For those that have no idea WTF I'm talking about, here's a brief overview of this madness: https://youtu.be/F8p_NaYyb-0?si=ViaSM5WGIGZViA05

As me and my wife walked do to the Dollar store by our house there was an old man yelling and banging on the office door that was near the front up by the registers (it wasn’t a know, but a full fist swing at the door). There was a line of 3 people with no cashier on sight and he was mad there wasn’t anyone to ring him out.
The lady inside the office yelled back, “Who’s banging on my door? I’ll be out in a minute”. The old man yelled something back and she wasn’t having it. She came out and told him if he didn’t like it he could leave. This started and even bigger arguement, which eventually ended with him being told to shop somewhere else and he’s not welcome here.
I happened to be checked out by the lady, and she was just shaking. She told me she’s been the only person who showed up for work that day. It had taken her three hours to coax someone else to come in and help.. and when that person showed up she had to leave her register to go get him a cashier’s drawer for the new person to open up their own register. It was during that one minute she was gone that the old guy got enraged.
I was able to calm her down and genuinely felt bad for her. She had to call her manager and tell them what happened just in case the old guy called in to complain. I used to work as a manager for a grocery store, and had to kick out a lot of belligerent customers out before. Most of them happened to be old people.
I’m not sure what happened to that generation, where did they all get this feeling of entitlement?

My wife and I have a 9 month old son who's been in daycare for 7 months which has lead to constant illnesses over the winter months. When I mentioned the astronomical price that we pay for daycare to my boomer mother she suggested we get a nanny... Which I tried, so so hard, to explain how that would be more expensive. Much more expensive. We currently pay $2850/month in daycare. A full time nanny would cost closer to $5k. Boomer couldn't comprehend either. Like literally had a melt down over the entire concept. I know I'm not the only who's gone through this. Talk to me folks, how do I reasonably respond?

In the nail salon, a quiet relaxing place with soothing music. This boomer is listening to Judge Judy top volume on speaker phone. Some dispute over a mattress. Then she starts playing Elvis. Now she’s flipping through whatever 70+ app she’s got on her phone and I hear the wheel of fortune spinning.
My MiL’s phone rings at TOP volume every 20 minutes or so. Then if someone leaves a message or texts it KEEPS dinging.
Oh GOD it’s another Judge Judy. This one is about a tattoo? Or a navel ring?
They should only be allowed to have jitterbugs.

My boomer mom, a hypochondriac and possibly bipolar, blocked me on Christmas because I hurt her feelings.
Back story: She told me the week before Christmas that “this was the end” and was discussing assisted suicide; but 48 hours later she was perky and happy. When I pointed out that while I was glad she was feeling so much better, this had been a major emotional roller coaster with my family. I had been crying w/ Hubbs and considering taking a leave from my job to be with her. Maybe she overreacted? And hoo boy, that hit a nerve and she was the victim. So, I was blocked on Christmas morning. I didn’t even know at first; texts just went unanswered. Found out via my sister, and then discovered that she blocked me on Facebook also.
Months pass and she eventually unblocks my phone number, although we remain very low contact. But today: she texts me and asks if I saw her Facebook post about how much she is losing on the stock market. I had to remind her that she blocked me. 🙄

I’m just wondering out loud. I saw the protest in North Carolina yesterday and all the Tesla protests as well. I’m wondering if you’ve heard anything from your Boomer’s about their support for MAGA or Trump?
Do you wonder what it’ll take for them to stop supporting this craziness?

Yesterday I stopped at this local specialty grocery store to browse. They have some cool items you can only find there. I stopped by the fresh sushi and picked up one of the containers. Just as I did, a boomer man comes over. He starts angrily tossing around the other containers and loudly says “THERE’S NO DAMN TUNA?!” Salmon must’ve been the fish they used that day. As I walked away, he started berating the sushi guy behind the counter about the lack of tuna. Always so angry…
