Default Aren't little old ladies wonderful?

Was following somebody in a car yesterday who:
- Sharply stopped over the 2nd white line at a red traffic light, probably only because of the large lump of vehicle crossing her bows
- Then drove in a straight line while the road curved, before deciding that bouncing off the curb might not be the best strategy
- Then didn't go at a left turn green traffic light. Counted to 3 and gave a quick tap on the horn, whereupon this white haired lady turned round and gave me the middle finger! Bit early in the day for your sherry dear.

Went into a supermarket today when another white haired lady asked to help read some lightbulbs, which I happily did. Realised she was Irish so got talking. Few minutes later made my excuses when she started on about how she wanted to "murder those f*****g Muslims."

They're not all innocent grandmas y'know! And yes there are some that are.

Q:

At what age does a female slip from a little lady into the little old lady category.

This could be a tricky one to answer

As long as I stay blonde I can pull the "ditzy blonde" excuse. When it goes grey then I'll be the crazy old lady

Let's just say that, IME, little old ladies do not always have excellent control in those matters either.

I commend the young woman for her self restraint. I would have been sorely tempted to give the ugly old bitch a slap in the kisser.

I liked the last line from old ugly "Speak English you're in Amuricka now so larn it"

Her English makes my south Yorkshire sound almost Eton and Oxford
