"Being old isn't an excuse to be nasty. But I have noticed with my parents that certain social filters seem to get turned off. It can be embarrassing.
"
Exactly, Some seem to be under the weird belief that just being old should garner respect, not if you're a cantankerous old bugger it doesn't.
Having had a child with a blue badge I can confirm that some of the nastiest spiteful people live in the octogenarian age bracket.

Most people have the grace to accept the kindness and support of strangers as ranking in higher importance and value than rigidly making a point, to the cost of someone generously going out of their way to help them.
This woman was seriously out of order and would likely be scorned by others of her generation. I'd hope that she otherwise is a warm hearted soul but had perhaps had a tough time that she gets over.

"Has anyone ever sat in their lucky seat  "
Wow!!! That would be a step too far!!!! I’ve hosted a charity bingo night and got numerous bollockings from the old ladies for stuff not getting done right. |

My parents would never be spiteful or nasty in the circumstances you describe. They just say things out loud that would best remain as thoughts |

I used to be a bingo caller a good few years ago. Bingo players have their beliefs and you should've asked if she wanted help before picking up her books. You're lucky she didn't slap you with her handbag.
There used to be 2 older ladies who played where I worked who always had to be the first 2 people in the queue to buy the books. They believed that they had more chance of winning that way. Can't say that they did but they did win £50000 playing the national bingo game.

I moved into a new house in a new village and a neighbour dragged me to the local bingo. Got informed after having bought tickets etc. That as a new person, I couldn't win the jackpot or the snowman, as I hadn't invested enough time or money in it. Asked what to do if I cleared my ticket first and got daggers by a lot of regulars. Luckily, the neighbour who took me won, she bought her tickets and mine together, so it was close. I left with nothing and haven't been back since!  |
