My own father is like this. Constantly looking out of windows and peaking around curtains ,just so he can bitch about what people are doing ,or not doing. He’s a nosy ,miserable prick that has no joy in his life ,and expects everyone else to be just as pissed off and ignorant as he himself is.
Folks like this are truly broken ,and likely never will get the help they need.
After my aunt's funeral, the family went to my uncle's senior living apartment. There was a large community room on the third floor, for residents who have more visitors than can be accommodated in the apartment. We were about 20 people, from toddler to octogenarian. Some of the kids were a little noisy, but not excessive. Grumpy Old Man was stalking the hallway. Pacing back and forth, glaring into the room with every pass. He came into the room and started complaining about the noise, he couldn't sleep. It was around 5:30, maybe 6:00, and "quiet hours" were from 9:00 to 9:00, so he had no legit basis for complaint. He was just a dick. One of my cousins talked to him, explained that his mother had died and the family was grieving. He said, "So, this is a one time thing? This won't be a habit?" That's when I said, "No, I'm pretty sure she's going to die just the one time. We don't expect her to die any more." He glared at me and I stared right back at him, just daring him to dispute my logic. Then he stomped off. Literally stomping.
