The perks of being old

Everyone is afraid of aging but actually it's not such a drama.

Yesterday I went to the post office to get a paper finalized, there were a lot of people and I had been waiting for half and an hour, I would have really loved to seat sit down, but all the seats were occupied by seniors.
That's the moment I realized that maybe there were some perks to being older, so to kill time I wrote a list about all the advantages of being old.

This is the result:

-You'll always get seats

-You'll get incredibly a lot more easygoing ( I don't know how it works abroad, but here in Italy, or at least in my city, the seniors'll come to talk with you in any situation for any reasons.. Sometimes is it's not so nice, especially if you're late..) :P

-You have more time to spend doing things you like

-It's easier to make friends since every old person feels alone

-free money every month without any effort (pension)

-Being ugly is justified

-Cooking skills (as well as any other talents developed over the years) improve

-On bad days you can verbally or physically attack someone using the sudden-Alzheimer-attack excuse

-You can appreciate again the joy of having kids without the dare hassle of having them in the way everyday

-Everyone must keep up with you and none can complain

-You could assume hire someone to feed, dress or wash you , the important thing is just to stay alive

-Clothes that would be considered sloppy and old-fashioned are now stylish
-If you want to F**k with someone, nobody would ever suspect of an old adorable lady/gentleman

Probably I should have just waited my turn sitting on the floor.

Lmao! Hilarious article. Your english is pretty good!
