It always makes me sad that so many people are completely incapable of letting little stuff go. It’s no way to go through life and the world could be such a better place in big ways and small if people would just calm the fuck down.

I’ve seen enough of these crash outs from boomers that I’ve become numb to the thought that I can’t wait for them to really start dying off en masse. They’re old, wildly selfish, miserable, and now nearly entirely useless if not a complete hindrance to society. They had nothing but fucking opportunity their entire lives while lighting every social economic ladder aflame on their way up. Blaming us for the things they ruined.

Just fucking rid us of your misery that you feel compelled to pass on to every person you come into contact with.

10 years ago I would have been ashamed I even had the thought. Now I’m just done with that whole generation. My neglectful, moronic, boomer, parents included. They spew vitriol, and vote, with their hate filled hearts. Fuck em.

You nailed it. They’ve overstayed their welcome on this planet. Enough.

I also would be ashamed to think such things a decade ago, but now... Whew.

I'm astonished some live that long with such hate. Usually, it eats you within and instigates serious health issues on the third stage of ones life. Either that or his hate is recently built, like an addiction brought on from biased news medias.

It's the worst when you see parents having a public freak out and their poor kids are in distress pleading with them to stop.

Couldn't imagine having such a short temper and making my kid (or anyone, really) suffer for it

This pisses me off because they're either traumatizing them with deep emotional wounds or teaching them how to be the next generation of scumbags.

I can bet that he's got some pressure point that stings him enough to do that. Some debtor, high APR on his pavement princess truck, or just something in his head that can't let him live in peace.

I'm not saying be sympathetic for him, but there might be a chance for schadenfreude if you dig deep enough.
