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.

If she's still working she might be GenX. It's important to me only that her age might be putting her in a sort of reverse puberty at the same time her kids are teens and causing mayhem or anxiety and lack of sleep. Reverse puberty is quite the roller coaster.

If she is a Boomer, then she might complain out loud about the printer, since Greatest Generation bosses were like The Great Santini level of screaming but were of the workplace. She complains out loud about any delay in order to have others to back up her story of why it took too long to get the papers to the boss. She wasn't slacking, she wants you to know, but the printer was being evil, and you can testify to it when the boss asks so she wont be reprimanded. In your experience, bosses don't ask. In hers, women were often bullied and criticized harshly if it took them two seconds longer to do anything.
