Don’t Mess with Seniors—They’ve Seen It All!
In a nearly empty store at a Florida mall, two young businessmen leaned against a counter, taking a break. Their soon-to-open shop was still a work in progress—bare shelves, empty display racks, and the scent of fresh paint lingering in the air.
One of them smirked and nudged his buddy. “I bet any second now, some old-timer is gonna walk by, press his face against the window, and ask what we’re selling.”
They chuckled, feeling oh-so-clever.
Right on cue, as if the universe had a sense of humor, a senior gentleman strolled past, slowed down, and peered through the glass. He tapped on the window, squinting inside, then called out in a loud, clear voice, “What are y’all sellin’ here?”
The young men exchanged grins. Here was their chance for some fun.
With a cocky smirk, one of them shot back, “We’re selling ass-holes.”
Silence.
For a split second, the old man just stared at them. Then, without missing a beat, he shrugged and fired back:
“Well, business must be good—you’ve only got two left!”
Touché.
As the old man strolled away, leaving them speechless, the lesson became clear—never underestimate a senior citizen. They’ve seen it all, they’ve heard it all, and they’ve got comebacks sharper than a steak knife.
