    Whenever my Grandfather, a WWII combat veteran, saw something he didn’t approve of: “The things you see when they don’t let you carry a gun any more…”.

    My other Grandfather didn’t really have any funny phrases, but my Nana when she didn’t approve of something would just use the “Well, that’s a how modern people do things I suppose”. It was really the only complaint she’d make, the only time I ever saw her lose her temper with someone was the day I got into a traffic accident and she had to be physically restrained from going after the driver for hurting her grandchild hahaha (I was the passenger).
