I’m not sure that I see people thinking I’m worthless so much.
I do see a whole lot of uncertainty on peoples faces at first glance.
That probably has to do with a few things.
I’m obviously a Geezer, I have a full and almost completely white beard and I try to carry myself upright with my shoulders squared a bit. I’m usually peering over the top of my glasses because I can’t fucking see, I look people in the eyes looking for threats and I almost always look pissed off.
That is because I live in constant pain and after walking even a little bit anymore, it gets pretty damn intense.
They get confused because most people think of old people as being harmless and they pose no threat. They also assume most Geezers are fairly good natured.
They take one look at me scowling at them as I walk up to them and they don’t know what to expect.
I can either smile at them with my eyes or I can keep staring into theirs letting them know that I ain’t about to take any shit.
So far it seems to keep the dumb bastards out of kicking distance.
Works for me.
