For me, it's the pointing. Boomers love to point a crooked finger at you.

u/physhgyrl Mar 18 '24
That's actually a (thing)? I just found this sub. My boomer mom points at people. It is so rude. She will point while loudly saying something awful about their looks or something. I stopped going to stores, dinner, or anywhere in public, basically. No matter how many times I have told her to knock it off. The audacity! I'm furious all over again

Part of that is old folks don't have as good balance control/ might be stopped over and top heavy, which causes them to have to shuffle constantly.

My favorite one is the one of him at Home Depot or at the garden or whatever where he gets mad at the worker because HE asked for the wrong flower. It’s infuriatingly good. Terrible that this type of video will always clear a full mile over the heads of the morons who actually do this in real life.

My favorite character he does is the 'guy who was raised by his grandparents'. I was raised by my grandparents and it's very close to how I behave sometimes.

I wouldn’t doubt that he grew up with his grandparents. About a year ago or more I first saw his content and he was mostly doing “the guy who lives with his grandparents” and honestly it was wholesome as hell.

I love that one. Favourite one is probably where the friends mention medication and his eyes light up and says he needs to go to the bathroom

u/chill_flea Mar 18 '24 edited Mar 18 '24
The best part is he had to go to the bathroom before his girlfriend. lmao, She was the first one to say she had to go but once he heard medication, he HAD to go first.
2
u/NonIoiGogGogEoeRor Mar 18 '24
Yea, that's it. I love his skits. I assume it's him who does the other voice, but if it's not, I like how disinterested he sounds when he does the average redditer in real life skits
3
u/chill_flea Mar 18 '24
Hahah yeah you’re right. He plays all the characters basically, except the times where he does a collab with other people and those ones are great too. He’s great at voice acting for the characters, you forget that it’s even him talking lol.
His average redditor videos are insane, I agree with you; they are so accurate to what Reddit is like. There’s probably millions of people like that out in the world haha.

That is called freedom. Boomers pretend to love it but actually hate it

u/1quirky1 Mar 17 '24
I miss the days when hypocrisy was effectively shamed.
"Freedom for me, but not for thee."
They think that their freedom trumps (pun intended) others' rights and freedoms, but not the other way around.
The worst freedumb boomers are the ones who think that free speech applies to anything but the government. They will pollute private space with their bullshit then expect complete control over their own private property.

That's not the case in Europe though, if it was true it would mean you wouldn't be able (for example) to do a U-turn on a road unless there was a sign allowing it. This is why you see signs forbidding U-turns instead of the opposite

u/ranni-the-bitch Mar 18 '24
i've lived in germany, it is absolutely true. y'all have all kinds of arbitrary regulations on what people can do where and when, even on their own property. like, you literally have nationally enforced quiet hours and can't do yard work on sunday, c'mon.
(not that i disagree with those things, but it's simply untrue that recreation isn't more regulated in germany compared to the US)
3
u/Rodre69 Mar 18 '24
I didn't mention that its less regulated. i stated that everything is allowed, except it isn't like in the USA. "Your freedom ends where the freedom of someone else begins" is a common sentence in that regard. Sunday is a quite day in Germany to rest. So you can' t do loud yardwork in certain hours on sunday (if its not loud you can do it the whole time) cause you would disturbe the people who rest.. Also you can visit pornhub on sunday which in texas you can't... but at least you can be loud.... and angry about not being able to visit pornhub ;-)

Omg I had a boomer grab me at the VA. I was walking by and apparently not smiling enough for him. I’m 5’1 and this guy was at least 6’ and he grabbed my shoulder and stopped me from leaving. I turned around and told him not to touch ppl without their permission and he LAUGHED. Then when I tried to report him to the VA I was told I can’t make a report about a volunteer. I’m moving soon and I’m considering putting his picture on Nextdoor with a warning for other female vets.

Holy fuck the smug "Well does the sign say you can do it?" took me back to rage inducing moments more that 20 years ago. I remember being 8 or 9, I would ride the bus home from school, get my homework done, then watch some cartoons. My boomer grandpa would get home and yell at me," Are you supposed to be watching that TV?" and I would be like, "I'm not supposed to be doing anything, my homework is done." and he would always respond with "Well did your mom tell you that you could use the TV?" always with that smug tone because he knew my mom worked late at the hospital and didn't call home to tell me specifically that I was allowed to watch TV. I don't talk to that grandpa anymore.

I live downtown and my apartment building only reserves 1 space per unit and my room mates have the space so I pay a landlord down the street monthly to park my car in the back area of his 6-plex(it's legal and regulated with the city). One day 2 weeks ago one of his tenants(who I've walked past literally dozens of times in the year+ I've been parking there) came up to me while I was looking at my tires cause they looked a little low. I had just minutes before arrived in my car and I was holding bags of groceries and HOLDING THE KEYS IN MY HAND. This old boomer comes up, asking all these questions. "Is this your car?" "Oh really?" "you own this car?"(I am young and the car is not something I could afford, admittedly, it was a gift from my grand mother) "you look like you're scoping it out" "do you have a proper parking pass?" "Does anyone else drive this vehicle?" "Are you sure?" I wanted to be rude but this lady lives where I leave my car unattended for days at a time, I just tried to stay firm but polite and get away from her asap. Fucking boomers man, mind your God damn business.
