@Lindsays Grandma They need a reality show based upon these scenerios. I would actually watch.

Oh, and ask them to make change...give them an extra penny or nickel to round up so you don't get a lot of change back in a store in a CASH purchase. (Do any of them use cash?)

I think there may be some truth to this one. I know a couple of new teachers who got frustrated when a parent sent in a note written in cursive because they couldn't read it. They'd pace the halls looking for translators and say, "Don't they know no one uses cursive anymore?" 😂

@maximillian

I have given up. The few times when I have done this, I just tell them how much change to give me.

Ageism is not an attractive look.

@sidsmom Actually, I don’t think it’s ageism. I think it’s showing what good sports posters are in being able to laugh at their own kids/grandkids.

Riiiiiight

But if the joke is flipped, I would guess..no, I'm sure (from past threads)...

the reaction wouldn't be as 'fun.' This forum has proven this true.
Didn't we j.u.s.t. have a thread about Ok, Boomer? And all the

negative fallout from that?

@sidsmom I am a "boomer" so I feel justified in answering you. Guaranteed if the joke was flipped there would be negative response. As you said past threads have proven this.

In all fairness a Millenial should now post a similar thread of what my generation would be confused over. I don't think they would have too much problem coming up with ideas.

@sidsmom i actually agree with you about this...i dont believe it is productive to stereotype based on many various characteristics of humans, including age.

Shorty2U — Wed, 19 Feb 2020 05:22:49 GMT

Thats funny .lol..but my kids and grandkids (ages 21, 19 and 15) know all of the above except bunny ears thanks to me. (Yes we have rotary wall phone, typewriter etc) PS What I find most disturbing is how 2 of my gtrandkdis did not have cursive in school, because everyone has to sign their names! So I taught the younger two when I babysat them. My older grandkid had cursive in school.

yep. We did have a thread about OK Boomer and the moaning and gnashing of teeth went on and on.

I realize this thread is meant to be amusing, but when Boomers are stereotyped the same way, many here do't seem to get the humour.
