Snow and a cranky old man never a good combo

Could have smelled the age before reading anything else.
Been telling this for ages, it's always the same angry men between their late 60s ～ early 80s without fail, the sourness, arrogance and pleasure for a good conflict with strangers knows no bounds, there is gotta be some psychological explanation for this as the Japanese are universally known by how they try to avoid any kind of conflict at all costs....until they reach this age.

It is because they have been perfect citizens, worked hard, followed the rules then hit retirement and realize they have nothing to show for it and have mostly wasted their lives making them bitter and cranky.
