  • I’ve seen it many times, and also these classics:

    • Elderly couples entering the store with a shopping cart, then stopping immediately behind the entrance - “Oh, won’t you look at all this stuff in here? Now what do we need again?”, completely oblivious to the queue forming behind them.
    • Old people standing in the middle of aisle intersections with their shopping carts like statues, just… pondering.
    • Old people very slowly paying with coins at the checkout, like one cent at a time.











  • Concidentally, as of lately, Reddit has seemed more “dead” to me than usual.
    And that’s not even counting the egregious “cloned threats” where, within the span of one or a few days, the exact same comments, but with all-different user names, are being copied underneath two headlines with similar topics; or the weird, LLM-written and machine-translated comments that very badly match the topic at hand or the OP they’re replying to, something that’s especially obvious if you visit non-English-language subs.
