I just don't get itPoor Semiret, he's foreign and has no idea if he "should laugh about the whole 'only playing music when they are out of ice cream' thing or not." There's also a Far Side cartoon that has had him stumped for almost 20 years.
What don't you understand? What have you politely gone along with whilst internally going WTF?

Old peopleI think the whole "respect your elders" thing is a great big pile of bullshit.
Just because they are old and "allegedly" wise and all that crap does not mean they are superior and be worshipped like some sort of a sodding deity. I mean, who created World War 1 and 2 for example? not me or people under 30.
They are human, not perfect, and get things wrong like most people. They seem to get to a age where they are under the belief they can be as shitty and arrogant as they want, and think they're the centre of the sodding universe. Here is an example: old people barging through shopping queues because they are old and speaking to people like crap.
Try walking around St Helens town centre. Bloody full of them, they're no different to Chavs (eg. don't work, get up when they want, they're on drink and or drugs, and loiter around shopping centres. My girl used to work there, and they get up at the "crack of sparrow fart"* and stay in the town centre all day).
Think about it...
