Reddit, what's your most I am with the Boomers on this opinion?
I want a human customer service operator not an automated operator or chat bot.
I don’t need a subscription for everything. No you don’t need my phone number or email just let me buy my shirt and get the flock out of the store
TV is getting too dark. Not emotionally - it is visually too dark and I can’t see it
Not everything needs to connect to the internet or have an app attached to it. I just want my fridge to keep shit cold, I don't understand why we have to bring WiFi into this situation.
Basic home appliances (fridge, washer/dryer, etc) do NOT need a touch screen
Sometimes it's faster (and easier) to just plug something in, instead of dealing with bluetooth connectivity. There's something nice about knowing how to get it connected and being able to physically connect/disconnect.
Physical media: owning books, movies, and music, is far superior to a subscription service, or digital content.
Many things which basically all trace back to sundry "get off your flocking phone" situations
Touchscreen cars are not a good idea
If you’re walking on a crowded sidewalk, get off your flocking phone it’s not the job of other pedestrians to avoid you while you make your vlog. Awareness of your surroundings is important.
When you’re in a public place you should respect others around you but not being disruptive with your behavior. For example, not playing music on your phone without headphones while on a bus, in a restaurant etc.
GIVE ME BACK MY HEADPHONE JACK
I’m not downloading a flocking app to use your menu
Standard headlights on new automobiles are too bright. Literally being blinded by every other car DURING THE DAYTIME wondering if their brights are on
Coca Cola tastes better out of glass bottles than plastic bottles
I prefer reading on paper, not on screen
Physical keyboards are better than virtual keyboards.
I'd rather interact with a real person instead of dealing with automated phone voices or customer service bots on websites.
Most features in cars should have buttons. Want to turn on your heated seat, button, not scroll through three screens.
Most people don't train their dogs well enough because they treat them like children, then they can't handle them when they're reactive and put people and other dogs in danger
Social media is the reason for a lot of problems
Get off my lawn.
I don’t really know if this is a boomer opinion per say but you don’t need to document everything thing you do and post it to your social media. Sometimes it’s better to just live in the moment and enjoy what’s happening around you
Every damned thing is a subscription. Music? Subscription. Movies? Subscription. TV shows? Subscription. Heat your ass while you’re driving? Subscription. REALLY? Oh, sorry—I’m a boomer. I’ll leave now.
Sometimes I do just wanna grill
Just because I pay for something on a tablet or kiosk, doesn’t mean I should have to tip the person holding it. I’m all for tipping wait staff but these days you can’t buy anything without getting a tip request from whatever payment processor they use.
Less an opinion but related. Stock lots of canned good. Works good in pinch and saved my butt when Covid first hit and it was impossible to get any food. I try to always keep at least a few days worth of food in canned good around, just incase.
More electronics in cars is just more stuff that can malfunction that are harder to fix.
I prefer physical menus over QR codes.
Millennial. I agree that sometimes at work you need to pick up the phone because it's easier than sending text message back and forth.
Things were made to last back in the day, and it was very easy to fix when broken. Cars, Appliances, etc. Nothing is made to last anymore, and it’s very difficult to fix. Anything that needs an app to operate is probably garbage and won’t last very long.
Strangers should not be on my lawn.
Kids shouldn't touch any electronic devices until a certain age. I work in tech but if I ever have kids I will still enforce this rule. It makes me sad to see 1 year old babies glued to phones.

You should be able to live and sustain a family off of one income!
There are few things which turn me off more to the restaurant experience than the first thing everyone does, is pulling out their phone at the table. The whole point of going out is human interaction (and that includes servers), otherwise one could just eat at home.
QR codes for restaurant menues. Nopity nope.
Stop filming everything at concerts or shows or whatever. Enjoy it.
I really don't want to hear about anybody's sex life in graphic detail
When liquor, drugs, or tits are out, keep your phone in your pocket. I see too many people just randomly posting pictures of others in situations that should not be photographed.
Cooking on the grill and having a beer is better than going to that overpriced new restaurant.
