People are confessing the most boomer complaints they have – 19 delightfully grumpy suggestions
People born between 1946 and 1964 are known as Baby Boomers or simply Boomers.
They didn’t have to live through World War II, they benefitted from free university education, relatively low house prices and plentiful job opportunities, yet they have a reputaion for complaining about everything the younger generations do or like …which is just how generations work.
Over on Twitter/X, girl fieri had people thinking about that with a really good question –
What is the most boomer complaint you have? Mine is I think people take their dogs too many places for my taste and also I think everyone should be more punctual.

Judging by the responses, it seems we might all have a few Boomer tendencies. See if you agree with any of these pet peeves.

I’m so tired of needing a special app for every aspect of modern life. A new app for the kids’ school each year, an app to park my car, an app for every store and restaurant, and on and on.

Why are you filming in the gym. At the grocery store. Please. I am just trying to go about my life, I don’t want to be a sad, agèd background crone in part 1 of 279 of how to get better butt. Or what brand of frozen pizza you buy. Any of them. Please do your videos at home. https://t.co/R6QCuTv1tp

When a grocery store puts free standing displays in the aisles, why do people insist on stopping their carts opposite them? What's the strategy there, Leonidas? The Persian grocery is three blocks away. And has the narrowest aisles in town.
