30 “Boomer Complaints” From Young People Proving That The Old Generation Has A Point

100% AGREE!!! I see no reason you need my information except to pay for my order.

I just start yelling human or manager over and over again until the machine breaks. I don't feel bad about being a Karen to a machine.

Commercials are too loud. 100%. I'm dozing off to something and then BOOM! Some stupid shite I'm not interested in basts my ear drums. You know I need to sleep so I can work and make money so I can buy the thing you're selling right?

Agreed. Not everything is available for streaming.

I hate them too. Everyone immediately gets their phone out, has to use data or find a wifi network. There is less conversation over a phone menu than a real one. If you order separately there is the convenience of separate payment, but then your meals all come out separately and one person has finished eating before the other starts. The atmosphere is less pleasant because people don't put their phones away after ordering so you are surrounded by zombies on phones. We stopped frequenting our local restaurant because they laid of 80% of their staff and installed QR codes. Now its like eating at a funeral. Even McDonalds is more social and pleasant.

No one wants to hear you even if you aren't using speakerphone. Make your calls at home!

It's also very American. The rest of the world has service included in the price. In some countries tipping is even considered rude.

As long as people are willing to pay this is only going to get worse.

That's not a boomer thing. That's common sense.

I'd like to be able to have a conversation in a club too. I don't go to clubs.

Click to close the ad = freeze the BP article

Don't look at your phones while driving. It's dangerous. Also, I'm going to need you to look at your car's TV screen to change your climate settings through three submenus while driving.

I want google search results to be relevant to what I asked for.

Speakers don't belong on hiking trails! You're supposed to be in tune with nature.

They do in my city specifically for 9-11 reasons.

It should be one click and done. Also why the hell do so many websites make the sign/log out link so hard to find?

If there's a Tesla on your lawn, then it does indeed have turning issues.

My phone has a headphone jack. I don't use Apple products though

Agree. In the Netherlands it is now banned for kids to use their phone at school. Kids still take a phone to school but they must keep them turned off and in their locker.

DVDs are still available, at least for anything I’ve wanted to buy.

Yeah. My new oven wants my email address to. Presumably so it can email me to tell me when to clean and service it. Nope. Nopity Nope Nope.

I found out my electric bill wasn't being billed properly, but it was still being paid for. I called SEVERAL times and everyone kept sending me to someone else. Start service? No, it already exists. New account? No, I already have one. It's a technical issue! It's a customer service issue! I talked to so many people and they all said it was the fault of someone I'd already talked to. So I stopped. I'm not sure who is paying that bill, but my power hasn't been shut off yet.

Lidl UK have an app so your receipt can go there instead of email clogging or wasting paper

It's not just paper straws, it's that corporate earth tried to convince the masses that us using plastic straws is single-handedly destroying the planet...all this being said while journeying via their private jet.

Headlight alignment should be tested every time they get their smog test. There are rules about how far ahead the lights can shine in regular, and high beam modes.

Which is one reason they're all on their phones or whining to get one.

I have to get a magnifying glass to read info on bottles of meds! My eyes aren't that bad

I hate it that you have to click before knowing if there is a paywall.

In my country we have 2 kinds of mopeds. Speed limited at 25kph and 45kph. For both you need a license to drive. For the 25kph, until last year, helmets were not compulsory. Now we have e-bikes, limited to 25kph, no helmets, no license. And they get "tuned " so they can get as fast as 50kph. Driven by 9 year old kids. And it's all legal. Accident rates have skyrocketed for minors and pensioners

This one is just dumb

Try buying any other brand of phone than an iPhone. They all have several models that meet these requirements

Youngest got in trouble with her teacher in like 4th or 5th grade for writing a paper in cursive. The problem? They were reading each other's papers to critique and no one could read hers. Teacher gave her a 0. I raised Holy he!! with the school about it. VP agreed & regraded it. B+. But teacher refused to let her use cursive in class. Said it made some students feel "less than" & made youngest look like as though she thought she was better than others. I called BS.

Also tired of being prompted to do facial recognition or fingerprint ID. So when I die my kids won't be able to access any of my devices/accounts? Yeah. Great idea.

No DLCs I don´t necessarily agree. If they add interesting new stuff like new story elements and characters that give you a reason to play the game again for multiple tens of hours it´s not bad. But if that DLCs consists of mostly cosmetic items...

"There's an app that can answer your question, sir. Just download it after you've signed up at our website."

To help the company owner keep more money from all those earnings. How else is he supposed to afford a third Ferrari? It's called corporate greed.

Good legislation is required. "all new smartphones, tablets, cameras and other electronic gadgets marketed in the EU will have to come with a USB-C charging port by fall 2024."

Haha. This. My wife reminded me recently that I've turned into my father. She leaves lights on all the time, I'm always reminding her to turn them off. I guess Progressive really can't stop you from becoming your parents.

Libraries are all over the place. Encyclopedias were out of date on quite a few things within a year.

As do adults.

And 9:00am is too early to get up.

One reason I don't have a streaming service. The streaming service may offer thousands of shows I don't want, but everything I have in my house is something I like.

or deactivate the stupid thing and connect an actual mouse. I HATE these, Honestly remove them from laptops all together

There are corded headphones. Plenty of them. We have headphones that that can be used either cordless or with cord.

I don't think I have listened to anything made after about 2005 by choice ever.

And don't ask for my mobile phone number so you can text me. I don't give it out.

Mine is $1.79

You're too young to remember when they all used to start that way.

Mine came with a CD player AND a cassette player. But it is over 20 years old lol

12 pm generally refers to noon, while 12 am generally refers to midnight. Generally.

Shorter videos and reels are destroying the attention span of the entire population. We are destroying our childrens' future by letting their minds be wrecked in this way.

"Turn that racket down" Everyone's father when they were a teenager..

Someone clearly doesn't remember the years of having a cupboard full of batteries and having to change them all the freaking time.

Don’t stroll into the crosswalk after the crossing light has gone red. Wait your turn like everybody else.

We have to get as much information as possible to fix your problem. We document every step of the issue to cover our $%& and to keep our place in a possibly very complex issue that could go way beyond your statement "hey my internet is down" just stfu and answer the questions.

what stops you from doing that?

A possessive apostrophe wouldn't go astray either.

When I read "self checkout", I initially thought they meant introspection. Actually we need a bit more of that.

No thanks - we'll stick with 240v.

Everywhere I've stayed has had them.

Every six months? Don't you mean every six hours?

And there are a lot less in the bag as well for the same price.

AND a tip. Whole wings taste so much better than pieces. That coach when you tear the flat away from the drumette is magic and the steam rising up...yum.

I have a terrible stutter, especially with strangers. My coworkers don't even call me unless it's urgent. Text me or send an email please.

why does it have wifi? it should have bluetooth.
