“OK, Millennial”: 15 “Old People” Things That Millennials Agree With
No two generations have EVER had as much beef with each other as Boomers and Millennials . . . if you believe the internet.
Millennials can’t stop FUMING over Boomers: Leaving voicemails . . . ranting about how “the customer is always right” . . . refusing to learn technology . . . and eating canned vegetables. (???) But there IS plenty of common ground.
There’s a new thread online where Millennials are talking about the “old person hills they’ll die on” . . . and here are some highlights:
1. New car headlights are too bright.
2. Social media was better when it only showed you content from friends and followed pages . . . and it was easier to pick up where your last scroll left off.
3. People shouldn’t listen to music or have videos and calls played on their phones in public without headphones.
4. You shouldn’t have to download an app for EVERYTHING.
5. Not everything needs to be recorded, photographed, and posted online.
6. People need to stop speeding through neighborhoods.
7. Grocery stores are too much work . . . from scrolling through an app to “clip” all the sales, to scanning and bagging all of your own purchases. (And buying bags if you didn’t bring your own.)
8. Restaurants should offer an actual menu . . . not a QR code . . . especially when it’s hard to read.
9. Tips should be for sit-down meals in restaurants only.
10. There should be zero work-related TEXTING . . . especially during non-work hours. All work communication should be through a work email account.
11. Touchscreen keyboards aren’t as good as an actual physical keyboard.
12. If I say something to you, I’d like an acknowledgement that you heard me.
13. I am not instantly available at any waking moment just because it is technically possible for me to see your message right away.
14. Writing notes by hand on paper is better than typing notes.
15. The way that Gen Z makes hearts with their hands is deeply unsettling.
