Do they not learn it makes you happy to be a nice person?
I dont get it i thought they would get it by the time they reach a certain age!

Some people are just born mean. They aren't happy unless they are miserable and making everyone else miserable too.
They learn nothing...because negativity is what they feed and thrive on.
I worked with an old man like that once and I just wanted to stab him in the eye with a pen --everytime he came to my desk.
Personally, if I ever become like that I want my children to put me in a loony bin somewhere and throw away the key.

They have their own problems. In most cases health deteriorates,speed of work decreases and one feels tired.The other reason is lonlyness.The kids grow up and cannot spend time with them even if they want to.The brothers and sisters are either dead or old,same with friends.
There are only a few who can overcome this and remain happy.It is not that they did not learn to be nice,Even those who were once nice and jolly become grumpy in oldage.The best thing for them is to have a hobby and keep themselves busy.

It bothers me too when some older people become nasty. Luckily not all older people are nasty. I know a lot more nice older people than nasty ones. But, all it takes is just one nasty person to ruin our good thoughts of many nice older people.

The older generation have to deal with high prices on a fixed income, the aches and pains of an aging body every day, medical treatments and pills, being ignored by society, and seeing many of their friends and loved ones die, wouldn't that make you cranky??

People don't bother you when you are mean, rude, etc. They won't ask you dumb questions, they won't try to borrow from you, they won't try to use or abuse you and you can be alone if you want to. If you are mean, people already know not to ask this person because the answer will usually be NO.
It does cause stress, but, for those people that's the price they want to pay to be left alone.

i agree with MariaB to some extent, but i believe if you try newer concepts in your younger years, its possible to make them part of your life if they bear any useful result... people will stay nasty in their old age if they were nasty in their younger years. Pills, pain, loss of loved ones are no reason to be nasty...

most old pple came from the hate generation, they dont know how to be happy or make others happy and they dont care too, so as they get older they become too unhappy and ofcourse will also make those around them unhappy too.

Well, I had a Nana who got progessively nastier as she entered her 90's. When we asked her about it ("Nana, you're getting fiesty in your adulthood!"), she would always say something about her being too old to pick her words to protect the feelings of people who should know better.

Practice makes perfect. The older I get, the nastier I get.
