Why do Boomers insist on showing up right before you close for lunch and not realize it is an absolute dick fucking move to make?

"Close for lunch"? What are you - a Spaniard?

Spoiler: A little kindness will not spare you

When the old dragon wants a certain design on a product, so your stupid ass tells her you will check (its the beginning of your shift, you feel extra friendly, it looks good on you, ect) you don't have the EXACT product anymore, but you have just as good if not cheaper products that look just as nice and get the job done. You get 3 examples, you're proud of yourself, and you go back to her to explain what's going on, and you use that sweet voice "But! I found alternatives that will look lovely!" You got this in the bag 8)

"No I don't want those ones I want *product that is more expensive and dosen't offer as much use as the cheaper ones*"

...You proceed to blankly look at her before she asks again if you could double check, you set down the products and bluntly, blandly, coldly say "No." And leave the cunt pouty as you walk away, not bothering to let her ask anything else from you.


I hate myself for automatically dipping into a helpful little fucker at every other beginning of my shift. Hardly ever gets you anything in this life. Especially boomers who are already on their merry way to Hell, right into the jail cells of fire where they belong. My parents got to grow up with WW2 and Vietnam veterans. There's hardly any homely, kind or even interesting old people left. The only WW2 veteran I ever got to speak to simply stated that he dose not hate the Japanese or Germans, and had such kindness in him. But Linda the bitch who never did anything self-sacraficing or selfless will glare at you and brush you aside for trying to go a tad above and beyond for her pathetic desires.


I'm rather meek IRL and sickeningly polite at work, but if I could legally disregard these cunts as human beings I would do it more throughly than any mudslime dose with his 12 year old wives. The hatred continues to burn in me. It's particularly rage-inducing when a boomer spits on obvious slightly above normal acts/gestures of kindness/true help.

I need to learn how to say 'fuck off and leave me alone' in polite customer language. Even when you give a little more effort, they mean nothing. THAT is why I believe most will be dragged to the depths of Hell.

But it HAS to be better than the fabric shit, right?

I have to be real with you bro, if the goal is never having to weed again, it's not really gonna do that. You will always get weed seeds form the wind, bird poop and such, not to mention I don't personally think it's enough to defeat the nastiest spreaders (vines in general, mint family, thistle, etc)

The cardboard stuff is to kill weeds (and turf) you already have on the ground without too much effort.
Keyword on avoiding effort. The alternative being a lot of back breaking digging and Roundup.

In the link on my previous post the person suggested just plenty of wood chip mulching. I guess it's more of a compromise; knowing you will always gonne be weeding, but at least it's not making you want to kill yourself.

At least...as long as you don't neglect the garden for the entire season. Or decades.

In today's episode of hating the Boomer generation.

I have a relative that is 72 years old. She has been retired for the past decade or so and worked a part time job just to keep busy. This is all good. Somehow she got the brilliant idea that she has to... start a business at 72 years old. Not some dinky etsy store either. It is some kind of contracting service for roofing. But not replacing shingles like a normal roofing company. I do not know much about it.

What is wrong with these people?

I like the ones who think charging family members for shit they don’t even need is “teaching them a lesson”. Saw one inherit a portion of their dad’s farm that a relative had lived in for years while taking care of said dad. They have enough to own multiple homes in high income areas but still threatened to sell it if no one would pay an amount that requires mortgage debt and then act like they were teaching an important life lesson lol

 

[The Hardest R]

A guy on my team was planning to retire next month. He injected this into any conversation for months. Anything that went on after July he’d say that he’d be retired then. Well, on Friday he asked me to change his retirement date to the end of the year. He just worked with a financial guy and turns out he can’t actually afford to retire in July. So I guess he just wanted to retire because it felt good to say it, he didn’t verify until 3-4 weeks before his retirement date to see if he could actually do it. We already hired his successor. He can probably help out on various assignments but fuckin’ boomers, man.

Should have sent his bitch ass to the unemployment line

because women always wait until the last moment so everyone can get mad at them. they could be on time but that would mean that cats would go hungry for a few hours.

Oh no, I know I'm going to have to keep weeding, and honestly I don't mind and enjoy most yardwork (when it's not 400 degrees out), but more trying to keep any running weeds and grasses I missed from popping up through the mulch and keeping new arrivals from rooting too deeply into the soil. Picking weeds out of mulch is way easier. Just trying to keep things a little more manageable while I focus on other more critical projects, and more importantly, keep my future self from having to dig up more of that stupid bullshit fucking fabric shit.

Also, call me a tree hugger faggot or whatever, but I try to keep the roundup/chemical use to a minimum/not at all. I have a lot of little critters that visit the yard and I'd like to not poison them (or myself, Im already fucked up anyway)

And sorry if this posts twice, kf ate my first post.

I hold onto most cards that are given to me, but boomers with their cards/thank-you notes are infuriating. They'll go ballistic if you don't participate in this wasteful, typically meaningless gesture.

The aunt was expecting a thank-you to arrive in the mail. When that didn't happen, she threw a huge bitch-fit and acted like my mother was ungrateful and rude.

I don't even send birthday messages on Facebook 'cause I'd rather call the person or say it to their face.

This makes me come off like the most spoiled person alive, I know, but I don't think my generation values these social rituals anymore, and expecting us to is obnoxious.

It's like boomers can't do any kind deed without it being transactional in some way. It stopped feeling like, "We put this party together because we love your baby" and turned into, "We require tokens of gratitude because we went out of our way for you." Does that make sense?

The fact that your aunt got mad when the reciprocal social transaction quota™ was not met is really telling to me. I could understand getting sad -- and I should probably be even more vigilant of people trying to manipulate me by pretending to be sad, now that I think about it. However, getting mad is just crazy to me. It just affirms to me that not only do I not care about you, auntie. I'm completely correct in not caring about you.

You know what's the worst part? I wasn't able to do it right away, obviously, so this bitch was literally texting me reminders to get it done.

This is some brutal, Japan-tier social obligation booshit. Every day you delayed sending the thank-you cards reflected poorly on your grandmother-in-law, therefore she resorted to pestering a new mother. Unbelievable.

I'm so glad God made me too autistic for this. At no point have I ever even considered mailing a card to anyone in my life. I'll hand one to them in person if I'm giving a gift, I refuse to do anything more. Shit's like 3 dollahs for a fucking CARD anyway.

 

[Scream Aim Fire]

Been having a lot of issues with Boomers on my end, both at work and home. It's been rough; on the former, I've been dealing with a lot of elderly folks who're basically just too damn lazy to do even the most basic tasks. Pretty sure you all know the type; refusal to clean up after themselves and constantly leaving a mess everywhere, or demanding you do every little task for them while they sit around and gossip. I get that the elderly can need help sometimes, but... scrubbing dried mucus off of one of our appliances and having to clean the same toilet 5-6 times in one night is going WAY too far.

As for the latter; I've been having some issues with my parents. Not going to delve into things too much - TMI and all that - but it gets frustrating when you have to deal with elderly folks that act like the world is some ever-unchanging place, that you could just "walk outside right now and find dozens of jobs all hiring", that feel that it's only the younger generation that's ever made mistakes/is responsible for everything negative going on these days. It's beyond tiring.

 

[Sargon's wife's son]

Early boom was actually. Got really into the psychiatry where your kids? Sometimes get in the way of you being self actualized. Even though they didn't actually read Maslow in his Hierarchy of Needs. But it wasn't him specifically. There was a bunch of. Popular psychiatry that was basically saying you need to focus on yourself. Above other things.

I live near a couple of Boomers like this. There's a fucking SS Camero just being left to rot in this guy's yard and it's clearly suffering weather damage. They'll hoard these "valuable" cars then just do nothing to preserve them. It doesn't even get a cover on it during winter. I don't understand what the hell the endgame is. I bet if I I offered to buy it off the guy he'd give me some spiel about it increasing in value over time or some shit, as it slowly gets rustier.

A while back I went to look at an Italian motorcycle I was interested in. The husband had died and the wife was selling it; it was very obvious she was emotionally attached to it and was extremely unrealistic about its worth, given the poor condition it was in, which I hadn't been able to tell from the photos posted online.
The bike was unregistered, which wasn't a big deal, but I couldn't understand why the bike had so much rust in the subframe. Well, it turned out that retard Boomer husband hadn't used the bike for 9 years, and it had been sitting outside under a plastic sheet, which trapped all of the humidity and turned a niche, cult bike into a $1000 parts pile.
Cue Boomer wife: "These are selling for $4500..."
"Yeah, ones that are registered and in good condition...not this."
Then I noticed another bike covered in plastic. This turned out to be a high-end KTM, which was the reason the Boomer had stopped riding the Aprilia. That one was in good condition because the Boomer had only died several months earlier, but I made sure to let the woman know that this was guaranteed to result in corrosion and that she needed to either garage it or sell it ASAP.
Anyway, I was very annoyed to see the Aprilia being allowed to just rot away by an idiot who could have sold it for a good price when he wasn't going to ride it again.

 

[Preacher ✝]

Anyone else notice this weird complex boomers have where they will insist that WWII was the greatest generation as a gesture of token humility but in every other way they clearly believe they're the best generation?

They think they earned all of the success they had through hard work, and that younger generation just need to work harder, but fail to comprehend the role that generational macroeconomics play?

 

[Cybertonia]

Helped a girl out a little while ago whose dad died and left her a stamp collection, and I've got some contacts in that world so I said I could help her broker a quick deal and also make a few bucks for myself on it.

She told me she wanted everything done as discreetly as possible and with no receipts. I asked why and she said because her dad has a Boomer Deborah of an ex wife who has been literally stalking her for months demanding to get a cut of everything of her dad's stuff that she sees gets sold.

I've literally seen boomers claim their generation "built America", and without them there wouldn't be computers or roads.

Popular psychiatry that was basically saying you need to focus on yourself.

It's very, very difficult to explain the absolutely insane measure of influence 1980s feminist/greedy yuppy culture had on some of these boomers. You could even call that (combined with new age occult bullshit and warped perceptions of Christianity) the genesis of many of our modern cultural problems.

 

[Baron Rocks von Lurkinow]

Seeing this thread makes me think of my great-aunt over in South Dakota. For decades, any time someone on my mom's side of the family passed away, she would always be there, usually uninvited, to take advantage of the situation and steal shit, usually valuable heirlooms. I have recently learned that she is now in a nursing home, unable to take care of herself and now, finally, some of those heirlooms are starting to trickle their way back into the family.

There's also my dad's cousin, a very noxious boomer from what I've been told, who stole a cavalry sword used by my great-great-granduncle who died in the Civil War. Apparently sold it, our family pretty much cut off all contact with that entire branch of the family afterwards. For some reason, a lot of boomers tend to be kleptomaniacs.

I've literally seen boomers claim their generation "built America", and without them there wouldn't be computers or roads.

They think that because (for American boomers at least) the Interstate Highway System, computer development, moon landing, etc, all happened in their lifetime. However, they were all designed by members of the Greatest/Silent generations. Maybe a few Lost Generation elders in there somewhere.

For decades, any time someone on my mom's side of the family passed away, she would always be there, usually uninvited, to take advantage of the situation and steal shit, usually valuable heirlooms.

This literally happened when my dad's grandmother passed away. One of his boomer cousins more or less squatted in the house after the grandmother passed, and she refused to share anything. My uncle wanted an old napkin holder with the Lord's Prayer engraved on it. It was the only thing he was interested in, and she wouldn't even give him A FUCKING NAPKIN HOLDER.
