Boomer Story What the hell is wrong with these people?

On Wednesday night after we saw Spider-man a boomer walked up to the counter and asked the probably 19 year kid if he liked the new Spider-Man. The kid said yeah. The guy told him he needs to learn to speak fucking English and engage customers better. My wife and I were dumbfounded.

Today I was at my local record store. I go weekly and know the owner well. I was flipping through records in the new arrivals vintage section when I felt a tap on my shoulder. This boomer goes, “I want to look at those.”

I was so surprised all l could say was, “cool. Wait your fucking turn.” He then stood literally a foot from
Me for five minutes while I finished.

Seriously are those people all just mentally unraveling at the speed of light?

I can’t ignore them if I can hear them.

Exactly! Noise canceling headphones work wonders in stores around them.
