“We never had these problems when I was growing up.” “It was completely different during my time.” “Kids these days!” You’ve likely heard some form of these statements from an older person and had the urge to respond with “OK, boomer.”
It didn’t matter if the individual wasn’t from that generation, by definition. Their nostalgia and perplexity toward the modern way of life didn’t make sense to you. But as you grow older, you experience the same longing for things to go back to the way they were “back in your day.”
These people did, and they shared their grievances in a recent post on Threads. Which of these are you also guilty of?

Thank you.
Please.
Excuse me.
These are not optional words when moving through life but somewhere in subsequent generations we lost teaching them & using them.

Kids should have chores. Not a fan of “their job is to do well in school.” They can do both.

Sometimes I like to just write things out. Paper and pencil are just better than a screen some times.

Stop making me pick out all of the boxes with stoplights in a picture. I can’t see that well.

I’m not tipping the concession stand person that handed me an empty cup. Stop giving me dirty looks that I pressed 0%, if I could press LESS THAN THAT, I would. I’m already paying for the thing, you’re already getting paid to give it to me.

1. I'm not reviewing your company or my purchase.
2. No j do not want to subscribe, I just want to buy your product.
3. Not so I want to download a sodding app.
4. I'd like my purchases to last 10+ years, instead of being made so shoddily they barely last 5.

It’s horrible that kids use ChatGPT to do all their writing assignments. Writing is a valuable and necessary skill for adult life.

Physical media/journalism, which has no comments section. Each reader can decide how they feel about the news they consume before anyone else influences them.
