You may think that just because an elderly person is old, you can take advantage of them but that is not necessarily the case.
See, older people have been around for quite some time, which means that they have seen some serious stuff. They have been around and have plenty of experience and know pretty much all of the secrets to life.
So if you think about messing with them, or if you think you can do something that will just go over their heads, think again. Because you do not want to mess with elderly people.
This 77-year-old grandma by the name of Winifred Peel proved just that when she suddenly found herself in a very sticky situation.

Just another day for Ms. Peel. Sure, until some men got up to no good and decided to try and mess with the wrong granny.
That’s when she ran into Piper Dumitru, Florin Geblescu, and Felix Stoica… Also known as the three devils (they are not actually known as that but, you know, we can refer to them as that).

As Peel was standing at the ATM getting her cash, she can feel the presence of someone behind her. She knew it wasn’t someone waiting in line to also withdraw money but actually a thief who just wanted to get their hands on hers.

Because of this, she was able to process what was happening quite fast. She knew that she was in danger and being attacked by criminals.

So what did she do to get out of it? Oh, just the most bad ass thing a 77-year-old grandma could possibly do. She grabbed one of the thieves by his collar and, using every ounce of strength she had, she slammed his head onto the ATM.

After slamming his head, she bought herself some time to call the cops.

This incident changed her life.

Peel visited the gym regularly in her 70s — that in addition to her ferocious bravery made it so that she had the strength to get out of the awful situation.

Next time you think elderly people are an easy target, think again.
