a dude at night with sunglasses on his head goes in a very select category of individual. It's the category of people I almost immediately deem not worthy of taking seriously. Other entrants include people that say "sheeple" and those rag on millennials.

Sunglasses on back of head, like you have eyes in back of your head, during the sunny day is most awkward.

If they're hanging down on my Croakies after sunset does that count the same as on the head? :D

It's apc. Whining is all these people do.

I flew with a captain that used to wear his bluetooth device for his phone in his ear all the time. The one with the blinking blue light. Drove me absolutely nuts. Especially at night. Not sure who he thought was calling when we were at 35,000 feet in cruise, but it looked cool and let others know he was cool i guess.

Have a friend that flew sports teams. He asked a NBA player why he was wearing sun glasses when he got on the airplane at night. The player responded, "When you're cool, you got to be cool 24hrs a day!":D

Can the sunglasses be any worse than a backpack worn over both shoulders like a 3 year old headed to his first day at pre-school? I think not

How about a guy with a baseball cap on backwards, with sunglasses on backwards ... at night.

Airport bar last night.

That right there is priceless! Well done.

Was it a middle-aged Canadian? Because if Rob Halford can fly people so can Corey Hart.

Don't knock it til you try it

What about the a-holes who workout with sunglasses on at the gym?

Are they also wearing a Bane mask?

I wear the bane mask, earbuds and sunglasses on long walks through the airport. When i get thirsty i go into my bookbag and get smoothing cool to drink.

Rookie. I wear a camel bak with my Army nametape/rank on it still. No need to reach for anything.

Roller bags are too expensive so I just use my trusty seabag.

if it's good enough for Walmart it's good enough for me... Plastic bag master race reporting in.

True and sad ex-military story... The nice conservative gym bag I had been using in the USAF for 15 years became suddenly against regulations when the geniuses in senior command decided to make things suck more, and one of the stupid rules was that gym bags used on base had to be only one color. Mine was a nice deep green and dark blue, looked fine, not an eyesore or "unprofessional", until suddenly it was.

However, they put no restrictions on shopping bags. So I raided my wife's closet and found a few of the brightest shiny reusable shopping bags, and started taking those to the gym instead. Bright pink, huge shiny chrome silver stripes, big flowers, etc etc.

Because I never forgot a rule taught to me as a young kid brand new to a flying squadron... Treat every stupid time-wasting non-operational regulation as a tactical exercise to defeat/circumvent, and consider the morons who write them as your deadly enemies. It's good practice developing habitual thought patterns to defeat the rules your real enemies are using, and it sticks it right in the eye of anyone making the warfighter's job harder with unnecessary rules and regulations.

So. Macy's bag to the USAF gym, in the name of combat effectiveness :)

Yea yea cool story bro, whatever. Haters gonna hate :)

Don't let those pesky facts get in the way of making a blanket statement about an entire generation.

[MENTION=64653]flensr[/MENTION], that is actually a cool story :)
Had me laughing

And suddenly I am getting pop-ups for sunglasses and prescription glasses:eek:

Yep.

Economic forecasts clearly show that those guys will have way more money for travel.

Given the fact that 98.9% of them will return to live in Mommy’s basement after earning that tough art history degree.

If you had read the article, Millennials now travel more on business trips than their GenX and Baby Boomer counterparts. That's where the money is. Millennials are also more likely to buy add-ons like wifi. Again, the claim that "they don't have any money to dictate market forces" is without any facts.

And don't forget that any millennial majoring in basket weaving in college and then moving in their parent's house is a failure of parenting by their Boomer parents.

Baby Boomers are pretty much the most selfish generation in the history of planet earth. Thanks for the 20 trillion dollars in debt. Thanks for ruining Social Security. Thanks for never winning a war. Thanks for having all those divorces over the years...have you seen the movie "Four Christmases"? Thanks for giving up on religion, now we are bunch
of immoral bastards. Thanks for deciding you would rather jerk around and have fun instead of raising children. And the few kids you decided to have are a bunch of over dramatic crybaby children, oh wait, never mind...my bad.

Of course the Millenials will gradually take power from the old conservative geezers, only to find that they have become conservative geezers themselves. Don’t think that will happen? Neither did the Hippies. :D

Boomers do have a lot of faults, but most I know actually worked hard once they grew up and made pretty good lives for their families.

And I don’t think I have ever heard of one needing a ‘safe space’ to retreat to when they feel ‘triggered.’

Maybe millennials will impress us eventually. Once they get through traveling on mommy’s money.... And perhaps tire of Pokémon Go

This thread is officially off the rails but lets keep it going

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox...-congress-debt

A guy may work hard and make 100k a year but if he spends 200k a year, marries and divorces multiple times, litters, stops going to church, treats other races like crap, and only worries only about himself then he, not the indoors sunglasses guy, is the real douche. As far as generations go the baby boomers are the ultimate douches.

I need to stop the updates to this thread from hell

Speaking of off the rails...sheesh! Why get all worked up over something as trivial as this? You must have something more important in life to focus your worries on, right?

Problem is everyone stereotypes mellennials as 18-25 that has no job and lives with their parents. Fact is that there are many millennials that are 35 with great jobs and raising responsible good families. Yet for some reason millennial keeps being used as a derogatory term.

There are people in their early 20s just going to college and looking for jobs???? Say it ain't so! I agree, there are many early to mid-30 Millennials that are making, saving and spending more than the generations that came before.

Im a boomer and would pretty much agree with your pov.

One of my boomer brothers calld me po'd his kid 'respected' me more than him.....i told my brother....'your kid calls you by your first name. You raised him as ur buddy.what do you expect?'

Ah yes, let’s bring religion into things.

A good thing about milleials:

I know a lot of them who are actually pretty smart about debt.

Most boomers never saw debt they didn’t love, and spent much of their lives trying to pay it off. I know a few millennials who are being very smart about living with less debt.

I used to amuse myself ragging on the younger generation raised on Xbox etc.

And then members of this same generation were pulled out of their so-called soft material aimless lives and formed cohesive fighting units that cleared house after house in places like Fallujah Iraq that were infested with bipolar, psychotic sun god worshipping death cult rats unlike any the US Military has seen since Iwo Jima.

There are plenty of worthless man-bun commies in coffee houses. There are also a bunch of serious patriots with balls.

My salute to them.

Clearing houses in Fallujah shouldn't be the indication of ones worth in society. There are plenty of business leaders, entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers, pilots, and yes soldiers that come from the millennial generation.

Interesting fact: some of those man-bun wearing commies probably kicked down doors in Iraq

Just messing around. This thread is pretty darn comical. I really could care less.

Sorry Spenser.
You're not getting any credit with your participation trophies and your potential partnership with the Rabinowitz, Steinberg and Heinmann ambulance chasing law office.

I always wear my sunglasses at night, because when you are as cool as I am, the sun shines on you 24 hours a day....

I served my country, thanks. I also think anyone who only values people who were in the military is a narrow-minded simpleton.

"Time for some that cool pilot ****, Mav"
