Grumpy old people in general is a major pet peeve of mine.
I stay in Cape Town, live in a complex, unit is owned by the company I am employed by. Every single day I have to endure abuse from my rather elderly neighbours. It's either I talk too loudly in my garden, I have the tv on too loud in my bedroom, my washing machine is too noisy, my parking is pathetic apparently, I race through the complex every morning, my car is too loud (Hyundai Getz is loud LOL), my wife takes up all the laundry space on the communal lines, I have too many parts in my garden (yeah because 2 golf bumpers are too many parts), my braai fire smoke affects the(skottle but anyway) etc etc etc
It's getting to a point where I am under constant scrutiny from them and it is practically harassment. I got back home at 1am the other morning and they blocked my parking so that I had to park in the guest parking.
What burns me the most is that if you are 25 years old, you have no right to question the views of senior citizens as that is disrespect, even if they throw racial epithets at you
(my neighbour reckons that he used to shoot "koelies" for fun back in the good old days when he was in the army, as well as passing remarks at my wife if she is outside in our garden.)
I have a meeting with the body corporate tonight, I just hope that this can be resolved, because all efforts to be amicable with them has failed. And 3 months of living here is starting to seriously piss me off to the point where all rational judgement goes out of the window
He then got a way to go right to the righthand turn lane and tried to squeese the guy infront of me out of his lane to get infront of me. This guy was driving a bakkie with a trailer and a quad bike and he had to climb the sidewalk to avoid an accident. I obviously made sure there was no gap for the taxi to get infront of me.
