The difference:

An old bull and a young bull were standing on a hilltop overlooking their herd. The youngster, pawing and snorting, said "Whoa, lookit all them cows! Let's run down there real fast and get us one of them!"

The old bull looked over at him and said "Go ahead, run down there real fast and get you one. I'll walk down there nice and slow and get the rest of them."

It's funny how young people mistake their ignorance for wisdom. Youth is wasted on the young.

From the generation that brought you the 2008 financial crisis, fetishization of the military industrial complex, and reinvented the term fiscal irresponsibility, comes this hot take:

Millennials are bad and science is fake


I guess if you can't argue with them, attack them for when they were born

Millenials. . . I was just at a coffee shop doing some AQP homework when a millenial loudly blurted out, "All right, who's the toe tapper?" Evidently his ocd and latch key upbringing and subsequent lack of manners prevents him from silencing his pie hole and understanding and accepting that in public places people can tap their toes. While not aviation related he merits tool of the day consideration.

Blame the idiot "parents," who were everything else, BUT PARENTS. They indulged their offspring and taught them the world revolved around them. They thought being friends with their children was the right way to go. It's crystal clear it wasn't and now society is paying for it. UGH.

Ahh, angry that you can't tap your toe wherever you want even if it inconveniences people who prefer studying without annoying repetitive noises. Sounds like you think you're entitled to make whatever noises you wish, regardless of others preferences.


And you couldn't stop tapping even though it annoyed people around you?? Sounds a tad OCD to have to continually repeat the same action, no??

Sounds like you just annoy people around you and are too thick to pick up on societal norms and cues. Blaming your flaws on a whole generation is much easier to face, though.

If you'd look in the mirror, you'd see you posses all the traits you claim all millennials have.

He's got a point. Sure, there are irritating, entitled Millennials. There are also irritating, entitled Boomers, Gen Xers, and so forth.

Ranting about generational differences is utterly pointless. And the generalizations are just silly and largely irrelevant. For every spiky-haired, backpack-wearing, headphone-rocking Millennial regional FO complaining about having to wait a year to upgrade, I'll give you one grotesquely overweight 64 y/o mainline CA complaining about his lack of choice in crew meals and his poverty level wage...to a van driver. Whom he then refuses to tip.

Who's the entitled one?

Absolute truth here.

The millineals don't have the market anywhere near cornered when it comes to being snowflakes.

Every generation has its group of individuals who complain about the entitlement/lack of responsibility of the next up and coming generation.
