Thread: GOMS

And... The world has gone totally PC mad, which drives me to distraction..

Examples:
What is it with hair gel? Maybe passable for under 10 year olds but I’ve seen people 40+ wearing it.
Why does 95% of the population need to be fiddling with the phone all the time? Surely people can get although a meal at a restaurant without taking a photo of the fish n chips and posting it to a website? Apparently not it seems.
Whats the attraction to deadlocks, big hair and pony tails?
Am I the only person without tattoos?
I tried yoga for a more relaxed mindset and harmony with my fellow beings. After doing 2 sessions I now know everything the is to know including Dagwood dogs and baggy pants but it hasn’t helped. I feel I need to seek medical intervention, there must be some medication or behavioural guidance to reduce the growing problem of Grumpy Old Man Syndrome? Can it be helped with medication?

And remember, a gentleman never high fives or fist bumps. A gentleman always calls his friends by their name or a well thought out and significant or comedic nick name, never bro, bud or solid.

There is absolutely Nothing wrong with you Mate, You are perfectly Normal
I am pretty sure that when we are born we are issued with a non renewable supply of ability to ignore dickheads and morons and as we age we slowly run out.
By the time we are in our sixties we are pretty much running on fumes.
The female of our species however seems to have an inexhaustible supply of this and that is most likely the reason why many of us Males are allowed to live beyond our fifties

My wife can't understand why I'm using the word dick head more often these days. I try and explain to her it's because there are more around these days. Nothing wrong with GOMS. You should try walking the streets of Newtown in Sydney. Makes me want to crawl under a nearby rock...... but that's right there aren't any. They have all been removed because somebody May accidentally trip over them and then look for somebody to blame. Oops I'm ranting looks like I need to go look for my meds.........

Is it the grumpies or the polically correct , new age , hipsters who have told the g3neneral public that life is so dangerous.

I am pretty certain that it isn't the Grumpy old Farts that condone all the PC BS that has pervaded our society over the last couple of decades.
