Millineals and common courtesy...my only complaint.

I like what they’ve done with convienace and all the little apps they’ve created, but where did common courtesy take a back seat?

When trying to pull out of a parking lot in traffic, I always seemed to be blocked in by some hair bun driving a geo metro not allowing space staring straight ahead. I’m not even going the same direction as you. Just trying to get cross the road.

When getting off an elevator, there’s always some hipster in a rush to get on.

They seem to never want to wait till their turn like everyone else. Like they are born with some sort of priority.

I was just trying to back into my parking spot at work, and here’s some millineal behind me honking because I’m costing him 3 seconds of his life. Sorry I don’t drive a cracker box...I have to back in my truck which may help you out in a bind one day.

Stay for the whole meeting. Don’t ask to leave, just because your part is over. You may learn something.

I don’t get it. Love your fellow man, even when things aren’t going your way.

Well when I'm trying to pass someone in the left lane, I always seem to be stuck behind someone sitting lower than the steering wheel with glasses and an AARP sticker on the back bumper driving 40 on the interstate.

Backing in to parking spots is trashy.

The younger crowd was always about freedom of speech. Now, they don't allow anyone to speak who has a differing opinion.

I know better than to expect a hand written thank you note from kids today, but at least somehow acknowledge you got the damn gift.

Sounds like you need to take some of your own advice.

I always back in, in case I have to make a quick get-away.

I think if some impatient frick honked at me, I would stop for a minute or two until they stopped honking.

Same people who weave in and out of traffic, creating a dangerous environment and a traffic jam for everybody. Because all of the rest of us are obstacles, not human beings.

Jackasses.

Parking lot etiquette has taken a nose dive lately.

Backing out without a camera is dangerous now. People dont stop for shite.

It starts at home, we've been losing manners and courtesy for a few generations.

I feel ya on this but the game needs to change in traditional office settings. This type activity is apart of the future. In-person meeting etc. will hopefully die one day as well as 5-day work weeks.

There is actually a term used to describe what you are feeling regarding the youth.

It is called Juvenoia. It is an exaggerated fear the effects of social change has on youth.

It is the reason as you age you always feel like your generation is better than others especially the ones coming after you.
