Nosy 60-year-old grandma demands her 27-year-old neighbor give her the $10 rocking chair that she thrifted, insists her grandkids need it: 'No, Carol. I'm really not interested in selling this. Please go home.'

The generations are colliding in suburban neighborhoods all throughout the country. Well actually, they aren't colliding nearly as much as they should be. My parents live in a typical suburb that you'd think would be populated mostly by families. Well unfortunately most young families with children can't afford to live in such a suburb, leaving it with an aging problem. I'm not saying my parents are old, but they're empty nesters in their 60s, and as far as I can tell, so are the majority of their neighbors. In a more ideal world, they would be some of the oldest folks in their neighborhood, but it's just not panning out that way. I'm not saying that older people need to leave their neighborhoods once their kids grow up, but it's strange to me that suburban neighborhoods are now actively hostile to younger families, when those are the people they are purported to be for. I guess that's what happens when you have a baby boom from 1946 to 1964.

When young couples do move to the burbs, they often have to deal with weird attitudes from their older neighbors. This couple is no exception, and their neighbor's demands are just plain odd.
