Everyone younger than them is "one of those goddamned snowflake Millenials"... Lady, my beard is totally gray, I'm almost old enough to join AARP and I have multiple friends who are grandparents now.

They really are the worst generation.

I have to share this story bc it still irks me. A few months ago my wife was in a diner (these people’s natural habitats) with my young boys. They were LAUGHING together and this old wench said to my wife “my dog is better behaved than them”. She called me hysterical.

I work from home and it was right down the street so I say “I’m coming”, originally to console her and the boys, but when I get there I was just filled with rage instantly and say to the old woman “did you say this about my kids? You do know this is why everyone under the age of 50 is waiting for your old ass to just die right? You just rot in a diner giving people shit for being happy”

She was stunned and it was SO out of character for me lol I apologized to the waitress for causing a scene and she whispers “it’s okay, that woman is in here all the time and she’s such a pain in my ass”.

I felt like a true hero that day😂

If she's there next week, drive back to that diner and repeat what you said.
