I'm probably being a hypersensitive dick because some boomers I actually liked have either died recently or are about to die.

No worries brother, the good ones are still good.
I've met boomers who do have an interest in the younger generations and want to pass on what they know. However the bad ones are the worst, and it's hard not to have a little bit of anger at all of them.

I have a short anecdote about boomers and how they continue to steal from the young. For reference I am gen Z.

I like to go to estate sales to look for cheap silver and old coins. I like to collect it as a long term investment.

At every single estate sale I got to there are hordes of boomers with eBay shops. They will buy up anything priced even slightly below retail and try to flip it for small margins. They do this because they have all the time in the world. If the estate sale opens at 7, boomers are parked around the block at 5 in the morning, why? Because they don't have jobs, and have a lifetime of easy capital to throw around.

The ones that aren't resellers are either lonely and just want social interaction because their children left them, or they are super consumers trying to fill that wallet shaped hole in their hearts.

That by itself is bad, but the worst part is the people who work the estate sales. They are also boomers. Boomers with nothing to do but try to resell old junk at retail prices. It doesn't matter if it's a private seller or a company. It's boomers all the way up and down the food chain.

God forbid these people pass things on or find contentment in what they already have, more, more, more, no matter the consequence.

I lost my job of nearly a decade yesterday, and I couldn't be happier about it.

Why?

Without PL'ing too hard, it's because now I no longer have to spend all day concealing my contempt for stupid, rude, entitled, avaricious old mummies. The sheer greed I saw firsthand disgusted me.

I coulen't help but think, "why are you this petty about money? It'll be time for your dirtnap soon, and you can't take it with you. Have some fucking perspective."

One of the worst types of boomer is the type to hang around used bookstores and scoop up boxes of stuff. Half the time they've got a scanner app opened up.

I just work through the stuff fast to pick stuff up because they can't move fast. I saw one get upset when I scooped a vintage Dune hardcover out of a goodwill.

One time a friend of mine argued with a boomer lady who was trying to use expired coupons and she got so red in the face she had a heart attack and FUCKING DIED right there.

Man, do I wish I had seen that. I too might have been taken away in an ambulance, having suffered an asthma attack from laughing too hard.
 
I noticed my boomer mom has done a 180 on grandchildren. When I was kid, she talked about the things I can pass down onto my kids and how she would spoil them. When I was in high school and college, she was thankful I "didn't do something stupid like get a girl pregnant." Now, not long after wishing me a happy birthday last month, she brought up in a conversation how not having grandkids is fine with her.

She spends most her retirement golfing or buying stuff on Temu.

My mom's ability to feel genuine human emotion is ruined by 50 years of antidepressant use, but she had the gall to tell my sister, "I don't really enjoy the time I spend with your son." Boomers are fucking brain-broken.
 
If social security was invested in any reasonable way a pension should it would be fully funded and be able to provide a reasonable retirement income. Instead we said fuck that, we're going to invest any excess in the most retarded way possible because fuck future generations they can be the ones to go bankrupt. Every retarded socialist country from Canada to Belgium was able to understand placing longterm surpluses in their social pension fund would kill it but somehow the capitalist US has to put it in t-notes which are one step better than stuffing it under the mattress over the long-term.

The me generation is going to get theirs or have all of us die trying.
 
New Boomer Trend: self-diagnosed autism. This excuses all of their behaviour - they're not simply spoilt narcissists, no, no, they are On The Spectrum and thus are the real victims.

It's not that they want to take it with them, as such. It's that they want to make sure you don't get any of it.

The only "boomer" I know of doing this id Boogie. Are they for real? I think a lot of it is the lead poisoning.

When I look back on some of my non-shitty boomer relatives, I can sort of see autistic traits. Autism has become an over arching classification for any mental pitfalls though, it seems like. Slightly fucked from trauma or pervasive environmental toxins? Autism. There needs to be a little more nuance.

There's a demand to declare any social fallings as a flavor of autism. Take home schooled kids, for instance, they act autistic because of insufficient socialization. Genuine autism is rare and results in extremely obvious symptoms. If you have to question if it's autism, it probably isn't.

I hate how narcissistic (as much as that word gets overused nowadays) they are. They'll talk as if their generation was the greatest in history, but if you so much as criticize them slightly, they will go to the comment section like Jeets to say how you havent done anything, you are lazy and entitled, it's my money that I earned, etc. And that doesn't even touch the times they sell their house or land that's been in the family for generations on end, with the kids of boomers wanting that house or land.

I'm gonna assume you've seen this one as well as others, but I'll post it here since he does a great job breaking down what's going wrong with society mainly because of corruption amongst those still in charge. May not be the best threat to post this in, but the ridicule of the Boomer is there.

They got the vax even though my mom was hard into the Q shit and convinced that it was all NWO poison that caused my dad cancer (he beat it in the end) but still got it because "well your father got it since work required it so I figured I would get it to" and when I told them I was likely going to quit my job if they forced the vax on me it was "no! if your job tells you to do it, you do it! the most important thing is to do what your job says to do".

This shit drives me fucking crazy. The cowardice and lack of principles. They’ll yell and scream among good company (or when dealing with some low-level peon who poses no threat to them), but the second they’re faced with actual pressure, they cave instantly.

Way too many men in their generation see themselves morally stalwart action movie characters, but fail to recognize that: Bravery only when it’s broadly socially acceptable at the time is no bravery at all. In that way, virtue-signaling attention whore millennials truly are the children of their parents.

Interesting observation about Boomer media bias. Characters who achieved alot in their youth are cast as older people to make the older people feel better.
 
I think boomers' general inability to grasp the value of other people's time has been noted, but I want to give an example I specifically have had issues with the last few months.

My grandma has a litany of medical issues and can't altogether get out much herself, so several members of the family will take turns being the gofer when she needs errands run. The thing we have noticed and all mutually complained about is that she will always tack on extra errands last minute when you're doing stuff for her. If she asks you to do something three days in advance, she will, without fail, halfway through the agreed upon task, ask you to do "one or two extra little things" that will eat up two or three times as much extra travel time because the tasks require running to the opposite ends of town. Then she tries to play it off like "oh you can stop to get some food and I'll cover it after," as though driving yet another place for McSlop is supposed to make me less annoyed that a 20 minute mail run has turned into 2 hours of navigational pinball. It wouldn't be as bad if any of us were given all of the information ahead of time, but despite having nothing else to do, she somehow never knows what she needs done until you're already out and the extra time taken is going to bite into other stuff you already have planned. I want to clarify that I love my grandma, but apparently this sort of behavior is very common among boomers.
 
The start in life boomers got was a flash in the pan and I will never get over how much it skews their perspective when you combine it with an old fuck's propensity for getting stuck in their ways. The cherry on top is their vulgar clutching to positions of leadership and power despite literally being on respirators or condemned to wheel chairs. Just fucking give it up, retard. If I made it to that age and was breaking down all I'd want is to sit on a porch somewhere and feel the breeze.

Also that, [older age] is the new [younger age] is also something they started that I've noticed Xers and Millennials have begun doing too. Lord help us...
