Guess I'm in the minority, but I found the list to be hilarious! - Didn't find it to be offensive or "age-ist" at all.

I've found myself saying and doing quite a few of the things listed on occasion.

Labeling people based on their birthdate is silly. That includes people who take their horoscopes serously.

Agree with some of the list but one I definitely don't is self-checkout.  I LOVE self-checkout!  Especially when there's only one clerk and a long line at reg. checkout.

I disagree with most of the list...find it rather insulting...just like the insurance commercials that say don't be like your parents. Am a Boomer, and very few of my Boomer friends including myself, would agree with lists like this.

Omg lol I was thinking the same thing.  I like things quick and to the point.

Sort of hate to be a buzz kill here, but these types of list feed into ageism. Clear and simple. That's a very bad thing, btw.

I guess I'm a buzz kill too because I totally agree. Why anyone thinks ageism, in any form, is acceptable is beyond me.

There's a ban on plastic bags?  Not where I live.  Everything is put in a plastic bag.

Who cares?

To paraphrase a favorite movie quote:

Face it millennials,  we Boomers are older and we have more insurance! 😉😁😂😂😂

@lovepink  No plastic bags here. You have to bring your own bags.

And a whole lot more money!   

seriously though, most things on that list don't apply to me.  I think some of the people who make up these types of lists, get together and discuss random things they've observed in their older relatives.  Then they make up stupid lists that include all things mentioned, doing a lot of generalizing.
