Showing up thirty minutes before shop opens and pulling on the door, repeated knocking and shouted insults Greeting you with a racist, sexist, homophobic slur and doesn’t understand why you can’t “take a joke” Is functionally Illiterate and blames it on forgetting their “cheaters” Correcting you with lies, misinformation or sheer fabrications. When confronted with evidence will respond “I don’t know about that.”

Do you all know my Uncle or something? My uncle knocked up his girlfriend while in high school (late 60s, a scandal for small town Kentucky) and the family nearly disowns him. His mother (my grandmother) called everyone in the family, telling them not to give them any money or support because of this. A few family members decide that this isn't how you treat family and soon sneak them money and eventually everyone gets over it. My uncle marries his girlfriend and they have two more kids. In the early 80s, Uncle gets divorced and moves back in with his parents. He eventually gets a lovely two bedroom apartment and starts dating again. We wouldn't know this until the early 2000's but he also knocked up another women during this time but she left town shortly after finding out. Though sheer luck he meets my step-aunt who is 12 years younger. She's an executive at some but insurance company and her family is old money. They get married and his life changes overnight. They have debates over which $200+ brass mailbox they should get for their house. They have bedrooms that no one sleeps in but are decked out with expensive sheets and antiques. They travel the world, host "look how much money we have" parties. During my most recent visit, I witnessed him calling the local paper to complain about the price increase. They tell him that the fee also gets him access to articles online. "But I don't read the news online!" he says. He then hangs up, makes a comment about how he "couldn't even understand the CSR with that accent" and picks up his tablet and starts to read the goddamn news. His facebook feed hasl comments to women (all young, white, and blonde of course) that read the news and weather on whatever local news station that he watches at full volume WITH the captions on. Not really creepy but he says stuff like, "Wow! you're on the midday news? Just saw you on the 11:30 news last night. Hope you got some rest!" He still goes to high school reunions. His high school was demolished 40 years ago but they all still meet every 6 months or something. He's really big on people earning their keep and making their own lot in life despite the fact that he fell into money headfirst. Despite the life story I just told you, he tends to hide that and gets REALLY upset when little shits like me point it out to him. edit for content: AM Radio

Those bikes that you lay on your back and pedal. Any oddball three wheeled motorcycle, like those ones with two wheels in the front. I swear I’ve never seen anyone under the age of 60 riding those.

  Greeting cards and now memes with this lady (apparently her name is Maxine). Boomers just love using cartoons to illustrate how hilarious they think it is to be a stubborn insufferable pain in the rear end that everyone has to put up with. Kids these days are a bunch of entitled complainers though.

True story, I was at CVS and the lady in front of the line was making small-talk about her medication, and then somehow segued that into talking about how she "owns a small business so [she] likes to support small business" and I think she caught herself and changed it to "local business" but I had to cover up my ears for a little bit so I didn't cringe my balls back into my body.

Wearing T-shirts with lots of skulls and guns on them and mottos like "FREEDOM AIN'T FREE - ASK THE BOYS LIVING SIX FEET UNDER" or "YOU WANT MY GUN? IT'S GOT A BULLET WAITING FOR YOU, SNOWFLAKE." Crossing the street because a black kid is wearing a black t-shirt and might be on a "marijuana bender".
