Well, she wasn't all that old but she was extremely annoying.
I was at a local discount store that offered interesting things at reasonable prices. There were about five registers working and the line was short. No one had to wait more than a minute or two to get to the check-out.
I stood on line and waited my turn. As soon as I got to the register a woman pushed her way ahead of me and threw her stuff on the counter. An employee of the store told her that she had to wait her turn in line. The back of the line was all of 20 feet away. I'll try to reproduce what she said in her wonderful way of speaking.
"Young Maaan! I'm 70 yeahs-old. If I haaave to go back to the end uhh thuh line, I'll be anodduh yeah oldeh by the time I get dere!"
She did have to go back to the end of the line but there was a little laughter. It's so rare that we get to hear that Classic Brooklyn diction.

Good for the employees who didn't let her cut!
