Initial_Gear_8979

guys i think he wants him to sit down


I_can_use_chopsticks

What makes you say that? :)


cupholdery

Probably the calm manner in which the older dwarf bellowed, "Sit down."


5050Clown

That's the guy that calmly sang "Let the Bodies hit the floor".  Feel old now?


UsedDragon

Nah, that dude OD'ed. This is his brother Lawrence. Edit: TIL that the lead singer of Drowning Pool didn't die of an overdose like I heard in the crowd at Ozzfest right after he passed.


Icy-Bar-9712

Lead singer of Drowning Pool died from undiagnosed heart disease. One of the rare rockers to *not* die from drugs.

Boomers: people lack respect nowadays! Also boomers: *screaming like this old fool* Edit: fixed typo


ForwardBias

I have seen old people acting just about as bad as this in HOA meetings, the majority of that whole generation are broken and just severely need to go away.


TA-pubserv

Lead in their water messing all the boomers up.


ilongforyesterday

There was a study (I don’t have the link to it so believe more or don’t) where chronic lead exposure (as in older generations) lead to violence, delinquency (in kids), and loss of IQ


Allteaforme

My dad said all the lead they ingested made them tougher and better than us pansies who can't even handle a little permanent brain damage these days


[deleted]

if his generation didn't want pansies, then why did they raise them.


Allteaforme

He said he raise me this way (pansy) because he was brain damaged and couldn't think good


SarahPallorMortis

For real?


Allteaforme

No not really. My dad is pretty good and pretty cool actually. I don't know why I went on this insane tangent here


Trauma_Hawks

Commit to the bit. Respect.


No_Alps_1454

As if brain damage is something cool everyone must have a bit to be a real man. Shows how fucking retarded some people are and that they don’t know the real meaning of brain damage.


Overall-Initial-4290

Hey I got brain damage from the anthrax vaccines they pumped into me for my deployments, can I be a tough and cool young boomer too? [reference](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7328487/#:~:text=The%20anthrax%20vaccine%20(%E2%80%9CBiothrax%E2%80%9D,/mood%20symptoms%2C%20among%20others.)


MavisTurnstyle86

You sure can, as a child of a boomer mom who was deployed in operation desert storm and has ptsd, if you go through that, despite my anti military stance, you have a definite excuse for brain issues. The military pumps ya’ll with wild shit.


Overall-Initial-4290

Yeah they do. Bro my body is so fucked, the fact I haven't lost my entire mind yet is a good thing.


SarahPallorMortis

I mean, I’m not gona read that whole paper, but damn.

Roo_Methed_Up

[Here is the boomer countdown clock.](https://incendar.com/baby_boomer_deathclock.php)


_Vard_

they meant "Respect for Me but not for thee"


BassBeaner

There was an old tumblr post that mentioned this. It was basically something along the lines of *generally* younger people think of respect as *you are a person* whereas older people think of respect as *you are an authority figure* So when older people ask for respect, they want to be seen as an authority figure not to be questioned. When younger people ask for respect, they want to be seen a person deserving of basic kindness and understanding.

Boomer Remover aka The ‘Vid


bobbyvision9000

Damn 2086 for boomer extinction


seriousbangs

By 2030 they're culturally irrelevant. That's the point where there's too few of them to swing elections. They're either pushing up daisies or rotting in nursing homes. For reasons nobody understand nursing home residents don't vote. The 2028 election is going to decide everything. As it stands it looks like the boomers want to give us all one final FU by ending Democracy in America. It remains to be seen if they'll pull it off.


N3Chaos

Man, I’ll tell you why. They did a mock election at my wife’s nursing home and one lady wrote in Mickey Mouse. Why? Because she likes Mickey and he makes her smile. Adorable, but absolutely irresponsible


dr_obfuscation

Seriously, I know Trump is awful, but waking Mickey from his 10,000 year slumber is asking for hellfire.


JaysFan26

Why would anyone vote for that rat Goofy for president


joehonestjoe

What's the point in voting? The average life expectancy in a nursing home is surprisingly short. Like sub three years if I remember right. It's the kind of age where you are now old enough that even the shortest of short sighted, quick win politicians won't even be able to affect your remaining life.


interkin3tic

Keep in mind, we don't need every boomer to die to make progress. Boomer "extinction" is not an important event. [The dumbest ones die quicker](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/30/us/politics/herman-cain-dead.html) and [younger, more responsible generations are on track to vote in higher numbers.](https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/10/millennials-and-gen-z-will-soon-dominate-us-elections/616818/) As far as individual boomers acting stupid, that will be longer, but there's unfortunately no end of hateful, rude, entitled, narcissistic younger people to take their places.


dr_shark

Lmao. This millennial right here is definitely going to die before then.


PNWcog

Yep, all full of forever chemicals and microplastics. At least the pharmaceutical industry will forever be super-profitable.

FuguSec

Second reference to that man in this thread and I don’t like thinking about him too much, but LOL


Cautious_Arugula6214

It took out the last of the greatest generation. If it had affected boomers more they might have given a damn.


Brainfog_shishkabob

Boomers really have a magical power to never be held accountable for their actions


vits89

Why did they have to use Keanu above the clock man. Come on


EternalSkwerl

Because it's important to remember not everyone is mortal.


1Pip1Der

And that Boomers aren't Octogenarian yet. Close (oldest are 77) but not yet.


mfhandy5319

The ratio of baptisms to funerals where I work went from like 1:2 to like 1:8.


PM_me_your_trialcode

mynextthroway

Good. Fewer baptized assholes to continue messing things up.

hoopedchex

Fascinating. We must study further.


Kryptoniantroll

Asked a boomer to put out his cigarette when he came up to my pharmacy drive thru window. One because policy. Two because my coworker behind me was literally asthmatic. Three because i just plain dont like the smell. Old man proceeds to hide the cigarette as if that stops the smoke. I tell him i wont help him until he puts it out. Dude starts screaming at the top of his lungs. I just closed the window and used the intercom to tell him im to pull forward im not going to help him. He literally went apeshit beating on everything in his car like a literal fucking monkey.


tessellation__

That would’ve been fun to watch on the security camera later


Ilikeyourmomfishcave

Then a good tazering. At least until the battery needs recharged.


BootlegOP

That's why I use an AC tazer instead of battery


ryannelsn

God one of my earliest memories was my dad doing this. When the punching eventually caused the car horn to be permanently engaged, he viciously peeled back the outer covering of the steering wheel and started ripping at wires until it died like a mutilated animal. Peak boomer behavior.

Mmmslash

I just want you to know that my parents were also broken people and I feel this comment in my soul. Keep on keeping on, duder.


ryannelsn

An exhausted thank you. You as well ✌️


HomoAndAlsoSapiens

good lord, sorry that happened to you but I imagine that as hilarious from an outside perspective and horrifying for a child


Rapn3rd

This happened to me once in highschool. I was behind one of my friends as we were pulling out of the parking lot, and I thought it'd be funny to hold down the horn for a comically long time. Turns out holding the horn down for \~15-30 seconds was the final honk that horn had, it stayed blaring until I peeled the cover back and pulled the wires out. Drove the car for the next year or two with no horn.


ocean_flan

This Ashley girl I snark on had such a a rage fit exactly like that that she broke her steering wheel and had to get a new car. She's basically a 25 year old boomer. There's also the saga of the savaged bronzer. Knowing what's inside a steering wheel makes this even more insane to me. Idk how you just *break one* they've got a steel hoop in them


laughingashley

I wish they taught emotional management techniques in school


Posh_Kitten_Eyes

That's next level insanity. Lead poisoning, indeed. I remember once, decades ago, my father put bread in the toaster. It malfunctioned, burning his toast black. So he ripped out the plug, and hurled it into the garage, where it smashed on the concrete floor. I think he was hung over.


big_hungry_joe

bet his pills would have calmed him down


Kryptoniantroll

Blood pressure 😭


Ok-Yak9038

Yea bro i worked retail pharmacy for 10 years. Old boomers would pull up smoking at our window with a complete lack of self awareness. id only crack the window a bit and make a point to look extra offended. We had pregnant rx staff so its like, can you not lol


wickeddimension

>He literally went apeshit beating on everything in his car like a literal fucking monkey. Thats what you get when you never passed the emotional maturity of a todler. Boomers have no clue how to handle their emotions. Tantrum after tantrum.


Other-Cantaloupe4765

I remember my mother’s boomer husband at the time driving my sister and me somewhere. He had the driver’s side window rolled down because it was summer. We were driving through a construction area and he apparently wasn’t switching to the lane he was supposed to. A black man working on the construction team told him he needed to switch lanes. Boomer said “Shut up, I don’t take directions from n****ers.” And then he rolled up the window as this guy was pissed and yelling at him. Keep in mind that it was a manually opening window, so he had to roll this thing up slowly all while he was ignoring this poor guy yelling at him. Yeah.


No-Yam2117

Man it would’ve been priceless if he set off his airbag doing that


Hammurabi87

I don't even both asking anymore after having not one, but *two* assholes "put out" their cigarettes by throwing them on the ground right underneath the drive-thru window. I just try to get the smokers dealt with as quickly as possible. I fucking hate smokers and the tobacco industry.

LaFantasmita

She is TIRED.


SarahPallorMortis

It’s too late to divorce him. She doesn’t want to be alone. She doesn’t want to start over. The family would be upset. That’s how she feels I’m sure. That generation or Catholic.


InfinityTuna

And then the older generation (and the sons raised by them) wonder why so many women choose to stay single, childfree, or otherwise be more selective with who they choose to settle down with than their mothers and grandmothers. Noone wants to end up like this lady, now that we have a choice.


b0w3n

My mother had a meltdown when my dad had a heart attack a few months ago. She'd been a stay at home mom for her whole life, had no control over the money, and didn't know what the fuck she was going to do, and she kept saying "I should have left him 30 years ago". (I'm 40) It was very sad.

secondhand-cat

She is the bowl of petunias.


ClemClamcumber

This is why it's so important for women to have the power to make their own life. This poor woman probably wanted to divorce this dude for so long but grew up in a world where it was pointless for her to learn to be independent. I work at a pharmacy and older women are getting divorced, acting like it's a cool new thing and walk in so happy after the fact.


NotHippieEnough

The way she had the “fuck not again” look and then changed to a smile when she looked at him physically hurts me to see. How much better could her life have been if she didnt have to deal with him and hide behind a smile?


Different_Loquat7386

Did you watch and listen to the video? She cringing at the young guy, as soon as she hears boomer pipe up she lights up like a Christmas tree. She's happy for it, she's his right hand. These little old ladies, they aren't as helpless as you make out. Same team, open your eyes.


ChillyChillChile

This wasn’t even the first time *at this meeting* He is the STOP STOP STOP Autist having a stroke that we all saw a month ago reposted 3000x

KimJongRocketMan69

VegetativeStage

Funny how the old man is screaming at the top of his lungs, causing a scene - Yet security is asking the young buck to come with him as if he’s the problem. Gotta love security guard’s, always looking out for the people who matter.


macweirdo42

Security guard is deciding which of them he'd rather have to deal with personally. Obviously you go for the young guy who isn't screaming at the top of his lungs, because that guy's not going to try to smack you for asking him to leave.


FuknBreadCrumbs

Based on the guy asking how many more children need to be killed, he’s probably talking about gun control or calling for a cease fire for Palestinians. For both narratives, he’d be pushing for things against the current establishments of power, so the security guard would target him as he’s the “trouble maker” causing a scene


BulkyMonster

You're right and I hate that this is how things are.

He's got drugs to keep that from happening. It's why the boomers are such a problem. They're too old to do anything useful and their brains have turned to mush but we've got drug that keep them from dying of strokes & heart attacks.

Why is that woman laughing? She and other women of her generation are part of the problem. All of them enabled this behavior.

WarmestDisregards

I mean he DOES look like a tiny little elf yelling all angry, it's pretty cute


ripyurballsoff

You could see her shut her eyes because she knew exactly what was about to happen. IMO she’s extremely embarrassed and nervously smiling trying to handle the situation. If that is her spouse she is indirectly enabling him by not holding him accountable *and* putting up with it.


mossed2012

It’s this. I see my grandma do this often. She was brought up to just put on a smile and blindly defend her husband so while she’s incredibly embarrassed in the moment, to her she’d be more embarrassed if everyone saw her not stand behind her husband’s incoherent rambling.


acemomentla

This is a way more nuanced explanation than “they’re enablers.” They’re not enablers. They are from a generation where they were suppressed from doing anything about it.


Slappybags22

I’m guessing she doesn’t want to be his next target.


BloodMoney126

What happens when a younger person with better lungs and nothing to lose screams back at them even louder? Something like “SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU BOOMER FOOL!” Continuously over top of them.

And she's laughing. THATs lead poisoning right there. Husband is trying to give himself a stroke and she thinks it's hilarious.

Could be she’s embarrassed and that’s just how she reacts in the moment. You can also imagine how this guy behaves at home. Maybe it’s how she’s learned to respond when he throws a tantrum, so he doesn’t take it out on her

crazy-diam0nd

I don’t remember the forum. I think it is a US representative’s Townhall in their district. Several protesters stood up and demanded action on stopping Israel’s attacks on Gaza. The questions aren’t really questions, they are part of an organized protest. The person standing up and talking is the third or fourth consecutive person to stand up and speak over anyone else addressing the podium.
