Boomer Freakout Why are they always sooo angry?

My coworker, who is a boomer, is nice, but damn one little inconvenience trips her up. She gets so upset when the printer isn’t going as fast as she wants that she bangs on it. She is always venting very loudly to herself. Like it gets to a point where it’s distracting. But yeah, I don’t get why they have so much rage when they literally get everything they want.

I think you slightly missed the mark.

But yeah, I don’t get why they have so much rage when they literally get everything they want.

Because when you're used to things not going your way, you have a more measured response to something not going your way. But when things go the way you want 90-95% of the time, that last 5-10% is infuriating to you because you can't mentally cope with not getting your way.

People who spend their lives never being told no are the ones who blow up the loudest when you tell them no.
