People of all generations are sharing their most Boomer complaints – 19 pretty relatable bugbears
Baby Boomers, usually just referred to as Boomers, are those born in the post-war baby boom between 1946 and 1964.
Like any group of people, they’re a diverse bunch, but they have a reputation for being technophobic, entitled and highly likely to complain to the manager.
A Twitter/X user named @em_Lazzy asked people – of any age – to tap into their inner (or outer) Boomer.
There were a lot of responses, and most of them seemed pretty reasonable. How many of these speak to the Boomer in you?

Everything should have a “checkout as guest” option. I don’t want an account and app for everything. Here’s the money to pay for the thing, here’s the address to send the thing, now leave me alone https://t.co/jmIpdrKRLn

Can we please have physical menu cards instead of QR codes where I don’t have to give you my phone number so that you can spam me about how your new cocktail is revolutionary every 4th day? https://t.co/aPV8uwYZ40

If you only have two sizes of something, they can’t be “small” and “medium”. Medium literally means in the middle. Just call it “small” and “large”.
