I finally found the reason why boomers hate texting

My dad and I were making plans to do something for my sister's graduation. I texted him we can sit down and discuss the specifics later that evening and that I will be at his house after work around 6.

Between 4:30-5:30 I received 5 calls every 10 minutes or so asking why I made a commitment to meet at 4 and never showed up. And to not bother showing up anymore and that he would do all the planning himself. I finally showed up to his house at 6:00 and showed him the text messages which he replied okay to that we agreed to 6. His response "this is why I hate texting, when everything is clear and documented there's no point in trying to argue who is wrong or who is right". I told him with the truth being documented there is no point in arguing because it is evidently clear who is right and who is wrong. He told me to get out of his face and go home.

My new method of dealing with angry Boomers: agree with them.

Visiting my Boomer parents recently, I discovered a new way to shut down their typical rants - excitedly agree with them, assume control of the conversation, and then say something equally absurd that is in the same context.

Some examples from my recent visit:

"Can you believe 'millenials' aren't being taught cursive or how to read clocks in school? They aren't going to know anything when they graduate"

"I know! I knew this country was going to hell when they stopped teaching them how to count on an abacus or how to balance the humors by draining blood. How will they survive without this knowledge??"


"I refuse to get vaccinated for Covid. I'm not putting that junk in my body. It's killed too many people."

"I completely agree! I heard Joe Biden is intentionally spiking Covid vaccines with Roundup week killer that's been prayed over by Satanic priests, just for the laughs. Terrible!"

--

Of course, they caught on and got a little pissy, and I pulled the old "but I'm just agreeing with you" act, but it stopped the stupid rants on day one of my visit.

Boomer obsession with the Gadsen Flag AKA "Don't tread on me"

My boomer neighbor is obsessed with this flag, even named his dog after it. He is a huge MAGA but doesn't have any MAGA merch because we live in a super liberal area and he's afraid he'll be "targeted." Ok.

The irony is as a racist retired cop, he's the boot not the snake.

Husband and I noticed he sporadically changes out his American flag for other flags to convey not so subtle messages. Like putting out other state, country or military flags when people are visiting.

The Gadsen flag is reserved for when he is really pissed off about the liberals. It was up on Jan 6th. It's up every election day. It was up frequently during COVID.

Recently it's been up about every other day, and I don't watch news enough to know what fox told him to be upset about but we finally put it together this week. It's out every day trump is in court. I love that he takes the effort to only put it out in court days.

He moved it from the flagpole to his pickup truck once Stormy Daniels hit the stand so he could drive around and let everyone know how trampled his rights are.

Little does he know we now associate the flag being out with the conservatives being owned. One day he is going to have a heart attack and it is definitely going to be on a Gadsen flag day.
