“Well, back in my day…” says a twenty-something year old, reminiscing about “the good old days.” While that might sound funny, some people are old souls who might relate to the elderly more than they do with their own peers.
Many young(-ish) people, like yours truly, often find themselves agreeing with people a few generations older than themselves. Just take this post on Threads, for example: one user asked fellow netizens what is something that makes them go “I’m with the boomers on this one,” and many were eager to share, discussing all sorts of issues and situations. You can find them on the list below.

Children should be well behaved in restaurants. Yes, you actually can teach them to stay in their seats, bottoms on the cushion and not screaming and running through the booth or climbing under tables. Don't poke the people at the next table:

Basic human interaction skills and sharing public space. “Excuse me, thank you, pardon me, etc.” Stepping to one side on a sidewalk, escalator, or trail. Manners have gone the way of the dodo.

I pay way too much in taxes for our public school to not supply crayons, pencils, and tissues to kids.

I miss tv seasons with 21-24 episodes every 9 months. This 6-10 episodes every 2 years on streaming platforms is stupid.

I hate screens in cars. Give us radios with knobs and buttons. Give us real dash gauges. Give us climate control knobs. Texting and driving is illegal, but you have to mess with an iPad to turn on the damn AC.

It's actually a perfectly good idea to have a simple backyard pitch-in wedding rather than going into debt on an overblown extravaganza

Everyone is responsible for their own well-being; it’s no one else’s job to shield you from potential triggers (also, hate the word “trigger”)

I don’t want to download a goddamn app so that I can patronize your business. I give you money and you provide goods and services. We’re not friends. And quit calling everything an experience.

1. I want buttons and knobs to control essentials of my car (radio, A/C, ect.)
2. I don’t need a subscription or even an account to use every functionality that I bought a device for.
3. Older cars are easier to work on

People wearing earphones whilst hanging out with their friends. Like, how important is that music that you've got to listen it in place of listening to your friends

I paid for a computer with a hard drive onto which I would like to save my files. Do not upload them to the cloud, save them locally on the hard drive for which I paid money. Especially if cloud storage will eventually cost me money, which I have already paid for a hard drive onto which to save my files. If I would like to back up said files to cloud storage, I will do so manually, do not make this the default option on the computer with a functioning hard drive for which I paid money.
