Honestly this was my biggest adjustment to ER at 40. SO MANY OLD PEOPLE!
Apparently they avoid the weekends when the "young kids" are out, and come out during the week. Yes, God Bless them, we're all going to be that age one day, and my own parents are among them -- but still -- it takes some adjustment. When you ER, your real peers are at w*rk, so these elderly become your new peers.
Get used to slow driving, slow parking, slow moving down the golf course, slow moving up the grocery store aisles, and long talks with retail clerks while you wait and wait behind them.
Just another thing to consider when thinking ER.
