Top 10 Things that cause me great PAIN as a Boomer:
I was born in another century and kinda miss the good old days and the way things used to be. There are many things in the modern culture that I don’t like or I would rather not adjust to and some of them just straight up cause me pain.
So, tongue in cheek, here’s my top 10 list today.
10. New Gas Cans.
The new safety features on these portable gas cans are ridiculous. I think they were designed by people who’s never filled up a lawnmower and their lives.
9. Traffic Circles.
There was no training, they just dropped the circles in the middle of our highways, and most people have no idea how to navigate them.
8. Child Proof Lids.
The lids are so secure you need a child to help you to open them. And the instructions are written in hieroglyphics on top of the bottle.
7. Self Check Out Lines.
Apparently, I am now a part-time employee at Walmart.
6. Checking Into A Hotel.
Why do they always want a credit card for incidentals? I don’t plan to buy incidentals while I’m here. Just give me my room key and leave me alone.
5. Smart Phone Settings.
This is feature so easy to set up on your smart phone. All it takes is seven easy steps, which always ends with me, throwing my phone in the lake.
4. Ordering Coffee.
The coffee has more names than the British Royal Family. Just too many adjectives for a cup of coffee.
3. Shampoo.
Too many bottles in the shower; for your hair, your face, your body and moisturizing cream for your feet. I prefer the five in one bottle for all of your parts and you can use it to wax your truck later.
2. Taxes.
I probably wouldn’t mind paying taxes if they would stop funding the “study of the mating habits of bees on the Saharan desert”.
1. Dishes That Are Not Dish
Washer Safe.
Dishes that are so fragile that they can’t get wet seems to be a bad idea. “Don’t put that in the dishwasher, you have to wash it with a puppy”.
