My old person trait is that I think 'ghosting' is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.
Yeah that line was used by my abusers way to often. They just "can't understand" why I'd go no contact. As if the last 300 explanations were somehow non existent. Nope. I don't owe you anything.
And my old person trait is my walking stick I suppose.
My old person trait is that I think it’s insulting for there to be an option to tip when going through a drive through.
My old person trait is that I don't trust paying with your phone. My whole family does it and it has never gone wrong, but I feel uneasy
My old person trait is that a digital file I paid for should be DRM free.
My boomer trait: I don't use big social media apps like most people my age (19). You could argue that it's pretty common but it always comes up in conversation. I'd rather not be concerned about someone else’s life, but engage with people who talk about their experiences and knowledge.
I dislike and distrust short form video based social media. But that seems to be the common response.
IDK if I even consider that an "old person" trait though because there are lots of Zoomers that seem to hate it to. Though I wonder if that's because generational cultures are melding together more because of the internet.
My old person trait is thinking that you should be able to read posts on Twitter without an account.
My old person trait is I think cashless-only businesses should be illegal.
Breaking wind when I cough
I prefer to talk to individuals on phones rather than texting a long conversation. If it's a quick question (yes/no) or short answer texting is ok. But I find it taking longer and more tedious to text out an ongoing conversation over 20 minutes versus just calling and getting straight to the point and getting the information you need in 5 minutes.
My old person trait is that no one is allowed to be mad at me for not answering a random phone call. Sometimes it's ok to leave your phone in the other room while watching a movie, or (gasp!) At home while you're out gardening.
My OPT is that you should be able to buy and own your software instead of perpetually renting it.
Mine is that hook up culture is a lazy alternative to finding someone to build a meaningful relationship with
I guess I'm older than I thought.
My old person trait is I think people should remove their headphones when interacting with each other IRL
My old person trait is that I write primarily in cursive and prefer it.
Mine is I get unreasonably annoyed whenever teenagers are loud in public places.
Mine is very similar. Loudness annoys me but the rest of the inconsiderate behavior that seems to be more common to teenagers drives me bonkers. My teenage neighbors moved last week. First, they did not first empty the elevator of the 50 apartment building but tried to take stuff directly to the car after cigarette break. While three people were waiting to use elevator. Then they left some furniture in entrance hall that would be whatever but by doing it they blocked two doors to building common storages that are commonly used until late next day. Another thing is littering when the trash baskets are right there. And yes, I said something and felt like old man screaming for them to get out of my lawn. I guess I have reachem my rackety old man stage while being thirty something woman.
I think everybody here has an old person trait. Joining the fediverse
Shouting at young people who blast bad auto tuned rap music in front of my house :D Or"answering" with very very loud good rap music or black metal :D
My ankles crack like someone is throwing those little rock baggies that pop with every step way too often. I have declared that my wife finds it enduring despite her near constant shock at the loudness and frequency. Also her PT friends says I have loose ankles for which I am uncertain how to prepare or prevent for whatever fate has for me.
I'm so guilty of ghosting, but I feel like it really is difficult to stay in touch with people, the more time passes. However, I do eventually answer after 2 months to 2 years from when the last message was sent, though
Usually after 2 months I feel so bad that I don’t have the gut to reply… I hate when people ghosts me and when I do it I feel like shit! But I’m extremely introverted so sometimes I can’t function with people…
My old person trait is refusing to buy things on internet and wanting to buy them in person. The funny thing is: My mom (63) have no problem on purchasing things online; while I (31) am afraid to do that!
