Young whippersnappers have been sharing the over-30s behaviour they find utterly baffling – 17 proper double takes (to people of a certain age)

10.

‘Knocking on the door and yelling for your mates to come out, instead of texting them from the door.’
-Relative_Drop3216

‘The millennial pause, as it has been dubbed. People over 30 have a tendency to pause right after they hit record inside an app on the phone. That is because, when apps like Snapchat first came around, they were notoriously slow and when you hit record there were often a few seconds delay before the app actually started recording.

‘Apparently it’s super cringe, but the kids have no idea how infuriating it was to do something cool only to realise the first few seconds were cut.’

‘Today I called a client that I’ve been e-mailing back and forth for a topic where we clearly couldn’t find a middle ground. Instead of writing another 5 mails, I decided to call her and explain in person. Gen Z avoids calling like the plague’
-SprinklesOk2847

‘Judging by the blank stares I, an over 30yo, get when interacting with younger cashiers – interacting with cashiers.’
-MarsupialNo1220

‘Insist on using a pen and paper to quickly write something down instead of just using their phone’
-Bino7280

15.

‘Still use Facebook’
-DarkBlueSunshine

16.

‘Probably preference for using text emojis. Like before when adding “:)” at the end of your sentence was considered passive-aggressive. Also, texting in full sentences without any shorthand. I feel like Gen Z might find that threatening, like you’re being too serious, and killing their vibe.’
-Vulkie

‘My little brother is Gen Z and he calls small-talk “nonconsensual communication”. Him and his friends maintain that it’s a form of assault if you speak to someone you don’t know in public, especially if they have to take a headphone out. This isn’t done in a joking or ironic way, they are legitimately serious.’
