits scroungers and furious about migrants but I'm now a strong supporter of unions, and dislike many government policies.
During the election I went to a candidates debate which adjourned to a hotel bar. I was discussing this with my MP (Labour) and he told me there were a lot of politically confused grumpy right wing-left wing blokes of my age out there, I ended up drinking with some Socialist Worker types . We had a great laugh. All about my age and just pissed off with stuff. We disagreed politically but agreed that the world was full of t
ts who just don't get it.A year or two back I started going to church regularly. Mainly because I thought I may become a bit more tolerant if I spent some specific time each week thinking about stuff, how I behaved. It was fine until the stupid smug out of touch smiley vicar gave a sermon about something I disagreed with. There was a big local issue - quite controversial - and in another sermon he basically put forward one view as gospel. Then one week his curate hijacked the whole service to whinge on about the vote going against women bishops. As it stood I agreed but it wasn't her place to expect a whole congregation to pray to God to get him to change the vote.
