I've started cleaning up my neighborhood by trapping and skinning boomers. I just dug a big pit, threw some sticks and leaves on top, and then left a VHS of Forrest Gump and a dog-eared copy of a Dave Barry collection right next to it. Thinking of making a shrimp trail to the pit to lure in even more boomers.

So do they play an edited version of Gump at this cursed restaurant or does everyone nervously look away with Forrest "ruins the roommates bathrobe"? Also funny how Forest ends up in the only Army troop in 'Nam that never killed another enemy. I mean, Lt. Dan was firing blindly into the bush but I doubt he hit anything.

Come on down to your local Bubba Gump Shrimp Company and try the Forrest’s Seafood Feast, Jenny’s Catch, or a plate of Lt. Dan’s Surf n Turf! Browse the gift shop and get yourself one of several “I Gotta Pee” T-shirts or a “Stupid Is As Stupid Does” magnet! Or you can just pull up a seat at the bar and watch the movie!

Iron Crowned posted:Boomer coworker just informed me that his granddaughter didn't learn anything in High School because they didn't bother to teach her cursive. Mom and dad went on this same rant, recently. They did an escape room with my sister and some younger people and a few of the younger ones didn't read cursive and this means millenials are stupid. I did the same thing you did and my dad insists that people write in cursive all the time, and "nobody uses block lettering." Boomers love loving lying like crazy to look smart.

I think my girlfriend (48) and her daughter (15) might be boomers. They love going to Bubba Gumps, can't really use computers very well, and they did a did a themed 5k this past weekend. I got roped into the 5k as well, but put my foot down at going to Bubba Gumps, so they decided to go to the Hard Rock Cafe instead. Am I gonna get infected with the boomer too?

Woven belts. Also, ironically, wearing jeans with no belt and shirt tucked in. Paired with a 20 year old pair of Kappa shoes that were all white when new, but are now halfway green because he refused to pay some punk kid to mow his lawn.

trying to do that is a good way to gently caress up your palms. it's knowledge from tv that they have never actually tried but are still inexplicably proud of, which is boomer as gently caress.

Landline phones. What if something happens?Use the 4 cell phones that are already here? What if it's a disaster the cell phones don't work?Who the gently caress do you think is going to come, at that point? Major regional disaster, but the emergency services will just be hanging around waiting for people who still have landlines to call and will be there promptly. All the cell phone people will sure wish they had it. I'm sure nothing will happen to that infrastructure either. And then they proceed to complain about the 6 scam calls a day they get that they can't filter and fill the house with noise. Cue literal shrieking into the phone at them, as if that will help.

Boomers think Levi 501s are flattering They also still think that khakis with pleats look just fine. Boomers who finally just accepted DVD are frustrated and angry at Blu Ray for trying to trick them into buying another player Boomers will start a long winded rant about how my business is going under because I offered to text them a receipt instead of offering a paper one. If you open your retail business a minute after open they will glibly yell out "party too much last night?"

To this day I still can't write the cursive lowercase z because I was absent from school the day they did that one and the teacher was just like "Yeah we already did that, figure it out.". But I also haven't used cursive in over twenty years. What is the loving obsession with cursive?

If you’re handwriting, cursive is faster than printing. Also sometimes illegible.

Having some magical aura that causes all standard ball-point pens to stop working correctly when they start using it so they can then slam it on the counter and repeatedly exclaim "THIS PEN DOESN'T WORK!"

YOU NEED THIS FOR COLLEGE is what I was told up until 9th grade (87 or 88) when teachers switched to "must be legible, I don't care how you write". My Dad kept all the letters his sister and mother wrote him while he was in Viet Nam. They are all in cursive and I can only read maybe every 3rd or 4th letter because of how sloppy it is. But if family lore is to be trusted, most of them is his mother blaming him for being drafted.

All though grade school it was "YOU MUST WRITE CURSIVE, IN HIGH SCHOOL NO PRINTED WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED!!!" Then in high school nobody cared and almost everyone stopped using it. By then papers were expected to be typed anyways. There is still a lot of cursive around so it makes sense to know how to read it, but spending loads of time learning to be proficient when writing it doesn't make much sense anymore.
