Riggs: Geezers Hazardous To Health

Riggs: An older generation of people grew up with no one on the roads and their cars were just rolling sofas to watch the world go by. You see it in check out lines too, where its social hour. As the line goes longer and longer, the yammering continues. OOPS! No debit card! Fiddle fiddle fiddle. DARN! I forgot my PIN number. Lets write a check. Scribble scribble scribble. I forgot to balance this! Oh dear lets use cash. Rustle rustle rustle. Now where is that coin purse full of pennies for exact change? jingle jingle jingle…………By this time I have a beard longer than the guys in ZZ Top!

Question: Does it bug you when Seasoned Citizens slow you down, on the roadways, in the stores, or anywhere else, for that matter?
