Well, the image clearly states that to get respect the elderly need to behave in certain ways, which implies starting from a point of no respect. I appologize for reacting to your words rather than your intentions.
If you don't want people making assumptions about you for gods sake, stay off the Internet. And perhaps out of the public. I get treated like a shoplifter all the time because I wear a duster in the summer, but it gets damn cold by the time I go home most days. The bowler hat doesn't help. It's a price I'm willing to pay.
Also, I assure you I was a smart-ass long before I grew old, as my mom will gladly verify. Growing older didn't change that, it just gave me more perspective, a broader framework to work with and bigger words.

So you're waking up peoples kids, you're setting off alarms, you're getting the dogs barking, you're displaying an amazing disrespect for people, you're likely to have beer bottles thrown at you.

I resisted having a phone for years and YEARS, until I got laid off after 8 years and my wife bought me one for my job hunt. Now, ten years later, I never go anywhere without it, though my usage is:
60%: games
20%: web & gps
10%: writing
05%: photos
04%: texting the wife
01%: phone
I still get in trouble with the family for not answering it much.

Sometimes I have no idea on why things get down-voted. There's probably a thesis in there somewhere.

Seriously, I'm deep underground fighting the dead right now. If it's important, call. If you're offended that I'm not going to interrupt my life to tell you your lunch looks good then I guess we aren't that compatible.
