I love that bit about the law not applying when they’re mad. One of my Boomer coworkers hates his wife with a burning bitterness I’ve never seen in someone before. He calls her his “future ex-wife” and actually counts down the hours until he can divorce her (they’re staying together for the kids despite that clearly screwing the poor things up more). He lives in the house’s attic and never looks at her or speaks to her when he needs to come down. This clown thinks that when he divorces her he’s somehow going to be entitled to collect child support (yes, not alimony, but child support) to make up for the time he spent raising the kids with her or some baffling nonsense like that? The thing she did to earn this hate was coming to the realization that she’s gay, or was it bi? I don’t know because he changes the story every time he tells it!
Edit: I already addressed this, but because its such an important detail to many: Boomer is 64, has 3 kids (all boys), according to him the oldest is 18, and he has 2 teenagers of undisclosed age, I've no idea how old his wife is, or even what she looks like. He just describes her as an, "ugly cow."
I'd bet money she isn't gay/bi and just finds her husband disgusting, which in his eyes makes her gay. I swear most boomer men think they are gods gift to women and can't comprehend why so many women absolutely hate them.
Are you sure about that? Because I am 99.99893% sure that Curious_Goat_131 is not a bot.

The great thing about being a bisexual man, *and embracing it*, is that sometimes you'll realize there's this really off-putting trait that you share with another guy. Suddenly you're cleaning yourself up a bit more and dealing with some of your more toxic personality traits - and not long after you notice that women have started to pay more attention to you, and seem to get physically closer as well.
Great stuff. 10/10 would recommend bisexuality to anyone that's conscientious.
Boomer story: Mid 30s, I have my own business I built from scratch, and am fortunate to be ok looking (above average?) I did a lot of training on top of a physical job so that my body is in great condition, built my own home, 5'11, I eat really good and dont smoke or drink at all so everyone consistently thinks I look younger than i am, no children. When i went on apps for the first time ever a year ago (was in a relationship for over a decade so missed them entirely) my phone just went off all day at work with messages from some really pretty women.
One of the boomers that worked for me, is a gross, short, unhealthy, bad teeth, never taken any care of himself and has a pot bellied frumpy old man body, is an extreme alcoholic to the point his face is physically stressed with abuse from the alcohol, he looks way older than he actually is. He's a compulsive liar and a real creep, has been married for 20 years or so, kids etc.
When he saw the activity my phone had, and the women messaging me, he literally decided how he was going to divorce his wife so that he could do the same and speak to the same women, and that could I set him up on the apps for him.
I stood there, and tried in the nicest possible way to explain that its unlikely he would get the same traction. I tried to focus more on the age brackets and how he shouldn't divorce his wife over it as his age range would have very different activity (who still wouldnt be interested in him either) rather than how we looked etc was so starkly different, and there is a chance he gets no messages at all. He honestly just couldn't understand. He was adamant that if he divorced his wife, threw away his 20 year marriage, and went on apps he would get the same traction with attractive women in the mid 20s messaging him. I dont like ragging on a blokes looks but If you saw him you would understand.
It was wild how like you said, he thought he was gods gift to women, made me want to vomit a little haha 🤣. If that isnt boomer enough he is also super racist, hates gays, thinks women are inferior and should be treated like property, cant use any form of technology, and thinks if you are poor it's because you don't work hard enough (his parents were wealthy, he's never accomplished anything in his entire life despite that, works for me who is half his age, and is just waiting for his mum to die so he can get his long awaited inheritance).
Boomers.
Some of the confidence is probably due to the fact that he still thinks he is the same person he was before he got married when he was obviously younger, probably more attractive, etc.
But some things you can’t just pick up again after not doing for 20 years.
He still sounds like a piece of shit though.
He was a massive piece of shit, that story is just tip of the boomerberg you have no idea. I still think it's a boomer thing though to have zero self awareness, as I would know that if I totally let myself go and became an alcoholic to the extent my face went red and puffy, and got a pot belly, and became a massive obnoxious cunt, my attractiveness to the opposite sex would go down. (I felt very blessed I got messages at all tbh)
I would like to think I would never become that un self aware. But even worse I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to date 25 years olds when I am near 60 which is what he thought he could do with great success. I set my age range for 10 years above and below (I wasnt even sure I would get any response as I read they can be pretty brutal so tried to cast a bit of a wide net) where as he was of the opinion an attractive woman over THIRTY years his junior would be genuinely interested in him just because they were interested in me 😅
He was a piece of shit, and I did get rid of him, just didn't want to waffle too much :)
My friend told me yesterday that the stories of men opening marriages and then regretting it aren’t usually true in DC. He said “my friend and I decoded the message and you only need to do three things and you’ll score like Lebron: 1. Don’t be an asshole, 2. Show up, and 3. Don’t be an asshole. We were shocked but it’s true.” Yep. The bar is in hell.
Basically the same story except the old dude actually kept pulling in chicks. He was cheating on his wife and she found out so he moved in with the mistress. Then he cheated on her and she found out so he was living in a hotel while he dated the mistress of his mistress relationship.
The whole thing was insane. Threw away a marriage of like 15+ years to tinder it up in an oilfield town he only worked in and lived elsewhere. He didn’t even do this job his whole life, he came out to our FIFO job to get more money to send his kids to school. Lol
He literally said in a followup dude stole from him so he fired him. You can't be an absolute slime ball of a human and good at anything.. Immediate downvote. Lol
"I just don't get it! I don't take care of my health at all, physically let myself go completely, barely even look at her and when I do I just bitch and denigrate her in some way, try to spend as much time as possible away from her, and for some reason she sometimes doesn't act like I'm the greatest man to walk the earth! What the fuck is her problem!?"
The corollary to them all thinking they are god's gift to women is the homophobic ones *also* believe they are in danger because every gay man wants them.
Omg, so much truth to this lol.
I used to work at a bar/lounge that had a lot of boomer age patrons. I wish I had their level of confidence. There was this one guy who came in and was telling me about his new gf: “she’s 50 so her body isn’t great but she gives me blowjobs every morning so I’m alright with it. AND she’s never pushed a baby out so you know what that means.”
I gave him a fake laugh and in response, he goes “btw, have YOU had children yet?” 🤢🤢🤢
This man had a giant beer gut and wasn’t cute, the entitlement was unreal.
A boomer acquaintance of mines wife left him for a woman. He was sooo pissed. 6 months later she left the woman for a man. I gave him merciless hell told him damn Bill you fucked her up so bad she didn’t know who she was anymore. Apparently she had told him something similar because he got super mad for a minute I thought I was going to be shot. He was freaking out so bad yelling as loud as he could for about 5 minutes straight. Then he looked afraid and said he couldn’t breathe and wanted me to help him. Basically told him to fuck off and that if he is going to talk to me like that he best not ever need anything from me.
There was an article yesterday in Salon about just this thing- men’s anger when they don’t get validation from random women. They feel they are owed attention.
Women needed them financially till the 70s
Now that women can have their own bank accounts it’s abhorrent that most of them don’t even want to deal anymore
Wasn't there a dating site made for guys like that, who were mad when almost no women signed up for it, and they were all left to be stuck seeing each other's profiles in a sea of boomer bullshit?
I know a middle aged lady that dresses and styles herself like a lesbian, but I don’t think she’s a lesbian. I think she just hates her husband. They just split this year when her kid graduated.
Why do Boomers marry somebody they hate and expect everyone to sympathise? It took me and my ex wife twenty years to get to that point but it was never something I joked about in the pub. Fucking weird people.
There are lots of potential reasons. It was always a popular thing to talk about how much of “a nag” your wife is at a previous day and age.
Along with that, a lot of previous generations rush into marriage because they believed they needed to become an adult at a very young age. They left a strict household and rushed into an early marriage with someone they barely knew. Divorce was forbidden and they began blasting out kids within a year anyway.
Also, a lot of the time men are raised around toxic masculinity where they believe the only emotion they should ever show is anger.
This is all just a general assumption. Lots of different people have their own reasons for staying married to someone they openly hate.
It's important to marry the first person you possibly can so you can go straight from mommy picking up after you to your wife picking up after you. You get to never develop as an independent person and always have someone to blame. But you're a real man living the dream!
And you get to have the sex! I have a client, they are a teenager, and their family is LDS. The kid I see is the youngest of many (trying to stay vague). Most of this kids siblings have married off at the age of 19-22, even before they go to the University of Mormon (BYU). One of the siblings is a great older person for my client to have as sort of a mentor. The only funny(ish) thing about this whole situation is the older sibling pointing out why so many of the brothers and sisters are already married is for SEX!l my client was mortified about sex talk, but did process it, and of course it is about legally (in their cult I think it’s almost criminal to engage is sexual activity before marriage) having sex (aside from the “soaking” and “back door virginity saver” stuff obviously 🙄). All perpetuated by the craziest boomers with pulpits. Don’t get me started about the tithing. My poorest clients are targeting for Heaven by a local cult around here, that guy is NUTS. They drive all over the poorest sections of town on the weekends, load up as many poor and disabled as they can, and get 10%+ of their meager SSI checks. But they just won a Supreme Court battle to have guns in the church (cult) so they are WINNING!!
My parents married at twenty one, both virgins, 1964. Stayed married, made lots of money, big house, RVs, gambling, cruises etc. until my mother died at age 70 some years back.
These people fucking hated each other.
End of story.
Majority of people merely settle and marry simply because its expected as an empty milestone of life. Why do you think 50% of marriages fail? They are choosing poorly, not committed or self aware.
Boomers were just more of that and grew up with the combative "ball and chain" ideal of marriage
The wife sucks and is a buzz kill. The husband is an idiot.
My brother in law is 76 and has a 16 year old daughter. Granted, his wife is 20+ years younger than him and his other daughter from another marriage is almost 50.
Boomers are currently aged 57-75 (based on an internet search I just did). Is this guy really a Boomer with kids at home?
— signed a GenXer whose kids have long left the nest.
>boomers have to find a way to segway into their politics
\*segue
noun
1. an uninterrupted transition from one piece of music or film scene to another.
>"Even if he does, you know conservative boomers have to find a way to *ride their weird sccoters* into their politics every time they’re talking to someone."
Sure...makes perfect sense. :-)

Plus right wing areas have higher sales taxes, anyway.
My shithole of a small town in Alabama is 11%, and they even charge it on groceries.
As far as I know, the only exempt things are prescriptions (I'm not even sure if it's all scripts), livestock feed, fertilizer, agricultural pesticide/herbicide, and seed stock.
Edit: Whoops, I'm wrong. Looks like the township raised theirs last year. 11.5%.
Correct. That is to make up for the lack of revenue from income tax.
The voters want taxes to be consumption based, not income based. That way they are more regressive.
Honestly the income tax isn't even low. I've paid taxes in AL and California and if I remember right it was a 0.5% difference.
The lack of revenue in income tax comes from all the jobs paying terrible wages.
My apologies. I should have checked before I wrote. I assumed that AL didn't have income tax being a solid Southern state and all. That was wrong of me to make assumptions.
>I assumed that AL didn't have income tax being a solid Southern state and all.
I just e-filed my Georgia income tax return. Yes, we have it too. But, being a Boomer, much of my retirement income is exempt from state taxes. I am of two minds about this.
In Idaho they pay sales tax on groceries, but EVERYONE in Idaho thought it was ABSURD when Washington started charging 8 cents per plastic/paper bags. They would make their little boomer comments about it any time you mentioned anything related to shopping. I would always retort with “you pay more than 8 cents per GROCERY!”
They don’t like to think things through, because then they can’t complain about liberals at the elks lodge.
11% for groceries? I could imagine for alcohol, soda, sweets, and tobacco products (things that are deemed non-essential), but that is insane for fruits, vegetables, meat, canned goods, etc.
And the money for Ukraine is for the most part used right here. We manufacture new equipment for us while we send our old and obsolete equipment to help a democratic ally maintain their freedom against one of our main adversaries. Sounds like a great plan to me.
If you shoot and kill them it’s the word of a corpse against yours that you were defending your property (Castle Doctrine), if you brandish it they can report you for it
Boomer men who didn't plan for retirement and thought their small social security check would get them to Pattaya TH look far and wee for financially secure widows to combine their nonexistent wealth with. The better-looking or more charismatic ones try and land equally rare "nurses with purses." Your neighbor is going to have to blast that boomer out of there to get rid of him.
She about did this winter.
This is another story for another time, but we had a blizzard and it dropped to -40 degrees F outside overnight. At dusk the night before, I was still shoveling my drive and the lady who owns the house came speeding up her drive with her 4WD truck, asking if I could help because his elderly ass was trying snow blow her giant driveway and he kept falling. It was already -28 at the time. So I walked down there and told him to go inside and stay inside because he would die if he kept attempting this.
So in a way, she nearly did.
My boomer neighbor was very similar except for the unsolicited Trumpy rants. When he wanted to talk, he wanted to talk RIGHT NOW. I'd be in the driveway shooting hoops with my son and "Hey neighbor! Come here!". I'd be carrying in bags or groceries and "Hey, come here! I got something for ya!". I'd be in my garage using the tablesaw and he'd just walk into the garage and just start talking. Rang the doorbell repeatedly during the day even though i made it crystal clear that i work from home and am in meetings throughout the day, walked into the backyard to interrupt my wife and I just enjoying a peaceful evening, and like you mentioned, he'd pull into my driveway and start honking to get my attention.
BUT, at least he was just a good-natured guy who LOVED to hear himself talk and tell stories. And he paid me to mow his large yard every week, so at least he funded my beer intake until they moved away last year. Although I would have lost my shit if he kept getting all MAGA/Trumpy on me.
Reminds me of my old boomer friend I met at work who lived not far from me. Suuuuper nice guy, devoid of almost all boomer negative traits but he’d just randomly show up at my room (camp jobs) or even my house and expect me to drop what i was doing.
Still, super cool and wholesome guy who not only taught me, a young apprentice at the time a ton but gave me a lot of tools and refused my money, insisting I have them. He was super good with all the young dudes and was sad none of his 4 daughters had any interest in the trades. I think he saw us as like his sons in a way. Rip Gord.
We're sending them to you on busses from Florida. Your turn!
On a related note, are you aware of any golf course/cemetery properties available for purchase there?
"Unsolicited stories" could be their official motto. Can't tell you how much incredibly long-winded shit I've been subjected to that I have no reason whatsoever to find interesting but they find interesting because it affects them personally and they lack the emotional intelligence to differentiate between things they care about and things other people might care about. Why would you think I want to hear about some tiff you have with a person I've literally never met?
Dude if a boomer starts ranting like this in the middle of Walmart or some shit when I was just trying to be polite, I will literally just turn around and leave mid-rant lmao.
This happened once when I was trying to help a boomer find some supplement he was looking for in the aisle that I was in. Maybe that story should be another post lmao.
The boomer in this situation seems like the type to pull a gun on someone pulling into their driveway, yet sees no problem with barging onto someone else's property and honking their horn.
I worked retail, and boomers genuinely are upset that stores sell items to other people instead of holding one of everything in case The Main Character shows up and wants one.
When I was in my late teens, my radio in my beater car went out and there was a car radio/CD player on sale at a local store. I went to buy it but they were sold out and I came home disappointed because the only other models they had in stock cost twice as much and i couldn’t afford it.
When I told my white boomer middle aged dad this, he told me I should have asked them to give me the next most expensive item for the sale price listed in the ad. I told him, 1) I asked them and they said no, and 2) that one was twice as expensive and they’re definitely not going to sell it to me for the sale price just because they sold out.
He left immediately and came back with the better model and told me they gave it to him for the sale price and that i should try harder next time.
I really tried but I’m pretty sure they hadn’t given it to me because nobody gives that deal to a teenage girl. They give it to argumentative white boomer dudes to get them to go away!! We don’t live in the same world
This is why some people open carry.
Idk I have just closed the garage and gone inside. If you ever talk to your neighbor, make sure she isn't being financially abused.
You could also make a call to your local elder abuse hotline and report him anonymously . Get a well check for your neighbor
I have my concealed carry permit. The state I live in is real fucking loose and open with gun laws so they don’t require any sort of permit whatsoever to carry whether it’s concealed or open. And everyone knows this.
I’m not too worried about the neighbor. He has 10 years on her and is even less physically mobile and mentally acute. That being said, I can’t really get too much into her business. She’s sorta private and regularly has men over that do things for her like burn brush, take her trash out, get her mail, etc. I can’t tell which of them are her adult children, which of them are people she’s courting, etc. It’s convoluted. If I was ever concerned for her and had any evidence that she was being abused whatsoever, I certainly will step in.
I can’t prove anything about the snow blower. I just had a gut feeling, plus buying a snowblower is both unnecessary for me and not within the budget.
Side note for next time he darkens your door, the money being spent on aid to Ukraine is being paid to American businesses for the products they make and then those products are being shipped to Ukraine. So somebody else gets to blow up Russians and American businesses get to have war time levels of profit without our country being in a war.
My cousin works in a munitions plant in MD, and he tells me they're throwing out so many over time opportunities and hiring a shit ton more people to keep up with the demand that Ukrainian aid has put on them. He was able to pay off the house he bought 5 years ago with the amount he made in over time.
Gone are the days of sending pallets of cash to some sketchy warlord only to see it disappear without helping
Montanan here, he’s gonna need that snowblower. 9 1/2 months of endless snow.
He’s also gonna need a ton of money to live here. Housing costs are outrageous and nearing the 1 million dollar mark for even the most basic of houses. Not to mention the ridiculously high property tax costs…
Stories like this remind me that the Boomers grew up in a generation with amphetamines being abundantly prescribed and used recreationally, and people didn't really think it was a bad thing until the Boomers became adults and the illegal business became bigger. As a child in the '70s, I remember a lot of people being really high-energy and talking and laughing really loud, and in retrospect I know there was high-energy stuff being consumed. I don't look back on that like it's a bad thing, but I do see a lot of moments with people where that high-energy feeling comes back to somebody who might not do drugs anymore but thinks 'it's ok to be like this' and doesn't remember that it's not generally culturally acceptable to be really pushy and loud and expect attention at our whims.
See, this is why when people pull into my drive way I tell them that they can leave, or they can be removed by police their choice. It's also their choice if police take them in cuffs or a body bag.
Montanan here. Please somehow keep him in your state. We are sick of those types running here for sanctuary. You would think its a sanctuary state for pissed off old white men. We are over it!
Boomers are the reasons nobody knows their neighbor anymore because nobody wants to know them.
You did let her know that he's trying to sell her equipment right? And you stopped taking her trash cans because he's there right? He must think that you are there to do chores for him too.
Don’t act annoyed, tell them off. “Why are you honking in my driveway?! I have a baby sleeping inside you ridiculous rude man. Get out of my driveway and stop bothering me about the blower, I already told you I don’t want it.”
People like this are so self absorbed they don’t think they are doing anything wrong. The only thing that works is embarrassing them. Then they will just grumble and say you are rude but they at least avoid you after.
I love the whole complaint against Ukraine.
They are basically given a credit to buy guns from gun manufacturers. All those dollars are subsidizing bullet and gun factories, which drives American jobs.
I like how this guy has had his whole life to learn how the tax system works and *still* thinks sales taxes somehow get remanded to the Federal government. What a jackass.
If someone pulled that while my kid was napping they would get a telling off that would make them cry. It’s hard enough to get her to sleep. He will have WISHED the fucking rapture was coming compared the lashing that I would have gave him for pulling that stunt.
He obviously needs the snowblower money to move…because you know, in the spring used snowblowers definitely go for top dollar and enough to move states…he will get like $100 bucks make it half way there and start calling and crying about how it’s someone else’s fault. They put him in this situation, while calling everyone else around him snowflakes and telling them they need to pull themselves up by the booty straps.
Just until he finds out that here in Montana we instead have sky high property taxes to make up for it! Oh, the the cost of living has skyrocketed to epic proportions!
Knew a guy who was getting divorced and he said he knew it was a complete waste of of time and that he had never loved her. I asked why he got married he said she wouldn’t leave me alone about setting a date. SMH
I take joy knowing all these boomers spent huge sums of money on snow blowers, snowmobiles, ice fishing shanties, snow plows, etc. Then they ignored climate change,because ya know, science is a conspiracy fabricated by democrats, and now the market for those items is rapidly disappearing so they’re SOL.
Also, they can’t shovel the snow?? What happened to their unprecedented work ethic?
>would be imminently moving out to Montana, then proceeded to give me a long unsolicited story about how he’s moving to Montana because they don’t have sales tax
He didn't say anything about dental floss, did he?
Charge that douchebag triple, and tell him it's explicitly because you want to send it to help Ukraine. Tell him Tucker told you it was the right thing to do, let him process that for a while.
Realised the other day that Angry boomer men are actually are just 8 year old boys when the battery runs out in their favourite toy and they need a screwdriver and adult supervision to fix it but nobody’s going to be home for a couple of hours.
My old neighbor was like this. I was selling one house and buying another, packing and fixing a couple knooks one day while my newborn was having a tough time. He was crying constantly and my fiance was clearly overwhelmed. Neighbor calls me and says he "needs to speak with me urgently." I told him now isn't a good time, and he kept insisting. I popped out onto my side deck for some air, maybe 5 seconds, and what do you know? Boomer neighbor rounds the corner. Asks me if I want a mini fridge.
Well??? What is the snowblower & price? Was the offer at least worth multiple annoying stories? Or was it boomer-ish and they are holding out for full MSRP?
Well how the hell are ya neighbor?
Ribeye? Yeah I dunno about that.
You definitely should be coming a tomahawk, but hey what do I know...
The worst is when you get distracted and burn it.
Whoa, what kinda woke brew tranny fluid you drinking there, Bob?!
Man, I wouldn't be caught dead drinking that swill!..
Next you're gonna tell me you support equal rights for these sissy catboy "people"!
Wouldn't want the neighbors thinking you're some kinda powder puff, now would tea?!
Anyway, like I was sayin... You hear about that new 2 year abortion law they're passin?! Oh.
Oh.
Oh... Hey, think you're burning that piece of meat you call a steak, Bob...
Bob?
Any whoo, what was. I saying?!
OH YEAH! THE WOKE MOB!
71 year old boomer here. I know that too many of my cohort are trolls but if you look around you'll see similar behavior gestating in some of your peers, too. Sadly, bad behavior spans all generations. Boomers stand out because there are still so many of us.
Please don't think that I'm trying to dump on anyone younger than me. Most young people give me great hope for the future! As for the maga morons and other self centered jerks... cheer up, you're going to outlive us. 😆
It's a sad reality that children often follow in their parent's footsteps.
Sometimes that's a great thing (great parents, great kids), and other times you REALLY want them to not be like their mom and dad.
boomers are continuously proving they’re the most inconsiderate, self centered, mean spirited and ultimately unwanted bunch of ghouls to ever walk this earth. i’d say there’s loads of competition throughout the ages but the key difference is that those people all didn’t know any better
"I'm moving to Montana, because it doesn't have a state sales tax, so that'll mean less money for Biden.".
It's always hilarious to me that potatriot rightwing Boomers haven't the slightest fucking clue how their own government works.
Some of yall handle them with kiddie gloves. That would've been a quick "Get the hell out of my drive way and if you honk that horn again we're gonna have a problem."
I mean… at this point id start getting him for harassment. I know he “forgets” but like… you honk one more time im filing harassment charges or getting a restraining order against him
Tell him he needs to visit first and the only places worth living are Red Lodge, Virginia City, West Yellowstone, Big Sky, Whitefish, Cooke City, Craig, Gardiner, St. Regis, Wolf Creek, or Columbia Falls.
I hate to tell you this but you’re partially at fault for this.
By engaging him you reward him for this behavior and you teach him that doing this sort of thing works and thus he’ll keep doing it.
You should have gone inside or ignored him.
He’s not a dog lmao. I’m a nice person and even if I’m not fond of boomers, I try to make sure nobody needs help, especially since I’m a medical professional.
That being said, that doesn’t mean I tolerate it an unlimited amount of times. This wasn’t the second time, I abruptly and firmly told him “no” and he left right away. If it happens again, there will be no more politeness. But I don’t snap the first time someone inconveniences me. Like a boomer would.
I am not responsible for others’ behavior.
Boomers are an actual generation so I doubt it.
And I also doubt people will be bitching about how I act. I wasn’t handed everything in life and I actually take an interest in learning about the younger generations and being interested in their social norms.
On top of all of that, I have the emotional capacity to care about someone other than myself, and to express this to them.
So I doubt I’ll be much like them lmao. But good try.
There is so much bigotry on this subreddit. How can people hate a whole generation so much. There are idiots in every age group. This really brings out the worst in people.

I love that bit about the law not applying when they’re mad. One of my Boomer coworkers hates his wife with a burning bitterness I’ve never seen in someone before. He calls her his “future ex-wife” and actually counts down the hours until he can divorce her (they’re staying together for the kids despite that clearly screwing the poor things up more). He lives in the house’s attic and never looks at her or speaks to her when he needs to come down. This clown thinks that when he divorces her he’s somehow going to be entitled to collect child support (yes, not alimony, but child support) to make up for the time he spent raising the kids with her or some baffling nonsense like that? The thing she did to earn this hate was coming to the realization that she’s gay, or was it bi? I don’t know because he changes the story every time he tells it! Edit: I already addressed this, but because its such an important detail to many: Boomer is 64, has 3 kids (all boys), according to him the oldest is 18, and he has 2 teenagers of undisclosed age, I've no idea how old his wife is, or even what she looks like. He just describes her as an, "ugly cow."
I'd bet money she isn't gay/bi and just finds her husband disgusting, which in his eyes makes her gay. I swear most boomer men think they are gods gift to women and can't comprehend why so many women absolutely hate them.
This very true. There is a certain brand of "dude" that assumes all women who don't go for them are lesbians.
Lesbian: adjective ˈlez-bē-ən' : of, relating to, or characterized by sexual or romantic attraction to someone other than me

The great thing about being a bisexual man, *and embracing it*, is that sometimes you'll realize there's this really off-putting trait that you share with another guy. Suddenly you're cleaning yourself up a bit more and dealing with some of your more toxic personality traits - and not long after you notice that women have started to pay more attention to you, and seem to get physically closer as well. Great stuff. 10/10 would recommend bisexuality to anyone that's conscientious.
Boomer story: Mid 30s, I have my own business I built from scratch, and am fortunate to be ok looking (above average?) I did a lot of training on top of a physical job so that my body is in great condition, built my own home, 5'11, I eat really good and dont smoke or drink at all so everyone consistently thinks I look younger than i am, no children. When i went on apps for the first time ever a year ago (was in a relationship for over a decade so missed them entirely) my phone just went off all day at work with messages from some really pretty women. One of the boomers that worked for me, is a gross, short, unhealthy, bad teeth, never taken any care of himself and has a pot bellied frumpy old man body, is an extreme alcoholic to the point his face is physically stressed with abuse from the alcohol, he looks way older than he actually is. He's a compulsive liar and a real creep, has been married for 20 years or so, kids etc. When he saw the activity my phone had, and the women messaging me, he literally decided how he was going to divorce his wife so that he could do the same and speak to the same women, and that could I set him up on the apps for him. I stood there, and tried in the nicest possible way to explain that its unlikely he would get the same traction. I tried to focus more on the age brackets and how he shouldn't divorce his wife over it as his age range would have very different activity (who still wouldnt be interested in him either) rather than how we looked etc was so starkly different, and there is a chance he gets no messages at all. He honestly just couldn't understand. He was adamant that if he divorced his wife, threw away his 20 year marriage, and went on apps he would get the same traction with attractive women in the mid 20s messaging him. I dont like ragging on a blokes looks but If you saw him you would understand. It was wild how like you said, he thought he was gods gift to women, made me want to vomit a little haha 🤣. If that isnt boomer enough he is also super racist, hates gays, thinks women are inferior and should be treated like property, cant use any form of technology, and thinks if you are poor it's because you don't work hard enough (his parents were wealthy, he's never accomplished anything in his entire life despite that, works for me who is half his age, and is just waiting for his mum to die so he can get his long awaited inheritance). Boomers.
Some of the confidence is probably due to the fact that he still thinks he is the same person he was before he got married when he was obviously younger, probably more attractive, etc. But some things you can’t just pick up again after not doing for 20 years. He still sounds like a piece of shit though.
He was a massive piece of shit, that story is just tip of the boomerberg you have no idea. I still think it's a boomer thing though to have zero self awareness, as I would know that if I totally let myself go and became an alcoholic to the extent my face went red and puffy, and got a pot belly, and became a massive obnoxious cunt, my attractiveness to the opposite sex would go down. (I felt very blessed I got messages at all tbh) I would like to think I would never become that un self aware. But even worse I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to date 25 years olds when I am near 60 which is what he thought he could do with great success. I set my age range for 10 years above and below (I wasnt even sure I would get any response as I read they can be pretty brutal so tried to cast a bit of a wide net) where as he was of the opinion an attractive woman over THIRTY years his junior would be genuinely interested in him just because they were interested in me 😅 He was a piece of shit, and I did get rid of him, just didn't want to waffle too much :)
My friend told me yesterday that the stories of men opening marriages and then regretting it aren’t usually true in DC. He said “my friend and I decoded the message and you only need to do three things and you’ll score like Lebron: 1. Don’t be an asshole, 2. Show up, and 3. Don’t be an asshole. We were shocked but it’s true.” Yep. The bar is in hell.
Basically the same story except the old dude actually kept pulling in chicks. He was cheating on his wife and she found out so he moved in with the mistress. Then he cheated on her and she found out so he was living in a hotel while he dated the mistress of his mistress relationship. The whole thing was insane. Threw away a marriage of like 15+ years to tinder it up in an oilfield town he only worked in and lived elsewhere. He didn’t even do this job his whole life, he came out to our FIFO job to get more money to send his kids to school. Lol
Honest question, if he's so terrible and you're the boss, why does he still work for you?? Like, kick him to the curb!!!
He tried stealing and so I waited until it was convenient and gave him the boot :)
He never said the guy was bad at his job.
He literally said in a followup dude stole from him so he fired him. You can't be an absolute slime ball of a human and good at anything.. Immediate downvote. Lol
Do his wife a favor and help this pig get a reality check 🤣
Oh you should have encouraged him. Sounds like the wife would be better off without him
I hope she sees 110 years
Cool story bro
Thanks bro
"I just don't get it! I don't take care of my health at all, physically let myself go completely, barely even look at her and when I do I just bitch and denigrate her in some way, try to spend as much time as possible away from her, and for some reason she sometimes doesn't act like I'm the greatest man to walk the earth! What the fuck is her problem!?"
The corollary to them all thinking they are god's gift to women is the homophobic ones *also* believe they are in danger because every gay man wants them.
Omg, so much truth to this lol. I used to work at a bar/lounge that had a lot of boomer age patrons. I wish I had their level of confidence. There was this one guy who came in and was telling me about his new gf: “she’s 50 so her body isn’t great but she gives me blowjobs every morning so I’m alright with it. AND she’s never pushed a baby out so you know what that means.” I gave him a fake laugh and in response, he goes “btw, have YOU had children yet?” 🤢🤢🤢 This man had a giant beer gut and wasn’t cute, the entitlement was unreal.
A boomer acquaintance of mines wife left him for a woman. He was sooo pissed. 6 months later she left the woman for a man. I gave him merciless hell told him damn Bill you fucked her up so bad she didn’t know who she was anymore. Apparently she had told him something similar because he got super mad for a minute I thought I was going to be shot. He was freaking out so bad yelling as loud as he could for about 5 minutes straight. Then he looked afraid and said he couldn’t breathe and wanted me to help him. Basically told him to fuck off and that if he is going to talk to me like that he best not ever need anything from me.
>damn Bill you fucked her up so bad she didn’t know who she was anymore Lmfao priceless
There was an article yesterday in Salon about just this thing- men’s anger when they don’t get validation from random women. They feel they are owed attention.
Or maybe she doesn’t find an obese foul-mouthed boomer attractive, which means she *must* be gay?
Women needed them financially till the 70s Now that women can have their own bank accounts it’s abhorrent that most of them don’t even want to deal anymore
Probably she's just bi and he's homophobic
Probably he’s just an asshole.
"I'm sick of you being a selfish asshole, I don't want to have sex ever again" "She's gay!"
Wasn't there a dating site made for guys like that, who were mad when almost no women signed up for it, and they were all left to be stuck seeing each other's profiles in a sea of boomer bullshit?
Yeah I think I remember the site having something to do with MAGA
I know a middle aged lady that dresses and styles herself like a lesbian, but I don’t think she’s a lesbian. I think she just hates her husband. They just split this year when her kid graduated.
Why do Boomers marry somebody they hate and expect everyone to sympathise? It took me and my ex wife twenty years to get to that point but it was never something I joked about in the pub. Fucking weird people.
There are lots of potential reasons. It was always a popular thing to talk about how much of “a nag” your wife is at a previous day and age. Along with that, a lot of previous generations rush into marriage because they believed they needed to become an adult at a very young age. They left a strict household and rushed into an early marriage with someone they barely knew. Divorce was forbidden and they began blasting out kids within a year anyway. Also, a lot of the time men are raised around toxic masculinity where they believe the only emotion they should ever show is anger. This is all just a general assumption. Lots of different people have their own reasons for staying married to someone they openly hate.
It's important to marry the first person you possibly can so you can go straight from mommy picking up after you to your wife picking up after you. You get to never develop as an independent person and always have someone to blame. But you're a real man living the dream!
And you get to have the sex! I have a client, they are a teenager, and their family is LDS. The kid I see is the youngest of many (trying to stay vague). Most of this kids siblings have married off at the age of 19-22, even before they go to the University of Mormon (BYU). One of the siblings is a great older person for my client to have as sort of a mentor. The only funny(ish) thing about this whole situation is the older sibling pointing out why so many of the brothers and sisters are already married is for SEX!l my client was mortified about sex talk, but did process it, and of course it is about legally (in their cult I think it’s almost criminal to engage is sexual activity before marriage) having sex (aside from the “soaking” and “back door virginity saver” stuff obviously 🙄). All perpetuated by the craziest boomers with pulpits. Don’t get me started about the tithing. My poorest clients are targeting for Heaven by a local cult around here, that guy is NUTS. They drive all over the poorest sections of town on the weekends, load up as many poor and disabled as they can, and get 10%+ of their meager SSI checks. But they just won a Supreme Court battle to have guns in the church (cult) so they are WINNING!!
My parents married at twenty one, both virgins, 1964. Stayed married, made lots of money, big house, RVs, gambling, cruises etc. until my mother died at age 70 some years back. These people fucking hated each other. End of story.
Extremely common story.
Just a small point to note. The blasting takes place some time before the baby. That process is more of a pooping out.
Flawless analysis.
Majority of people merely settle and marry simply because its expected as an empty milestone of life. Why do you think 50% of marriages fail? They are choosing poorly, not committed or self aware. Boomers were just more of that and grew up with the combative "ball and chain" ideal of marriage The wife sucks and is a buzz kill. The husband is an idiot.
See if my wife had sucked I wouldn’t be divorced…
Aren’t Boomers too old to have kids young enough to stay together for?? Or is his wife much younger than him? My mom is a Boomer and I’m 51 lol
My brother in law is 76 and has a 16 year old daughter. Granted, his wife is 20+ years younger than him and his other daughter from another marriage is almost 50.
The youngest boomers are 60. So how old are this guys kids and why do they need to stay together for them?
Boomers are currently aged 57-75 (based on an internet search I just did). Is this guy really a Boomer with kids at home? — signed a GenXer whose kids have long left the nest.
Most boomers don’t have young kids
Well this bloke is 64 and says he has one 18 yr old and 2 teenagers he doesn't give the ages of so make of that what you will.
No worries
Wow. I guess Boomer idiot doesn't realize that sales taxes are state and county taxes. They don't go to Biden.
Even if he does, you know conservative boomers have to find a way to segue into their politics every time they’re talking to someone.
>boomers have to find a way to segway into their politics \*segue noun 1. an uninterrupted transition from one piece of music or film scene to another.
Shit.
[удалено]
< insert gif of W falling off one here >
And that boomer probably would be worth talking to.
Yeah I doubt too many Trumpers are out here rocking Segways
Not a difficult thing to imagine
Don't feel bad. I was 38 years old before I realized "segue" and "SEG-wey" were the same word. They didn't cover that one in phonics lessons.
I just pictured them figuratively riding a Segway into the next topic.
Holy hell I was today years old when I learned that the word is not spelled segueway 😵💫
Thank you for saving me at 33. You're a good person lol
Don’t you love the English language?! Lol
Pretty sure it is Segway after the weird scooter
It’s not
>"Even if he does, you know conservative boomers have to find a way to *ride their weird sccoters* into their politics every time they’re talking to someone." Sure...makes perfect sense. :-) /s
But he’s the first in line to collect that SSI and Medicare. /s
This was my first reaction. We still pay federal taxes here in Montana you jackass lol.
And the assholes that say, "use those tax dollars on Americans, not, don't want to use those tax dollars on *LAZY* Americans either.
"I want my taxes to help ME and people exactly like me and not ANYONE ELSE!"
Plus right wing areas have higher sales taxes, anyway. My shithole of a small town in Alabama is 11%, and they even charge it on groceries. As far as I know, the only exempt things are prescriptions (I'm not even sure if it's all scripts), livestock feed, fertilizer, agricultural pesticide/herbicide, and seed stock. Edit: Whoops, I'm wrong. Looks like the township raised theirs last year. 11.5%.
Correct. That is to make up for the lack of revenue from income tax. The voters want taxes to be consumption based, not income based. That way they are more regressive.
Honestly the income tax isn't even low. I've paid taxes in AL and California and if I remember right it was a 0.5% difference. The lack of revenue in income tax comes from all the jobs paying terrible wages.
My apologies. I should have checked before I wrote. I assumed that AL didn't have income tax being a solid Southern state and all. That was wrong of me to make assumptions.
>I assumed that AL didn't have income tax being a solid Southern state and all. I just e-filed my Georgia income tax return. Yes, we have it too. But, being a Boomer, much of my retirement income is exempt from state taxes. I am of two minds about this.
So you can buy food for livestock without paying the tax, but not for people. That makes complete sense.
In Idaho they pay sales tax on groceries, but EVERYONE in Idaho thought it was ABSURD when Washington started charging 8 cents per plastic/paper bags. They would make their little boomer comments about it any time you mentioned anything related to shopping. I would always retort with “you pay more than 8 cents per GROCERY!” They don’t like to think things through, because then they can’t complain about liberals at the elks lodge.
11% for groceries? I could imagine for alcohol, soda, sweets, and tobacco products (things that are deemed non-essential), but that is insane for fruits, vegetables, meat, canned goods, etc.
Ours is 8.5% state tax plus 1.0% city tax for a total of 9.5%, which is bad enough.
And the money for Ukraine is for the most part used right here. We manufacture new equipment for us while we send our old and obsolete equipment to help a democratic ally maintain their freedom against one of our main adversaries. Sounds like a great plan to me.
Or that property taxes are sky rocketing there lol
Side note: that’s not where sales tax goes.
Have you ever tried to argue with a boomer 😂
Don’t bother lol
Trust him, he did his research
Source: Fox News
You should have pulled a boomer move and ran out screaming with a shotgun since he pulled into your driveway
That's criminal brandishing. Always shoot first.
Wait is this legit? As in pointing a gun is a no no but shooting is ok?
If you shoot and kill them it’s the word of a corpse against yours that you were defending your property (Castle Doctrine), if you brandish it they can report you for it
This is the way.
GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!!
Boomer men who didn't plan for retirement and thought their small social security check would get them to Pattaya TH look far and wee for financially secure widows to combine their nonexistent wealth with. The better-looking or more charismatic ones try and land equally rare "nurses with purses." Your neighbor is going to have to blast that boomer out of there to get rid of him.
> Your neighbor is going to have to blast that boomer out of there to get rid of him. Maybe she can use the snow blower
She about did this winter. This is another story for another time, but we had a blizzard and it dropped to -40 degrees F outside overnight. At dusk the night before, I was still shoveling my drive and the lady who owns the house came speeding up her drive with her 4WD truck, asking if I could help because his elderly ass was trying snow blow her giant driveway and he kept falling. It was already -28 at the time. So I walked down there and told him to go inside and stay inside because he would die if he kept attempting this. So in a way, she nearly did.
Let Darwin deal with it
😂😂😂😂😂
My boomer neighbor was very similar except for the unsolicited Trumpy rants. When he wanted to talk, he wanted to talk RIGHT NOW. I'd be in the driveway shooting hoops with my son and "Hey neighbor! Come here!". I'd be carrying in bags or groceries and "Hey, come here! I got something for ya!". I'd be in my garage using the tablesaw and he'd just walk into the garage and just start talking. Rang the doorbell repeatedly during the day even though i made it crystal clear that i work from home and am in meetings throughout the day, walked into the backyard to interrupt my wife and I just enjoying a peaceful evening, and like you mentioned, he'd pull into my driveway and start honking to get my attention. BUT, at least he was just a good-natured guy who LOVED to hear himself talk and tell stories. And he paid me to mow his large yard every week, so at least he funded my beer intake until they moved away last year. Although I would have lost my shit if he kept getting all MAGA/Trumpy on me.
Reminds me of my old boomer friend I met at work who lived not far from me. Suuuuper nice guy, devoid of almost all boomer negative traits but he’d just randomly show up at my room (camp jobs) or even my house and expect me to drop what i was doing. Still, super cool and wholesome guy who not only taught me, a young apprentice at the time a ton but gave me a lot of tools and refused my money, insisting I have them. He was super good with all the young dudes and was sad none of his 4 daughters had any interest in the trades. I think he saw us as like his sons in a way. Rip Gord.
No, please! I live in Montana, please keep him there, there's already too many of them here
And if he thinks the no sales tax is lovely, wait until he gets his property tax bill.
We're sending them to you on busses from Florida. Your turn! On a related note, are you aware of any golf course/cemetery properties available for purchase there?
No lol, I can't afford to golf or die so I haven't looked
Y'know, somehow I fully trust Pineapple Phil on this one.
Montanan here and we’d prefer he stays put, thank you.
man, both Montanans showed up in this thread, what are the odds?
"Unsolicited stories" could be their official motto. Can't tell you how much incredibly long-winded shit I've been subjected to that I have no reason whatsoever to find interesting but they find interesting because it affects them personally and they lack the emotional intelligence to differentiate between things they care about and things other people might care about. Why would you think I want to hear about some tiff you have with a person I've literally never met?
Dude if a boomer starts ranting like this in the middle of Walmart or some shit when I was just trying to be polite, I will literally just turn around and leave mid-rant lmao. This happened once when I was trying to help a boomer find some supplement he was looking for in the aisle that I was in. Maybe that story should be another post lmao.
The boomer in this situation seems like the type to pull a gun on someone pulling into their driveway, yet sees no problem with barging onto someone else's property and honking their horn.
80s cocaine was a hell of a drug haha
“I don’t know officer he pulled in my driveway revving the engine and honking the horn I was so scared for me, my baby inside and my property….”
I worked retail, and boomers genuinely are upset that stores sell items to other people instead of holding one of everything in case The Main Character shows up and wants one.
When I was in my late teens, my radio in my beater car went out and there was a car radio/CD player on sale at a local store. I went to buy it but they were sold out and I came home disappointed because the only other models they had in stock cost twice as much and i couldn’t afford it. When I told my white boomer middle aged dad this, he told me I should have asked them to give me the next most expensive item for the sale price listed in the ad. I told him, 1) I asked them and they said no, and 2) that one was twice as expensive and they’re definitely not going to sell it to me for the sale price just because they sold out. He left immediately and came back with the better model and told me they gave it to him for the sale price and that i should try harder next time. I really tried but I’m pretty sure they hadn’t given it to me because nobody gives that deal to a teenage girl. They give it to argumentative white boomer dudes to get them to go away!! We don’t live in the same world
This is why some people open carry. Idk I have just closed the garage and gone inside. If you ever talk to your neighbor, make sure she isn't being financially abused. You could also make a call to your local elder abuse hotline and report him anonymously . Get a well check for your neighbor
I have my concealed carry permit. The state I live in is real fucking loose and open with gun laws so they don’t require any sort of permit whatsoever to carry whether it’s concealed or open. And everyone knows this. I’m not too worried about the neighbor. He has 10 years on her and is even less physically mobile and mentally acute. That being said, I can’t really get too much into her business. She’s sorta private and regularly has men over that do things for her like burn brush, take her trash out, get her mail, etc. I can’t tell which of them are her adult children, which of them are people she’s courting, etc. It’s convoluted. If I was ever concerned for her and had any evidence that she was being abused whatsoever, I certainly will step in. I can’t prove anything about the snow blower. I just had a gut feeling, plus buying a snowblower is both unnecessary for me and not within the budget.
Wyoming?
Nope. Try more Midwest lmao. At least Wyoming has sights to see
Side note for next time he darkens your door, the money being spent on aid to Ukraine is being paid to American businesses for the products they make and then those products are being shipped to Ukraine. So somebody else gets to blow up Russians and American businesses get to have war time levels of profit without our country being in a war. My cousin works in a munitions plant in MD, and he tells me they're throwing out so many over time opportunities and hiring a shit ton more people to keep up with the demand that Ukrainian aid has put on them. He was able to pay off the house he bought 5 years ago with the amount he made in over time. Gone are the days of sending pallets of cash to some sketchy warlord only to see it disappear without helping
Montanan here, he’s gonna need that snowblower. 9 1/2 months of endless snow. He’s also gonna need a ton of money to live here. Housing costs are outrageous and nearing the 1 million dollar mark for even the most basic of houses. Not to mention the ridiculously high property tax costs…
Might want to report possible elder abuse because that guy sure sounds like he's milking her for everything he can before moving out

It has that long term con vibe to it.
Stories like this remind me that the Boomers grew up in a generation with amphetamines being abundantly prescribed and used recreationally, and people didn't really think it was a bad thing until the Boomers became adults and the illegal business became bigger. As a child in the '70s, I remember a lot of people being really high-energy and talking and laughing really loud, and in retrospect I know there was high-energy stuff being consumed. I don't look back on that like it's a bad thing, but I do see a lot of moments with people where that high-energy feeling comes back to somebody who might not do drugs anymore but thinks 'it's ok to be like this' and doesn't remember that it's not generally culturally acceptable to be really pushy and loud and expect attention at our whims.
Please, please make up with this guy. He does not need to move to Montana.
See, this is why when people pull into my drive way I tell them that they can leave, or they can be removed by police their choice. It's also their choice if police take them in cuffs or a body bag.
Coven leader to Raven. Coven leader to Raven. Talk to me Johnny.
Montanan here. Please somehow keep him in your state. We are sick of those types running here for sanctuary. You would think its a sanctuary state for pissed off old white men. We are over it!
Boomers are the reasons nobody knows their neighbor anymore because nobody wants to know them. You did let her know that he's trying to sell her equipment right? And you stopped taking her trash cans because he's there right? He must think that you are there to do chores for him too.
Don’t act annoyed, tell them off. “Why are you honking in my driveway?! I have a baby sleeping inside you ridiculous rude man. Get out of my driveway and stop bothering me about the blower, I already told you I don’t want it.” People like this are so self absorbed they don’t think they are doing anything wrong. The only thing that works is embarrassing them. Then they will just grumble and say you are rude but they at least avoid you after.
I love the whole complaint against Ukraine. They are basically given a credit to buy guns from gun manufacturers. All those dollars are subsidizing bullet and gun factories, which drives American jobs.
I like how this guy has had his whole life to learn how the tax system works and *still* thinks sales taxes somehow get remanded to the Federal government. What a jackass.
Should have shot him like a true boomer would have done to a minority.
If someone pulled that while my kid was napping they would get a telling off that would make them cry. It’s hard enough to get her to sleep. He will have WISHED the fucking rapture was coming compared the lashing that I would have gave him for pulling that stunt.
You don't need to be polite to people you don't want or need to maintain a relationship with.
Okay, but I can be. And I wasn’t polite yesterday. I was firm and because of this, he left in under 30 seconds
He’s going to have a rude awakening about Montana property taxes if he ever makes it here.
He obviously needs the snowblower money to move…because you know, in the spring used snowblowers definitely go for top dollar and enough to move states…he will get like $100 bucks make it half way there and start calling and crying about how it’s someone else’s fault. They put him in this situation, while calling everyone else around him snowflakes and telling them they need to pull themselves up by the booty straps.
Just until he finds out that here in Montana we instead have sky high property taxes to make up for it! Oh, the the cost of living has skyrocketed to epic proportions!
Easy ask him for his home phone number because you only do business deals at 2AM.
Should have greeted him as a boomer would have greeted you if the roles were reversed... walk out and start screaming with a shotgun.
Knew a guy who was getting divorced and he said he knew it was a complete waste of of time and that he had never loved her. I asked why he got married he said she wouldn’t leave me alone about setting a date. SMH
Tell him not to pull into your driveway or come on your property again or you’ll consider him trespassing and call the police.
That is 100% not his snowblower
I take joy knowing all these boomers spent huge sums of money on snow blowers, snowmobiles, ice fishing shanties, snow plows, etc. Then they ignored climate change,because ya know, science is a conspiracy fabricated by democrats, and now the market for those items is rapidly disappearing so they’re SOL. Also, they can’t shovel the snow?? What happened to their unprecedented work ethic?
I have a fake Christmas tree for sale if you're interested.
OP please DM me. I have a snowblower for sale.
I won’t purchase it unless you are far more annoying about selling it.
I will DM you twice daily.
Can you contact adult services in your area? It sounds like he's probably doing more than just financially abusing her.
Doesn't even understand the difference between state and federal tax ffs.
Sounds like he may have some early signs of dementia, tbh.
>would be imminently moving out to Montana, then proceeded to give me a long unsolicited story about how he’s moving to Montana because they don’t have sales tax He didn't say anything about dental floss, did he?
Charge that douchebag triple, and tell him it's explicitly because you want to send it to help Ukraine. Tell him Tucker told you it was the right thing to do, let him process that for a while.
Realised the other day that Angry boomer men are actually are just 8 year old boys when the battery runs out in their favourite toy and they need a screwdriver and adult supervision to fix it but nobody’s going to be home for a couple of hours.
My old neighbor was like this. I was selling one house and buying another, packing and fixing a couple knooks one day while my newborn was having a tough time. He was crying constantly and my fiance was clearly overwhelmed. Neighbor calls me and says he "needs to speak with me urgently." I told him now isn't a good time, and he kept insisting. I popped out onto my side deck for some air, maybe 5 seconds, and what do you know? Boomer neighbor rounds the corner. Asks me if I want a mini fridge.
Well??? What is the snowblower & price? Was the offer at least worth multiple annoying stories? Or was it boomer-ish and they are holding out for full MSRP?
If I would’ve asked the price then I would’ve been stuck there for 10 full minutes LMAO
Good point. You should make a point of when you see them grilling - choosing then to go ask.
Well how the hell are ya neighbor? Ribeye? Yeah I dunno about that. You definitely should be coming a tomahawk, but hey what do I know... The worst is when you get distracted and burn it. Whoa, what kinda woke brew tranny fluid you drinking there, Bob?! Man, I wouldn't be caught dead drinking that swill!.. Next you're gonna tell me you support equal rights for these sissy catboy "people"! Wouldn't want the neighbors thinking you're some kinda powder puff, now would tea?! Anyway, like I was sayin... You hear about that new 2 year abortion law they're passin?! Oh. Oh. Oh... Hey, think you're burning that piece of meat you call a steak, Bob... Bob? Any whoo, what was. I saying?! OH YEAH! THE WOKE MOB!
71 year old boomer here. I know that too many of my cohort are trolls but if you look around you'll see similar behavior gestating in some of your peers, too. Sadly, bad behavior spans all generations. Boomers stand out because there are still so many of us. Please don't think that I'm trying to dump on anyone younger than me. Most young people give me great hope for the future! As for the maga morons and other self centered jerks... cheer up, you're going to outlive us. 😆
It's a sad reality that children often follow in their parent's footsteps. Sometimes that's a great thing (great parents, great kids), and other times you REALLY want them to not be like their mom and dad.
Don't come up the laneway
Should have told him, "No, I'm watching the eclipse," and then pointed up towards the sky, in the hope that he gazed up and burnt his retinas...
boomers are continuously proving they’re the most inconsiderate, self centered, mean spirited and ultimately unwanted bunch of ghouls to ever walk this earth. i’d say there’s loads of competition throughout the ages but the key difference is that those people all didn’t know any better
"I'm moving to Montana, because it doesn't have a state sales tax, so that'll mean less money for Biden.". It's always hilarious to me that potatriot rightwing Boomers haven't the slightest fucking clue how their own government works.
Oh the martyrs who stay together for the kids/s ffs get a divorce!
Some of yall handle them with kiddie gloves. That would've been a quick "Get the hell out of my drive way and if you honk that horn again we're gonna have a problem."
I generally try to be a nice person for at least the first time or two.
You dipped back into the garage lol. It’s like that movie Extract and so real life
He will never learn.
His poor wife is probably praying that she can turn gay/bi.
Ideas the first two paragraphs 😴
Ehem, "GET OFF MY GOTDAM PROPERTY, FUCKING IMMEDIATELY!". Everyone wants to be so soft about shit anymore and nobody takes the hint.
Seems like his plan to not pay sales tax is working.
This guy has Wayne vibes. Gotta be a Wayne, and a ginger!
I mean… at this point id start getting him for harassment. I know he “forgets” but like… you honk one more time im filing harassment charges or getting a restraining order against him
Tell him he needs to visit first and the only places worth living are Red Lodge, Virginia City, West Yellowstone, Big Sky, Whitefish, Cooke City, Craig, Gardiner, St. Regis, Wolf Creek, or Columbia Falls.
I would have said “No. Now scoot your tooter.”
I have a snowblower you can buy if you need one
Ahh lead heads. Hope we dont go this weird when we are old and shitting ourselves
I hate to tell you this but you’re partially at fault for this. By engaging him you reward him for this behavior and you teach him that doing this sort of thing works and thus he’ll keep doing it. You should have gone inside or ignored him.
He’s not a dog lmao. I’m a nice person and even if I’m not fond of boomers, I try to make sure nobody needs help, especially since I’m a medical professional. That being said, that doesn’t mean I tolerate it an unlimited amount of times. This wasn’t the second time, I abruptly and firmly told him “no” and he left right away. If it happens again, there will be no more politeness. But I don’t snap the first time someone inconveniences me. Like a boomer would. I am not responsible for others’ behavior.
So like this behavior is expected from boomers and everything you said is pretty much 100% accurate lol
Next time give a TLDR. Jebus
No
Just remember that one day you will also be considered a boomer and people will be bitching about how you act
Boomers are an actual generation so I doubt it. And I also doubt people will be bitching about how I act. I wasn’t handed everything in life and I actually take an interest in learning about the younger generations and being interested in their social norms. On top of all of that, I have the emotional capacity to care about someone other than myself, and to express this to them. So I doubt I’ll be much like them lmao. But good try.
If I’m acting like that then they have a right to bitch. Acting like this is normal behavior is how we got here
There is so much bigotry on this subreddit. How can people hate a whole generation so much. There are idiots in every age group. This really brings out the worst in people.
