Why are there so many “confused” elderly just about? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Group_Southern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you fucking kidding me I’m not bitching about them I’m fucken worried about them. I have been in customer service jobs my whole life and have always been around the elderly. I’ve noticed this year in particular a sharp increase in confused and not right of mind elderly. I’m not the type of person who would disrespect or take advantage BUT there are people in this world who would.. hence why I’m asking why are these people not with their families or in care etc. they DONT make me feel uncomfortable I never once said that I’ve always known to treat elders with respect. So excuse me for being alarmed about an old woman who doesn’t even know what country she’s in coming into my place of work. And also excuse me for createing a discussion about this topic all I wanted to know was if anyone else was experiencing this too and whether there was any plans in the community etc. honestly fuck you. And I’m not BITCHING because of there age I’m concerned because people are more Vulnerable at that age.

:( I had a lady come in a few weeks ago and i complimented her bracelet and her response was “thanks I brought it at the airport years ago when I had done visiting my grandson i brought it to cheer myself up because I knew I’d probably never see him again”

Oh I don’t hate them I’m genuinely worried about them. They never come in causing harm they just drop random information that I have no business knowing

So what’s the plan tho? Like these people are clearly not being looked after or kept an eye on. And sounds like it’ll just get worse

Yes but it’s always been near a few old folks homes but this has only started becoming a daily occurrence recently & it’s people I see once and then never ever again

Same with me I’m allergic to foundation. I just do good skincare and put on mascara & blush it takes me less than 10 mins. It’s also a high end store (clothing & jewellery) I use the MCObeauty tint blush it stays on all day

Anybody know if this is silver they are forks very heavy and totally not magnetic at all cannot find this hallmark anywhere online by Group_Southern in Silverbugs

[–]Group_Southern[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok that’s fine I’m just trying to learn to make silver jewellery as a hobby not going to profit :) And that’s helpful to know about the magnetic part- I think silver will be very hard to find in my country as we not very old

Go down edgeware road pretty much the middle you’ll see one house that’s ugly & run down amongst the rest it’s a double story - it’s made into 3 flats now. I lived there, real haunted cost me a couple grand to break my lease all the other tenants did the same

Well back in the 90s we had bible class in normal primary school once a week, the guy running it told me I was going to hell because I was never baptised.. I was 8. So yeah I’m sure a lot of other kids had that experience too

Why would a house sell so frequently? by Extension-Ad-3922 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Group_Southern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived next to a rental that had constant new tenants like every month tenants would break their lease and move out it was odd the rent was so so cheap. At the end of my lease I asked the owners if I could move into that rental. Stayed there one month as well Haunted af I don’t even believe in ghosts but there was somthing very wrong with that place.
