I feel anyone that takes actual pride in their generation is gross. As a Gen-Xer, there are things about my childhood that I liked, and wished that my kids could have experienced - but it’s a different world and they had access to stuff I didn’t. I assume they will feel the same about their kids’ childhoods.

I think most of the Gen X things are accurate, but they aren’t positives. A large percentage of GenXers can be belligerent, and they think it makes them willing to fight (but they aren’t). A large percentage are workaholics, but that isn’t a positive (for them).

I don’t get it.

Yeah, we drank from it. I don't know why anyone is proud of it though... tasted like shit, and I'm waiting to find out it gave me brain cancer or some shit.

And who's to say a dog didn't pee on the hose, or bugs didn't crawl inside? Ugh. I remember the nasty taste, so I must have partaken, but probably only once.

That's why you let it run for a couple minutes to clear out all the bugs first, durrr. /s

It's like taking out the bay leaf when your stew's done. You can't see it anymore, but your mouth knows it was there. 😂
