There's only two things I hate in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's generation, and the millennials.

Can also be used to refer to a boomer who seems surprisingly OK.

I'm so old that I used to tell this story to people to figure out if they were too young to bother with:

A friend and I were in a cheap restaurant for breakfast after being up all night. Server brings the drinks we ordered, sets them down, goes about her business.

"... Hey! This isn't orange juice. This is Tang. Who does she think we are, astronauts??"

👍

It's definitely based on where you live... Whether you get a USDA backed loan, etc... I financed my house, 15 yrs ago when rates were between 3 and 6 percent. 2200sqft 3br, 2 bath, with half finished basement on a half acre, and deeded lake access point (Lake Norman) they wanted 120K, but I talked them down to 100K. Since it's out in the country ( about 15 minutes from the city), it qualified for USDA, which means no closing costs, 30 year FIXED RATE. I pay $650 a month for my mortgage...Only downside is that it was built in 1973, but there are so many houses out here like this, just sitting...

Exactly, I have more important thing’s to do than repeat myself to someone who does not care

When I was growing up, my mom loves using the phrase which would roughly translates to "while you are still going forward, I'm turning back", which is a thought terminating cliché to mean do as she says because she has experience. She doesn't say it as much as she used to because she regrets having been a strict parent. But if she pulls that line again, I have a comeback ready to tell her "you've turned back, but the environment you grew up in changed".

I always kinda wonder if they went the same experience of being misunderstood by their previous generation. Old people get inflexible and its also an indication the world is still changing alot with each generation. Still the lack of self reflection is astonishing.

They were channeling their inner Gen X with that one. "Whatever."
