Funny things your grandparents did

[Aegon Spengler]

What are some funny stories about your grandparents? I'm sure everyone has some kinda racist story about their Grandparents because their era was more racist, so feel free to post that if you'd like but i'm not talking about those stories necessarily.

Like my Granny Rose had a thick Irish accent and she used to sit behind me sometimes when i'd play Halo, and when the little grunt convent guys would come on and yell she'd go "aww look at da wee men! Look at em! I like those wee men."

Then of course I'd open fire and she'd go "They're scared of ya don't be shootin em! Aww the wee men are dead now, find some more of dem, I like dem"

It was so random and hilarious. I miss her. She never liked any other video game or anything like that but she'd watch me play Halo.

Oh, also, when i'd put my contacts in my grandparents thought they were just eye-drops and not actual lenses and I couldn't convince them otherwise. One time my Grandpa Mick went: "Ahh those wee drops fix yer eyes Rose you should get those wee drops" and my Grandma said "I don't want to be seein you anyway!"

They were always makin me laugh

My grandma was a badass. I remember this time she took a garden hoe and went after this huge black racer snake. My mom was holding me and my brother tight while grandma was risking her life. This image of her chasing a large snake up a tree is etched in my mind. That thing was hissing at her. She was gonna chop that thing up but couldn't catch it!

This is a black racer.

My asshole sister at age 14 once called my lifetime factory working grandma a "fucking bitch"....I knew better and hauled ass, but when I looked back I saw that she had my sister pinned against the wall and was punching her in the face.


Needless to say, my sister was polite to her after that lol.

I think with each successive generation we are getting really soft.

Lol! You knew enough to high tail it out of there! I've known a few old ladies that would probably do just that.

My grandma likes watching professional wrestling and game shows.

My grandpa had a huge collection of t shirts from the 70's with sayings like "Save Gas, Fart In A Jar" or "Is It Ayotollah Or Assaholah" that he wore every day
They were so old and worn out that they were all pretty much see through with holes like swiss cheese but they lasted for 30 years
Dont see that kinda quality American craftsmanship anymore

These days, the police would arrest her for domestic violence. But knowing my grandma, she probably would have knocked out the police officer as well lol

My grandpa was a farmer and a preacher. When he'd come in from the farm at the end of the day it was Jeopardy and Hee Haw on the tube every week night.

The cops know when to step back too

That's a great memory. I remember that too with the t-shirts. My grandpa had a shirt that said "Harvey Wallbanger" and had the recipe to make that drink.

He also would have his old military buddies over for cards, and as a little kid I remember them drinking whiskey and eating weird, old stuff - like raw hamburger meat in salt with ketchup and Ritz crackers.

My grandma was born early in the 20th century. She wouldn't throw away plastic cups from fast food take outs, & collect them like novelty items.

Lol at being scared of a black racer

Ok, my farmer and preacher grandpa I talked about was poor. Instead of throwing away the ketchup and mustard containers, he'd put water in them and shake them up. That would give you some watered down ketchup on your sandwich and save a few pennies.
