baby boomers

While some unruly customers want to turn every interaction into a struggle, this one went down in a quizzical manner. Sometimes it takes being the bigger person to show a rude customer how much of an ass they're truly being, like this Karen who was defeated with overwhelming kindness. For some more customer junk, here's a tumblr thread on infuriating, entitled customers.

Sometimes in life you've just gotta kill 'em with kindness. When this millennial customer happened upon an unfortunate situation involving an entitled baby boomer rapping off some bullish complaint about their DQ Blizzard not being up to their standards, the millennial decided to intervene with acts of aggressive generosity. Suffice to say, the once whiny baby boomer was brought to a standstill. 

Anyone who has ever worked in the service industry knows that the job comes well equipped with an onslaught of challenging obstacles. Every day is its own kind of emotional rollercoaster. Through that experience though you develop a thicker skin, and ultimately cultivate a much deeper gratitude for the office gig if you ever end up landing it. This particular boomer was certainly in for a rude awakening after they assumed that the service job they had would be a typical walk in the park. Oh boy, was it not, and oh boy, did they dip ship real quick. 

Every now and again a millennial breaks out a fiery rant about how much the economy has changed, and the overarching state of the world now vs. how it used to be. Sometimes these rants are triggered by the baby boomers of the world. For some lighter Millennial-themed content check out this post where millennials pretend to be baby boomers in a Facebook group.

It's quick little tales like this that manage to temporarily restore our faith in humanity. This dude did not have to intervene when the Karen in front of them was making the Dairy Queen employee's shift all the more unpleasant, but they did. Oh yes, they did, and they did so when it came at zero benefit to them. That's the selfless kindness that the world needs. Plus, picturing Karen's face when she continued to witness someone else actively offsetting her toxic antics. 

Bob, you better not miss dinner, my dude. Alright, seriously, this group is brilliant and very well might take over your life. It's a bunch of millennials who have dedicated themselves to trolling baby boomers with statuses that are hilariously on point. 

It's time to give all the blaming and finger pointing a rest. 

For those not in the know, "OK Boomer" is a dismissive retort often used to disregard or mock Baby Boomers and those who are perceived as old-fashioned and being out-of-touch. Part of this phenomenon is the feature that many baby boomers themselves consider this to be an ageist slur. This in turn has been seen by many as a hypocritical overreaction that has been met with more Ok Boomer Roasting on Twitter. The whole thing has stirred up more discussion and argument about age and politics. Here is a Gen-X perspective and explanation of why "ok boomer" is becoming more than just a thing people say on Twitter.

In case you missed it, the "Ok Boomer" meme has been sweeping the various social media outlets like none other. Millennials are clashing with Baby Boomers, and using the memes at their disposal to drive their point home. Many would likely suggest it's all just fun and games. It looks like the younger generations are back at it again with the Baby Boomer banter. This time they're dishing out various bits of ridiculous advice. 

Millennials are infamous for being "so sensitive" and here we have the baby boomers going off over a simple meme. The 'OK Boomer' meme plays on the "Karens" of the world that get all worked up over nothing. It would seem these generations are determined to butt heads online. 

Twitter users are sharing bits of baby boomer advice that aged terribly into 2019. Some things just don't stand the test of time. At all really. 

This baby boomer wasn't ready for a millennial to fight back with cold hard logic in the comments section. You're never too old to get taken to school. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for Baby Boomers to share the issues that existed while they were young, that made them think the older generation were a bunch of idiots. Things like adults resisting the use of seat belts, and assuming that all credit cards were terrible because of being so against any kind of debt, serve as solid examples. Maybe every younger generation is just bound to have a bone to pick with their older generation. 

This student lived to regret uttering an "ok boomer" to an upset teacher in class. Now it sounds like they're running the risk of getting a "C" in class. Gotta be careful with bringing those viral memes that target the "boomer generation" in class.
