They know.
Oh yes indeed they know full well what they are doing. When you are old you are entitled to barge to the front of any queue, be as rude as you like to any young whippersnappers (anyone under 50) and let rip with the most noxious old biddy farts in any situation you feel like without even a minor blush. Racism? These oldsters could give the KKK a run for their money, but that's fine. They were brought up when that was normal and acceptable. Also the old women love to make you feel uncomfortable by sitting there with their legs wide open.
Also they smell like TCP.
