They might have slight mental problems, so they hyper focus on what you aredoing, and the wait is killing them. who knows. All I can say, is SORRY, please try to have more patience with us. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah, when most people complain about boomers, it's usually people in their 50s, which are gen-xers. Boomers tend to get pretty chill and passive in their old age. --- ...I think I'm done here... <cite>Hayame_Zero posted [p:979380144] in Why are bo...

GranTurismo 03/15/24 9:53:21 AM #44:	Sufferedphoenix posted... I've had bad ones in my age group but for different reasons. Girl looked me dead in the eye as I was bringing the trash can back from emptying it and still dumped her trash in that hole that had no can in it. Then her bf threatened to beat my ass cause I sighed and mumbled something under my breath you are like in fast food? and she did that? unbelievable her guy threatens to beat you up. Then you had to walk away when they were completely in the wrong. Oh no, they figure they are incapable of being wrong , or can't figure out when they might be wrong. Unbelievable. <cite>GranTurismo posted [p:979380202] in Why are bo...

The gen x and millennials complain but refuse to process the obvious, visually unobstructed reason why something might be slow (e.g. lack of staffing, size of a location, etc).

Many behavioral things that people attribute to "boomers" are actually being done by Gen Xers. So the so whatever was happening that made the topic creator ask "Why are boomers such impatient asses?" is probably being done by 45-60 year old Gen Xers and not 65-80 year old Boomers. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. <cite>bigblu89 posted [p:979380430] in Why are bo...
