I cut grass for a 68 year old man every weekend for 2 summers. I was 20 at the time. I cried like a baby at his funeral. He asked his wife that I was one of the Paul bearers before he passed. Things he told me resonate in my life today at age 31. He was a solid dude and a true friend.
I remember working at HEB with a old head he was there for 7 years. My 2nd day he was training a whole group I was put in his cause I was going to be a stocker. Well a couple months went by and I was the last of the group. We would act a fool all the time, he told me he wished he had a friend like me when he was younger. Last year in October marked 2 years for me. He was there with a small cake he ordered from the bakery that said, "To many more years!" He was the coolest. On January 3rd this year he passed away. It still doesn't seem real I wanna believe he's gonna walk in the door and be like, "Yo, I bet you were crying all ugly huh." He had the best humor. He will be missed dearly. I Love You Freddy.
Legitimately, one of the actual nice things about being an adult is becoming friendly with people of all ages through work, extended social circles, etc. I'm 32 and have friends ranging from mid-twenties all the way into their fifties. One of my closest friends has been working at our company for longer than I have been alive. Contrast that to high school where people weren't even friends with people outside their own grade.
Agreed. At first, in a new environment surrounded by elders, you feel like some dumb little kid. But eventually, something in your brain switches, and you realize that you're just as much of an adult as they are. They have the exact same legal rights that you do, and should be treated equally. Just because someone is older doesn't make them superior.
Nah not in my high school lol if you play sports, you become friends with all grades, ethnicities social economic background, religion etc, At least that was my experience. Sports, extra curricular activities bring people together.
The fact that reading the comments gives me new stuff to laugh about. I've watched this video like 5 times already and just catching new shit each time. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've been at my job for a little over 2 years and I used to have a group of 8 coworkers who always went to lunch together, play basketball and baseball on lunch break, etc. Eventually everyone found different jobs, got laid off, or just quit. I'm now the last one remaining from the group. Shop is dead silent with a bunch of new guys. We had a hell of a ride and it's sad in the workforce when things like that have to come to an end
From 2018-19 ish my best friend was a 67 year old man. Old people are a trip. When they say they feel "young", they actually mean it bro. Its not just a saying. Its only when they look in the mirror or feel that body ache, that they realize they're getting old, but in their minds they're young. Don't treat them like old folks in terms of like conversation. Me and old dude chopped it up like I was talking to another 25yr old.
This!!! When I started work after college my best friend was a 57 year old man. Older than my parents by 9 years. It was weird at first but then I realized he was just like any of my friends in their early 20’s. Till this day we talk on the phone, we go mountain biking and go on hiking trips together. Dude is a straight up beast!! And has taught me a lot about life and relationships
Yea I hear u ,from 2015-2019 I had this older friend at work too ill never forget how much wisdom he had at 178years old ,lived a damm good life n was always very humble
One of the old heads I met at a job I worked back in 2018 is like my family. Like a father figure, he’s worked on every car I’ve had since then him being a mechanic and all. He always comes with me whenever I go look at a new car and everything. Taught me more than my own biological father has.
I swear it's like this lol One of my closest friends is this woman at work who is literally twice my age but we go out to eat and talk on the phone all the time 😆
@@allforone9591 yeah its funny when you think about how is different from typical friendships. But me and my boy, 25yrs older than me you'd swear we're brothers and were made to be homies.
This is so on point, also at the beginning, they might not seem too friendly, but that's because they are trying to get a feel for what kind of worker you are. They've had tons of younger people come in who happen to have horrible work habits or just some who might act as if they are the king of the world. But once they see you're about your work and are willing to chop it up with them, they automatically become your best friends.
@@brice-qn8or True met alot of older who have poor work habits, and be petty asf at younger workers. They are so miserable and don't realize they'll never get ahead cause they have bad attitudes.
That’s some real s***. If you listen, you can get the bag and move in silence based off his advice. He’s down seen it all at the job and he’s still there for a reason. 💯 #respect
@@Walkin11335 what does your comment have to do with what OP wrote? I feel you misunderstood him. He is saying there's a reason he wasn't fired long ago. He wasn't questioning why he wasn't a manager.🤣 Also, there is place and their is person. Not an insult
That was perfect!!! Make me remember my first job out of college selling cars at a Ford dealership. Nothing but old men in there. One time I asked the fleet manager for change for a $20. He laughed his old man cackle & told me $20 was change! Lesson: Veteran Big money grips don't understand small change. ..get ya weight up youngun. Keep the world laughing!
When I was 18 I worked at a funeral home mowing grass and setting up headstones. The closest coworker to my age was 40 and the rest of the guys were in there 50s and 60s. They always had a beer waiting for me after work and had me over for barbecues. 20-40 year age difference, but some of my closest friends at the time.
The Accuracy is through the roof, I became Friends with one of the OldHeads at my Job😂 Funniest man with the funniest Laugh I’ve ever heard. 60 years old but young at Spirit, we talk as if we’re both 25☠️☠️
They also always hit you with that “I never wanted to move up” or “they offered me a managers position a bunch of times I didn’t want to deal with all the stress” lmbo 😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂 it’s a pride thing.
My dad worked for AT&T. About 20 years in they wanted to promote him to foreman. He turned it down. 2 years later they fired all "middle managers" which were all the foremen. My dad worked there for 34 years and got a very nice retirement package. Gotta watch out for "promotions."
Nah man, take those promotions and handle your finance right. If they fire you, get a job somewhere else. Today's job market is all about swapping jobs, so any pay increase you can get is good for you since you can use it to leverage more pay from your next employer.
i aint even old but been offered to move up 3 times and refused all of them because i didn't like the store manager and didn't want to deal with them lol i even told my manager that was why i kept refusing it.
Dude, you are too dang good at this 🤣 not only that, but you bring positivity and laughter in a lot of peoples day. The world needs that these days. Thank you for what you do, keep it up!
I adore them. They’re the ones on the job usually (USUALLY) staying out of the work drama, and they always instill so much wisdom and calm. I’ve had stressful shifts and sat down with an old head and they have truly given me different perspectives. Stay wise. We need y’all!
This is not only a great video!!! But the fact that so many people can relate FEELS as though we’re all in a room filled with FAMILY and FRIENDS… exactly what the world needs!!!
One of my best friends was an 80 year old man I worked with about 6 years ago. He had 50 years in the industry we were in. Hardest working dude we had by a longshot. Full of crazy stories. I hope he's still alive.

(we worked in the same department area). i kept telling him. “von your heart hurts and you can’t breath maybe you should go to the hospital since this happened like a month ago.” “nah grasshopper.” oh he called me grasshopper btw. he would always say i’m “going places” and that i have to “get back to penn state to get out of here.” he said his great cousin is in the NFL. i always asked for a picture but he never brought one. he walked me across the street to a thrift store and said he made thousands refinishing pieces of furniture and selling them online. probably true. he had suspicions his wife was buying things overseas to divorce him. she was a head nurse at a hospital and he said she lays his cloths out for “some reason.” that’s when i started to assume he had dementia or early onset dementia. usually it’s delirium when it first starts. he was 65 and working for fun. he had a nice retirement and pension. he “furnished a piano for saddam hussein” and was “sad when it got exploded when the americans bombed his house.” you can’t make this shit up he got fired after showing up late day after day thinking the place needed him. i took over the sanding and finishing department at 18 by myself lol. i had never done anything like that before in my life and i was running the department. we have million plus dollar orders for the military and shit and it was just me back there. i’m quality control essentially. all me bb. my first full time job was a fun one no doubt. i made 20,000 dollars and now i’m back at penn state.
As a young white boy at his first job I’ll never forget the friendship I had with the old heads they would bring me food when I was struggling and always make me laugh and teach me to stand up for myself!
This is so uncannily accurate; I literally saw the faces of EVERY "Old Head" that I've ever worked with in this depiction! Good work, Bro! You are a true observer of human behavior within the Black experience.
The elders have so much wisdom OMG I'm remembering working in my nursing career an older white Lady Mrs Tomlinson was a miracle and use to tell me everything And always Right 😆 love 💕 it's
Man this the best experience ever im 21 years old i work at a aluminium factory with 2 other oldheads they are cool people one is around 50 years old one is 30 we have the best conversations ever and we have fun at job its cool man they gave me experience, i work there since 17year old and wheb we have a lunch break around 15 minutes we share experiences from old times mostly the older guy talk with the other 30 year old dude that works there and i listen, some wise shit they talking ia cool to listen to them best job ever i got
Great story bro, but I gotta question if you don’t mind. From what I’ve heard from teachers to friends and everything, factory workers are at a constant risk for disease (specific in the lung), and I was just curious, how do you guys usually try and lessen that risk? Or do y’all just say fuck it and take it as it is😂?
I sold appliances at Sears with a guy who started in the early 70s. Back then it was considered a great job; he was one of the last still grandfathered in under a pension. So many crazy stories from that guy. He made the company millions in the time he worked there; was always a trip when an upstart ASM out of training would try to get him to change how he did things. Sure enough, he outlasted them all to his retirement.
This is too factual. I had this overly smooth dude I used to work with in Bklyn. The pickup lines this dude would come up with were top tier I swear and nigga would do them shits mid stride 😂 Hope my guy Rodney doing good 💯
This is definitely an old white dude I used to work with. David. Took no shit, worked harder than everyone else. Did all the heavy warehouse work in the store. I miss that old head. I left because I found a higher paying job as a bartender at an arcade, but I will always know David will know a bit more than I do and help me out. Gonna get a drink with him
I can relate to the old head. Been on my job for 23 years myself. I try to be helpful, and put the new ones up on the Bull crap at the job right off top.
I always treated the laid back hardworking ogs like my aunt or uncle .. always had a blast with them no matter what was going on at work we always were joking and making the best of it .. almost like I was working with a more experienced more emotionally competent version of myself .. Shout out to all the elders , Thank you for holdin us down and being a blessing to the community even if you arent cherished for it
There's a guy I work with in the machine shop, hell of a dude! He's not only taught me about the shop, but also mistakes to avoid in business, and even some good investment strategies.
At my job i started off working with a group of older ladies before I moved the machines but during that time I got to know them all I got to be part of their little group ,as my skill progressed they taught me the ropes all the different techniques they had to fix any errors I was a grasshopper they were the masters as they showed me the ways of discipline with technique I was a wild child from the streets and they broke me down and shaped me back up into a gentleman and prepped me for the next phase of the trade where skilled veterans awaited with new challenges and new lessons to be learned I embarked on those challenges with no fear nor intimidation just a spongelike frame and it’s all because of them ...seeing that i am now manning my own machine in the chaos right in the center of madness taking complete control of the giant I can only thank those sweet old ladies for their knowledge and patience my humble beginnings my child like errors I thank them for being so kind to me for looking out for my well-being for being concerned about my carless struggles just to get to the damn job in frigid temperatures I thank them highly they’re the coolest and sweetest co workers I ever had 😭
Stg been at my job going on a year in may & it’s only 8 of us in there I’m 23 & everybody in there 35 & up but I vibe w them almost better than niggas I grew up w.. Job don’t even be feeling like work jus be in there talking shit & laughing 😂💯
One of the best work experiences I've had was working with all older people. There was zero drama, none. We used to laugh as group. I have worked with much younger people too and there was no drama and they were insightful too.
When I worked my first job at Lowe’s I was paired with a bunch of older dudes and another young guy (few years older) and they were all funny and some gave me shit. But it made the job fun and I learned quite a bit from them. One was named Tom who was a retired master electrician but last I heard he passed away a year ago or 2. Hope all those guys are doing good
Omg. The laugh that transitioned to the cough. On point. I got a old head that call pops that do the same thing. Most importantly he always schooling me on what it is and what it ain’t. Gotta love the old heads
I was a security officer and I worked with a ww2 vet for 3 years he was the coolest we knew something wasn’t right he always showed up 30 mins early 30 mins in to shift supervisor called his daughter she said she found him he past in his sleep I was hurt

Respect Those Old Heads , That’s Gon Be Us Sooner Than We Think.
I always click with them at work and at church. 😂
I love it!
As a young white boy at his first job I’ll never forget the friendship I had with the old heads they would bring me food when I was struggling and always make me laugh and teach me to stand up for myself!
"Add me on the book ... Thurgood Hairston" 🤣
I swear my grandma say "learn" instead of "teach" 😂. "..... gotta learn em" lol
That wall slap😂🤣😂! Old heads all day...I should know because I do it all the time!
This is so uncannily accurate; I literally saw the faces of EVERY "Old Head" that I've ever worked with in this depiction! Good work, Bro! You are a true observer of human behavior within the Black experience.
Everyman! 💪🙏❤️🌈
The elders have so much wisdom OMG I'm remembering working in my nursing career an older white Lady Mrs Tomlinson was a miracle and use to tell me everything And always Right 😆 love 💕 it's
Man this the best experience ever im 21 years old i work at a aluminium factory with 2 other oldheads they are cool people one is around 50 years old one is 30 we have the best conversations ever and we have fun at job its cool man they gave me experience, i work there since 17year old and wheb we have a lunch break around 15 minutes we share experiences from old times mostly the older guy talk with the other 30 year old dude that works there and i listen, some wise shit they talking ia cool to listen to them best job ever i got
Great story bro, but I gotta question if you don’t mind. From what I’ve heard from teachers to friends and everything, factory workers are at a constant risk for disease (specific in the lung), and I was just curious, how do you guys usually try and lessen that risk? Or do y’all just say fuck it and take it as it is😂?
how you thinkin 30 is an oldhead?? they literally only 9 years old than u lmao
@@sogno_89 yeah and there's a 20 year difference in the 30 and 50 year old. sounds more like an older brother and dad
@@eliastapia8418 I work in a factory and worry about the health effects : /
"YOU A FOOL...YOU A FOOL!"...😂😂😂
This filled me with so much joy and nostalgia and I’ve never even worked with an old head
Old folks and young folks are great. I love talking to people. Have a sweet day
Big facts, my best friend was my 65 year old manager at my retail job when I was 20 and working through college.
Legit 😂 after working retail and food service getting to know old heads I will never be the same. That shit humbles you 🙏
I sold appliances at Sears with a guy who started in the early 70s. Back then it was considered a great job; he was one of the last still grandfathered in under a pension. So many crazy stories from that guy. He made the company millions in the time he worked there; was always a trip when an upstart ASM out of training would try to get him to change how he did things. Sure enough, he outlasted them all to his retirement.
👉Oldheads no doubt made me a better person for LIFE!❤️ God bless you Oldheads, thank you for sharing your wisdom!!! 🙏
This is too factual. I had this overly smooth dude I used to work with in Bklyn. The pickup lines this dude would come up with were top tier I swear and nigga would do them shits mid stride 😂 Hope my guy Rodney doing good 💯
Shit ain’t nothing like coming in to that old man or lady excited to see ya. Makes the day fly by and y’all never argue about a thing
This is definitely an old white dude I used to work with. David. Took no shit, worked harder than everyone else. Did all the heavy warehouse work in the store. I miss that old head. I left because I found a higher paying job as a bartender at an arcade, but I will always know David will know a bit more than I do and help me out. Gonna get a drink with him
Already kno it’s gonna be on point when he said “young blood let me learn you something”
I can relate to the old head. Been on my job for 23 years myself. I try to be helpful, and put the new ones up on the Bull crap at the job right off top.
I hope they know it all asses listen.
I always treated the laid back hardworking ogs like my aunt or uncle .. always had a blast with them no matter what was going on at work we always were joking and making the best of it .. almost like I was working with a more experienced more emotionally competent version of myself .. Shout out to all the elders , Thank you for holdin us down and being a blessing to the community even if you arent cherished for it
There's a guy I work with in the machine shop, hell of a dude! He's not only taught me about the shop, but also mistakes to avoid in business, and even some good investment strategies.
I’m in my late 20s and I always get along with the old heads better than people my age. They always got some stories and be wild.
At my job i started off working with a group of older ladies before I moved the machines but during that time I got to know them all I got to be part of their little group ,as my skill progressed they taught me the ropes all the different techniques they had to fix any errors I was a grasshopper they were the masters as they showed me the ways of discipline with technique I was a wild child from the streets and they broke me down and shaped me back up into a gentleman and prepped me for the next phase of the trade where skilled veterans awaited with new challenges and new lessons to be learned I embarked on those challenges with no fear nor intimidation just a spongelike frame and it’s all because of them ...seeing that i am now manning my own machine in the chaos right in the center of madness taking complete control of the giant I can only thank those sweet old ladies for their knowledge and patience my humble beginnings my child like errors I thank them for being so kind to me for looking out for my well-being for being concerned about my carless struggles just to get to the damn job in frigid temperatures I thank them highly they’re the coolest and sweetest co workers I ever had 😭
This guy meta-morphs into these characters!! ahahaha😂😂😂😂😂! I be seeing all types of people in his characters! He is spot on and very Talented!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Stg been at my job going on a year in may & it’s only 8 of us in there I’m 23 & everybody in there 35 & up but I vibe w them almost better than niggas I grew up w.. Job don’t even be feeling like work jus be in there talking shit & laughing 😂💯
These are the best relationships honestly. They help you with the job and with life advice.
1:51 that cough 😂😂😂
That Facebook pic with the thumbs up is so true. My daddy was a die hard Cowboys fan and took all his pictures like that. Lol 🤣🤣 the memories!!!
I loved this so much. I’m literally in Barbados chillin with old locals & they’re adorable 😂
He said let me Learn you something ! I'm Dead lmao 🤣😂
One of the best work experiences I've had was working with all older people. There was zero drama, none. We used to laugh as group. I have worked with much younger people too and there was no drama and they were insightful too.
"lord have mercy" trailing off at end L O L
When I worked my first job at Lowe’s
I was paired with a bunch of older dudes and another young guy (few years older) and they were all funny and some gave me shit. But it made the job fun and I learned quite a bit from them.
One was named Tom who was a retired master electrician but last I heard he passed away a year ago or 2. Hope all those guys are doing good
Omg. The laugh that transitioned to the cough. On point. I got a old head that call pops that do the same thing. Most importantly he always schooling me on what it is and what it ain’t. Gotta love the old heads
This is exactly how it happens lmao. 😭
Just a man on a mission 🤣 luv ya Kay!!!!!!
I was a security officer and I worked with a ww2 vet for 3 years he was the coolest we knew something wasn’t right he always showed up 30 mins early 30 mins in to shift supervisor called his daughter she said she found him he past in his sleep I was hurt
Old security guards are the best.
Always gotta throw in that “Lord have mercy”
😭i done stopped in the middle of the aisle to watch this
Thrugood hairston, just a man on a mission 🤣🤣🤣
This man must have been documenting me at work that was exactly the old heads at my old job… Down to the cough
Bruh done had every Walmart worker experience ever 🤣🤣🤣
Im the youngest at my job by atleast 10 years and this is so true lol it’s nice to get insight and joke with them like anyone else 😂
Speaking the truth right here
