There's certainly no universal reason that people are irritable.Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-24678879078684585182011-04-05T11:46:04.205-05:002011-04-05T11:46:04.205-05:00Sometimes I wonder if being "cranky" is ...Sometimes I wonder if being "cranky" is a result of the person's pain level. Alot of older pp suffer with arthritus and other very painful dilemas. And other times I wonder if it is a fact of them losing "control" of certain areas of thweir lives.

I mean, if they're cranky, they have a rational reason for feeling as they do and accept a rational solution, explanation, or apology. <br /><br />I have lots of senior customers every day, and most of them are really nice people. I enjoy them.Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-71210919977783641672011-03-30T10:13:42.206-05:002011-03-30T10:13:42.206-05:00When I lived in FL we were surrounded by older peo...When I lived in FL we were surrounded by older people. Some were as sweet as could be, some were not. I always tried to have patience with them because I figured they might have other issues that made them act that way. A lot of them were just down right rude. One time this older man walked past all of us standing in line at the movies and just cut in front. Most people didn't say anything, but a few did. I kind of felt sorry for the man, not because he was old, but because of his thought process. I just could not image in a million years doing something like he did. It's hard some times to have patience, I know the older I get the less I seem to have. But I just keep thinking of that man at the movies and try really hard not to treat others as he treated all of us. :)Stitchy McFlosshttp://stitchymcfloss.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-7038859630921787702011-03-30T06:34:05.491-05:002011-03-30T06:34:05.491-05:00Throw in the lack of patience and the difficulty h...Throw in the lack of patience and the difficulty hearing, and it's not a pretty picture.Collagemamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818246340865714754noreply@blogger.com
