No! If they were to attacke us, we should not just let it go, this is true, but to just go over there and say Hey I don't like the way you are doing things, you got to do it my way, No.\n Would you  like your neighbor to come over and tell you how to run your home?

No, they would kill you first to decrease their chances of being annoyed.\n\nO.K. that was mean, but just a joke,sorry.  Your question was actually funny.

The best thing to do is try to  find the nearest elderly person let one go then walk away in disgust leaving the blame to fall onto the poor old dear.  If you have to hold it in try to get to the nearest private place as soon as possible or you may internally combust!

I don't see what the problem is if they are willing. You know the saying the older the berry the sweeter the juice, is it true? Maybe these old folks can show you a trick or two being so much more experienced. Well have fun screwing the elderly. Literally. Good luck.

Call the police. File a complaint with whatever agency is charged with investigating elder abuse. If there was physical harm or damage to property, file a civil suit against the person(s), if they are worth suing civilly.

They might feel threatened by them.

From the Geriatric Tactics Manual GM-25, ed. 1999...\n\n"...as elderly people often regress mentally into a childlike state, appropriate tactics to dealing witha difficult child can be used.....when the elderly patient is difficult or erascible, it is often because they are tired. In these cases, it is an acceptable tactic to set the clocks forward a couple of hours and use a rerun of Matlock to lull them to sleep...." (no nasty emails please, I'm just the messenger).\n\nI would say that while dishonesty is a sin in any form, I don't think the sin-o-meter will spin very hard against you on this one.  Grandma needs her sleep.  You need your sanity.

The threats are disturbing.  Consult the police and be very very careful.  People like that carry out their threats.

You mean to say you are already fighting over your grandmother's possessions before she has even passed away? Terrible! It is her property and whatever decision she makes should be final! She has her reasons for doing this and her final wishes should be honored regardless of what you or anyone else thinks...

I'm not sure exactly what you mean or what you are asking. I'll give this a shot though.\n\nI think that the elderly should be treated with more respect than they get. Like how the Asian culture dote over their elders. That's the way it SHOULD be. However, I find that where I come from, that's not entirely true about the way elderly ARE treated.\n\nI'm in San Diego, CA. and see a lot of the elders treated unfairly in MANY situations. Youth do not give up their seats to them on public transportation the way that they should be. And no one thinks about actally helping the old woman across the street with her groceries. It's as if that's just a myth about how people USED to be. \n\nI find it offensive. I do what I can though to be a decent citizen when ever possible.\n\nI'm not sure if this answer helped you at all, but I'm hoping that it did. Good luck.
