Boomer infestation

[thenoise]

Boomers are fucking idiots. All those boomer humour newspaper comic strips about millennials being glued to their phones and now boomers are probably like 60% of the Facebook user base.

Whenever I visit my parents now they are sitting in the living room with the television on (usually either paused or it's an obscure nostalgia radio channel playing), they are each staring at a separate tablet device and/or a phone as well, and my Dad usually has headphones in.  Not talking to each other and the dog looks bored out of his mind.  I usually bring a paperback to fill in the pauses in human interaction.  When they look up from their devices, they regularly moan about how out of touch and old they are and how I probably know how to use their gadgetry much better than them (even though I can't afford any of it).

Boomers go on about manners, yet are the worst with technology. My mum sits there with her phone beeping away at full volume as she's in the middle of a massive text exchange and my dad won't think anything of watching a video on his tablet or laptop at full volume while everyone's trying to watch the telly.

Toasters are great, you bastards, what's wrong with you?

[seepage]

Boomers had excellent music before they all got cd players and started listening to Simply Red.

someone who was usually the coolest guy in the room proclaimed Holding Back the Years to be a masterpiece when it was released.

reckon we could get a whole thread out of worthwhile single-purpose kitchen tat.

[Ferris]

I'd fucking love to have been a boomer. Dodge all the wars, free education, buy up a load of houses for pennies, vote conservative, have the world handed to you, complain about the next generation, go to the golf club and drink a bottle of claret for lunch. Yes mate, nice one.

Just lost one of them because it decided to go on its phone. It'll probably call an ambulance to take it home when it decides it's too chilly.

'Have I told you about my knees?'

[Dex Sawash]

This is gecko's people?

[Blue Jam]

Hahahaha, look at these snowflake students complaining about having to pay £150 per week to live in a flimsy box the size of a snooker table!

Fucking snowflakes... OMG there are no toasters...

[Sebastian Cobb]

love the faux brickwork trying to make them not look like fucking portakabins.

[Twed]

Oh god don't let them see your avocados pancreas

[dallasman]

'Have I told you about my knees?'

"Is she the one studying to be a nurse?"

That's the kind of joke these bastards like, isn't it?

I bet you would you dirty old bollocks etc.

What the fuck is wrong with toasters?

I find the anti-toaster portion of this thread to be deeply weird.

[Sebastian Cobb]

Also how do people without microwaves reheat stuff they've already cooked?

[pancreas]

No bread you should actually want to eat will fit into a toaster.

[Sebastian Cobb]

No bread you should actually want to eat will fit into a toaster.

Not in a shit toaster.

[Twed]

Toast. Er. Ov. en.

Quality deso material here.

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

Are there no kitchen facilities in them studentcabin things?

[Blumf]

Toasters are more of a Gen-X thing, aren't they?

[Twed]

Alright let's get some Babylon 5 made!

[Blue Jam]

IS THE RIGHT ANSWER

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

I just told some boomers about this thread and once they've finished working in their high paid jobs/cutting the grass, they're coming in here to give you a piece of their minds.

[Blue Jam]

Better than giving us a piece of their toast.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Their awful milquetoast

[hamfist]

Me : Where did you buy your new coat ?

Boomer : Garden centre

[pancreas]

They do their fucking weekly food shops in garden centres. They seem to find them bucolic, rather than the ghastly made-in-China plastic-filled shit-holes that they actually are.
