You Wouldn’t Expect Young People To Be Annoyed About These 35 Things, But They Are

People tend to think that only the seasoned veterans of life can be grumpy with their opinions. We often like to call out boomers for sharing their seemingly outdated takes on life, work, parenting, relationships, and technology. Yet sometimes, young people can also have opinions that aren't so progressive and "with the times."
Zoomers in this thread certainly seem to have their fair share of things to yell at a cloud about. When one young person online asked, "What's the most boomer complaint you have?", over 5,000 people came to share their hot takes. 
Take a look at them below, and let us know, Pandas, whether you agree with these opinions. And if you have any things that irritate you about today's world on a similar level, feel free to share them with others below!

I hate tech in cars. With a passion. I want a hand break. I want levers and dials and buttons with physical feedback.

Kids need to be taught that their actions have consequences, specially when it comes to “Prank” videos where people are just annoying in public. Other people are not NPCs, you are not the main character, and if you knock s**t out of my hands for a “prank” I will slap tf out of you, I don’t care how privileged you think you are. It’s so dystopian that the age of these creators keep getting younger and younger and we seriously need to address this problem more bc 10 year olds making “prank” videos are going to get themselves or someone else hurt.

Are you an app based company? NO? Then don't force me to download an app to use your service.


I know you're just selling my info. Trying to profit off me twice. I will always give you 1 star for this. It's cheap and scammy.

Gen Zer sitting by a window, looking contemplative, possibly reflecting on boomer complaints.
People are too sensitive nowadays.

Hear me out. Yes, it's great that we're becoming less tolerant of prejudice, but there are a******s everywhere. You need to be able to build up some resilience for your own sake.

I hate that you need an app for everything. Don’t get me wrong, I love apps. I couldn’t get through my day without Spotify, YouTube, my banking apps, etc. but when f*****s like McDonald’s want me to get an app just so I can get menu items at their normal prices, they can f**k right off.

Planned Obsolescence.
FuQ whoever invented that concept. In the bootyhole. With a cactus.

My uncle has a 1949 Chevrolet deluxe. It still runs.

I've got a GM double bay electric range I inherited from my dad. It's from the late 1950s... it Still works... everything on it, still works. It has saved me buying a new one for YEARS.

There was a time when stuff got made locally by people who took real pride in craftsmanship.

Now? it's all made with the assumption it'll be I'm a landfill 2 months after the warranty. We are more technologically advanced then ever but we make worse c**p than the boomers parents did. WTF?

Cities need to STOP BUILDING THOSE UGLY A*S EXPENSIVE CONDOS/APARTMENTS.

I keep seeing wild grass fields and mass amounts of woodland being torn down for these abominable structures and it makes me so mad every time another micro habitat is destroyed for profit.

“smart” appliances of any kind. More expensive because they’re trying to peddle it as something top of the line and new and awesome, then infinitely more expensive once your brand new item breaks after 3 weeks of owning it and you have no choice but to shell out money on top of money to make the damn thing work again, and there’s only like 1 guy in the whole state that works on the repairs for the f****n thing so the company can charge you 1 million dollars an hour. Add on the typical planned obsolescence and ruining our earth and resources for it all and you’ve got one angry b***h (me).

Gen Zer on a bus, wearing glasses and a striped shirt, focused on their phone.
Why is everyone always on their f*****g phones? When I see friend groups all sitting around on their phones instead of talking to each other it's depressing.

Having phones banned at schools is actually not a bad idea. Kids are glued to their screens all day then complain they have bad social skills or no friends which is just... come on now. And I'm no extrovert myself but at least make an effort.

Nobody seems to respect each other. Seriously, it's all "me me me me me" and they think they are entitled to respect without actually giving it to others.
