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

Something about the wrinkles coming out........:D

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.

:mad: :rolleyes:

Said you and every generation of aging males since the dawn of time. Lay off the Fox News bruh, it’ll rot your brain

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.

Oh my, bruh.....your post is so entertaining!

(No one clue him in, please)

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.

Amen. Id venture a guess that tis goes back to the dawn of consciousness. Older crowd=dissapionted in next generation.
Next generation upset with said choices of older crowd.

Moral of the story is: nobody will ever be happy with the actions of anyone else. So take responsibility for yourself and your own actions and do the best you can

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

- Attributed to Socrates (469-399 BCE)


Reminds me of the CA who expected me to stand whenever he entered the flight deck...even when he was coming back from the lav! (I jest, of course.)

Amen!

Lighten up, Francis. Evidently your parents raised you poorly. Allow me to instruct you as they should have. First, there is no societal norm regarding toe tapping at coffee shops. Doesn't exist. Second, ocd is a personal problem. It's all your own to deal with. Don't expect others to help you with that. Third, I wasn't the one tapping my toes. You shouldn't assume things. It's telling that the other two people at the table with me and the millenial exchanged glances and half smiles at his angry outburst. Finally, no angry outbursts. How about saying, "excuse me, but I'm suffering from ocd and have no self control so I can't choose to not let a little quiet toe tapping not bother me and I will instead please ask you change your behavior to be in line with what I find acceptable." Even if ridiculous and selfish beyond belief, requests of others are always met with more success when politely delivered.

I forgot to mention that if noise, rythmic or otherwise, bothers you then a coffee shop is a bad place to study. Thus endeth the lesson.

Yikes! Dad of the year here.

“I’m sorry sir, I am unable to stop my toetapping. I have obsessive compulsive disorder. It’s on the official list of ADA disabilities.. Why are you trying to discriminate against me because of a medical condition.”

Also I don’t think LNL could ever be dad of the year. No fence LNL. 😄

For sure! ;)

(this just gets funnier and funnier!)

I’m thinking “dad” probably isn’t the correct way to address “her”, but I can’t say with certainty.

I thought "he" was a "she" but hey babe, maybe she went for a walk on the wild side.:)

Hmm, though maybe valid, doesn’t change the premise in any way shape or form, but hey, if that’s your life raft, then have at it

Yup. It's the same with every new generation.
This generation has tons of problems, just like every other one. Watching hours of news coverage about how all these "liberal colleges" are an epidemic on our society is pointless.

I'm the victim of an elder attack, retreating now...... to a safe space.

The trick is to hold on until you outlive all of the elders. ;)

You sound triggered.

Tapping your toes in public is rude it's not different than public whistler's. He was being nice I would have been more in your face..

So you're aggressive and dumb. Thanks for letting us all know.

...unless you are very VERY good!

That would be right before Vagabond slapped you and sent you home to your momma :-)

"thevagabond" is not "Vagabond."

Are you sure this wasn't in a MSP bathroom?

Sadly I’m old enough to get that reference.

Poor guy had a wide stance is all! Haha

I remember the MSP toe tapper also. :eek:

Now I better understand the over the top responses by some folks here regarding toe tapping. Must have struck an involuntary nerve. :D

Ooh look...

LOLZ!! Millennial thinking THEY invented the internet.

Speak up, sonny, we old farts can't hear as good as we used to!

Oh, and someday sooner than you can imagine, you'll be an "old people" too!

:D

The guy on three mile final last night who asked tower to have us turn off our nose taxi light while we were taxiing up the parallel.

Are you kidding me? Exactly NO millennial thinks that. We've had the internet since elementary school or before.:rolleyes:

I just miss the good ol days when the internet was a fad for nerds and youngins and the old farts complaining about the young bucks was confined to the front porch.
