Don’t Mess With the Old Ladies

September 17, 2006 - 4:26 PM by

Tel Aviv has some feisty senior citizens — if you’ve ever done your grocery shopping in the city, you’ll have had an encounter like Stephanie’s:

Older woman at crowded Tel Aviv supermarket checkout:

Well I’ll be. How can my bill be this high? Did I spend that much on these few things? Let me see. I’ll have to go through this and make sure it’s correct

Stephanie: “Lady, you need to take your receipt over to the side and look at it there. You’re holding up the entire line.”

Older woman: If I want to stand here and check my grocery bill then that’s what I’ll do! Don’t you tell me what to do! Young people. So rude!

****five minutes later at busy intersection outside supermarket***

Same mature woman: Do you feel better now that you rushed me? Here we both are at the same time so I see it did you a lot of good. Now help me cross the street. I don’t see well and I’m afraid I’ll fall

(yeah, of course I helped her)
