It's a stereotype, but it's one that isn't untrue.

I've noticed this behaviour in older people a lot more than with my peers.

But to be fair, they grew up with parents from a generation where divorce was illegal, rape was excused an disabled people used as guinea pigs. They did not come from a great situation

Last week I bought my wife flowers, just as a nice thing for when she got off work on a Tuesday. Sat down on the bus and the lady across from me leans over and says: You shouldn't've bothered.
Three....THREE other ladies nodded and mmhmmm'd.

It really pissed me off that the assumption was that I'd fucked up and made her mad somehow and was trying to smooth it over with flowers.
