Boomers love *sniiiifff* to sniff a runny nose constantly *sniiiifff* instead of blowing *sniiiiiiiiffffff* their goddamn nose *sniiiiiiiiiiiiiifffffffffffff* Boomers love *mmmmhhhhhhm* to clear their throats constantly *mmmhhhhmmmm* when they have a sore throat *mmmmmhhhhhmmm* instead of just taking *mmmmmhhhhhhhmmmm* a cough drop or Halls *mmmmmmmhhhhhhhhhhmmmmm* Boomers carry tissues and menthol drops with them wherever they go as everyday carry... but they ~*never*~ use them.

A million pages ago someone mentioned Boomers like to keep working instead of retiring as soon as they can which also lets young people into the work force and it’s true as Hell. I know that some argue that older workers have a lot of experience to draw on, but in my own experience with them, their experience is super outdated and is often super inefficient, so it’s no use to anyone.

Super outdated, super inefficient, and they are super stubborn and refuse to change how they do anything. God forbid there's a major software update or the company changes to a different software vendor, then they'll just sit around not getting anything done and blame the software update as though that were in anyway an acceptable way of dealing with it.

Lil Peeler posted:the boomer generation created and promoted The grapes of wrath and somehow don't understand what the book was about. ??? not a single boomer had been born yet when that book was written. of course boomers don't like it because it promotes socialism and they never had to live through the Depression, but its not remotely a boomer book, its very much of the so called "greatest" generation (but before they were called that) and the two generations before them Earwicker fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Jun 2, 2019 |

Lil Peeler posted:the boomer generation created and promoted The grapes of wrath and somehow don't understand what the book was about. Their grandparents created that book. Boomers like to pretend they're well read because when they were kids there was only one tv in the house and their dad had control of it when he got home from the factory so they read a lot of magazines and pulp novels. They haven't actually read anything but facebook in at least 10 years. Boomers love to panic over dumb poo poo they read on facebook that can be debunked by thinking about it for 5 seconds, no matter what political party they belong to. Boomers love to make life hell for minimum wage employees and then when you call them out for being assholes they tell you it was the other person's fault, because they wouldn't be working as a waitress at 30 if they weren't a dumbass. Boomers seethe with rage when you try to explain that the world isn't as it was in the 80s. No, no one wants your huge rear end entertainment system designed to hold 100s of DVDs, they have netflix now. No, teenagers don't go to the mall anymore, that's why its dead on the weekends and the only shops left cater to old people. No, I don't need to print out 50 copies of my resume, everything's done online now. Just because people don't want to be treated like poo poo for $7 an hour, doesn't mean they don't want to work. Boomers swear they're not racist but can't help commenting about how many Indians/Chinese/etc are around, especially when they're in earshot. However, they'll wait until they're safely back in the car to make comments about black people, since they think all black people are Hulks.

Boomers like being in a situation of exceptional financial comfort and security and yet continuing to work despite clear warning signs their SO is suffering from depression. Boomers love to continue to go to work every day without having enough awareness to realize that they get to go out and talk to people every day and their SO doesn't.

"I love my granddaughter Kayla SOOOOO much, she's the most important thing in my life by far. Also, the climate has ALWAYS been changing! So what if there's no winter, or oceans! Did I mention how much I love my family and my granddaughter? They're so important! Not important enough for me to engage in the slightest bit of critical thought or introspection, though! It was cold outside yesterday anyway! Oh I love you guys so much. You're so important to me. What's that, stop voting for the people destroying your future? Well, honey, let's not get too worked up now... did you know the climate has always been changing?" Join me in praying, every day, for the Boomer Flu of 2019-2020. This might be our last chance. Come on biology. Come on evolution.

Boomers love garbage airport fiction like Patterson and Lee Childs. They’re the only ones propping up those authors that crank out 3 books a year with their assistants doing 80% of the work.

I kinda get a little angry when I see boomers suddenly accepting and gushing about CBD. Like even churches are telling their congregation it's ok. But No. Decades of boomers voting to keep weed illegal, funding propaganda like DARE, all the while allowing tobacco and booze to flourish. Granted tobacco is starting to get a bad rap but alcohol seems to be getting cheaper and offered up as a lifestyle when it is literally just poison. Gaunab posted:Thinking that college is like animal house When PCU came out on video, one of my regular boomer customers (drunkenly I might add) demanded a refund because "that's nothing like a real college!". I gave him a refund, a whole $3, but told him if we called me drunk and yelling again I'd ban him from the store. The reason I gave him the refund is so that he's come in and have to listen to me recount the incident in front of other customers. He could not get out of there fast enough.

I'm trying remember the name of this book where some liberal stereotype professor has some private high tech army take over New York and some stereotypical Good Old Boy veteran goes and stops him. Thinking about it, a lot of that book sounds like boomer bait. And yeah, I read it in an airport.

Every Boomer I know who lives in a nice neighborhood has an exit strategy to leave as soon as their kids graduate high school. They have literally no feeling of obligation that extends to the neighborhood or town they’ve lived in for twenty years and an to destroy the tax revenue the microsecond they can’t suck out more than they’ve put in

Hell, Ikea's cafeteria straight up says" You like cheap meatballs? Then clean up after yourself. At restaurants, it just seems faster to stack your empty plates and stuff neatly at the end of the table so the server/busboy can quickly remove them instead of having to ask everyone if they are finished or not.
