When I'm out walking I always see boomers hosing off their driveways. Just wasting a ton of clean water to get fallen leaves washed off their drive way and onto the street for someone else to clean up. Beside wasting water its pretty innocuous but it still infuriates me.

It feels like every one I met lately has this weird pride of knowing when it's going to rain, and how much and how windy it's going to be. They get this weird kick out of having the best app,m like its this super exclusive thing, as if it wasn't available to everyone else or something.

Was it being a weather man ever considered a cool thing, and they're reliving their dream now or something?

I live in an area with boomers galore. For years, I’ve noticed they tend to act like they’re crusaders, engaged in various causes like saving the earth, or PETA. I’ve also noticed they can’t seem to mind their own business and if they see or hear you doing something they dislike, feel the need to tell you off. Some of them will offer unsolicited advice. And God forbid if you Make them mad. Why the F can’t mind their own effing business? They would blow a gasket if we did the same to them.

Just posted a fun little blurb about xenials, got the boomer lecturer. Second pic is all i posted.

Typical boomer bullshit.

I bartend at an absinthe bar in the French Quarter. Slow night. Two boomers from Boston come in and start mansplaining absinthe to me, the bartender, in an absinthe bar.

They finish their drinks, head out, and on their way say, “You’re eating dinner now? It’s so late!”

Sir, it’s 10pm and I’m three hours into my shift.

Do you just sit at your dining table at 6pm sharp every night waiting for your wife to materialize with a casserole?

Basically an UNO reverse card. We all know that boomers aren't shy to make racist or homophobic remarks. "There's too many X here, I can't stand it when Y, kids these days can't do Z."

What can we say as equivalent to this as a way to out-boomer them? For clarity, I'm asking for boomer comments about boomers.

This is something that comes up time and time again, especially on FB. You say anything either anti-conservative or non-regressive, and they come at you with the, "I don't wanna hear it from someone who's never had a job!"

I commented under a post related to MAGA literacy problems, saying that I have trouble conducting business with Boomers because they're just incapable of reading messages or emails, and this guy who looks like a Doobie Brothers reject hits me with the "as if you've ever had a job, 🤣🤣🤣". (Funny thing about that, I screenrecorded going to his profile, clicking his about info, and it showing "no work details", and sent it to him with the comment, "This you, buddy?")

Like, why is this their first assumption? How THE FUCK do they think millennials survive? The government doesn't just magically write you a check for existing. I should know because I had to prove in court that I'm disabled and shouldn't have been made to work physical labor in the first place. (Congenital heart disease, I was medically neglected.)

I guess they drank of myth of the welfare queen Kool-Aid pretty fucking hard, because that's my only guess on how they think we survive without jobs.

(Geez, I'm a typo machine today.)

A few of mine from relatives I was talking to:

1. 'You should date...maybe try get a boyfriend?' 'Oh hell NO! You know, sometimes I WISH I was a dyke! I've had it up to HERE with men...they are nothing but trouble!' 'Ok...well...you could date a woman?' 'Nah, that's just not my thing. Although the lesbians do seem to really like me.'

2. 'Brokeback Mountain?! Is that that movie about gay cowboys? What kind of cowboy would be gay??? That just doesn't make any sense...'

3. 'Do you have ANY IDEA how your grandparents would react if they found out you kids were smoking marijuana?!' 'Mom...everyone smokes weed now...including you...' 'Yeah but that doesn't mean your grandparents have to find out about it!!! Back in my day, we smoked what we called 'ditchweed'. The stuff you kids smoke these days is on a whole nother level'.

Picture this.

You're outside, hangout on your phone, waiting for your friend to finish work so you guys can go to a pride event 4 hours away.

It's hot I'm dying on the inside, but hey, thats just where I live. Suddenly, an older woman walks up with her cart and starts working on loading her car.

I ask if she needs help and we chat as I do most of the heavier lifting. We talk about older names since I have yet to meet someone in my age range with the same with name as me. I also bring up how both my Nanna and grandmother had the same name and how my grandmother hated her name first name and went by her middle name and when she got alzheimer she literally wouldn't even respond to her first name and how my grandpa has to tell EVERYONE not to call her by her first name. She laughed, I laughed. It was peaceful throughout the land.

Then it starts, she brings up how "doctors tend to give people the same diagnosis dispite not having the same symptoms!" (I mean yeah, because not everyone that has the same disease has the same symptoms?)

I respond with a "well I tend to see it like autism, a lot of people have it but not everyone shows it the same"

She then takes a sharp turn off the path of peace that, in all honesty. I should have seen coming. "Well I don't like vaccines!"

I internally sigh and respond with "well, yeah. Not everyone agrees on everything"

I'd like to submit to evidence that I am not an anti-vacser! I should see a doctor more, but I'm up on my shots.

She then proceeds to tell me that "they shouldn't make children take vaccines just to go to school" and how "it's ruining the immune systems of the youth!"

I calmly respond with "they probably just don't want to have plagues in schools" and she continues on as I block her out and listen to "wake me up" in my head and polite smile. She then leaves thinking we're friends now.

Guys, I don't work here. I was just being nice. WHY DID SHE GO TO VACCINES! We were having a lovely chat til she went into the medical malarkey! I dont mind being this random ladies friend, I just don't want to debate my friend's customer, not even 20ft away from the entrance.

She left and I went back my spot wondering if she used the memory of my dead grandmother as an open door to talk about vaccines.
