We might have finally found one thing that all generations have in common, and that is complaining. From Boomers moaning about the younger kids and their iPads to Gen X grumbling they’re the forgotten generation to Millennials making a fuss about how they’re not lazy to Gen Z whining about how hard it is to live in the modern world, they all have something they seem to be dissatisfied with. 

Recently, these generations have gathered together on Elon Musk’s Twitter to share the biggest “Boomer Complaints” they can all agree on. We invite you to scroll down and see for yourself the rare occasion when these different age groups are united by their passion for venting online.

While you’re at it, don’t forget to check out a conversation with clinical psychologist and founder of Zen Mind Psychology, Alicia Viforj, who kindly agreed to tell us more about why we complain and how it affects us.

    Very much so. When you have interactions with any type of sale these days, including self-service, somebody wants a tip. We're all trying to get by and with the economy no one can afford to 25-30% tips expected today. If restaurant/bar owners can't afford to pay a fair wage then maybe they shouldn't be in business.

    AND paying for a tv streamer only to have to get ads too. It's ridiculous, I can see having ads on free TV but paying to watch ads annoys the s^^t out of me, and the additional charge over and above the subscription price. Rich people are just greedy.

    I once worked for a corporation that was going to fix that with A.I. 3 years later the A.I. finally got better than the humans. The AI only sent you to 3 different departments that couldn't help you. You only had to call back 2 times, but the time on hold went up to an hour.

    Newspapers have required a subscription since newspapers have been around. But yes more and more things are becoming restricted to subscriptions is absurd.
