"That sucks."
I read a story a few years ago from some lady in montana or colorado, she picked up some hitchhiker in the 70's and she started talking the gospel to him, that evil fucker couldn't wait to get away from her. She later found out that Ted Bundy had escaped from the local jail and was on the loose. It was him.I just say, “Have you heard the news? Christ is returning.”
There’s no faster way to make someone want to end the conversation.
Old people really strain one's patience. I had an old friend, just hated everyone and everything and had nothing nice to say about anyone. I finally had to cut him off, he pissed me off telling me, "what have you done all these years". Like I'm out here just fucking off and not making money for the fun of it. Our friendship never recovered, he died in 2017 and I mourned him, still do. I shouldn't have reacted like that, I feel guilty over it but people period are a trip. If you're coming to them, helping them, giving them your time it's something that's sacred and should be treated that way, not shit upon. We never spoke again, sadly.I have a woman in my orbit who’s in her seventies and absolutely miserable. Politely ask her how she is and oh man, now you’re in for it. You’ll hear about how absolutely terrible life is in every way and it’s never ending. I don’t even say anything. Might throw in an, “oh!” But yeah I just . . . Avoid her for the most part lmao.
