YWIA! “Boomers Got the Vax”

[NewOrleans]

it’s a tweet— google Boomers Got the Vax if you can’t see the tweet

[tripleshot]

🤣

[tessalb]

😂 but also 😩 at the truth of some of it. If my FIL tells us one more time that he paid for his college tuition with his summer job, I think H is gonna poke him in the eyes

[TR]

LOL

I hate Boomers.

Do you remember how Sandsonik would lose her ENTIRE shit about our Boomer hate? That was fantastic. Memories sweet memories. 😈

Hahaha! This is why I identify as early GenX even though a demographer would say my pants are smoking if not on fire. Also not vax'd, and not eligible yet.

[goldengirlz]

Oh, this is amazingly accurate!

The Boomers are so unsympathetic.

[suzubell]

🤣 unbelievably accurate.

The worst boomer partner I worked with used to tell me how his summer job paid for law school tuition and he saved money on living expenses by reading the newspaper at the library instead of subscribing, so he graduated without debt.

Sure, dude. And if law school cost $5k, I could've done the same.

I will NEVER understand this POV. Never.

My life right now is trying to explain to g-damn boomers that some of us haven't been vaccinated, so no, a group of us don't want to hang out in your living room just because zoom makes you sads, and I don't want you crashing at my house during your drive across the country to visit everyone you've ever met, and yes we all still need to wear f-ing masks.

They forgot the part about how the Boomer put on his / her best suit and walked around the downtown business district with a stack of resumes, and just walked into offices, said "Can I speak to the hiring manager?" and hand-delivered resumes until somebody gave him / her a job interview on the spot.

This was always how dad got jobs and it took all of his children telling him at the same time that this is not how it works for him to even accept it might be a possibility.

[Velar Fricative]

Plus how are you gonna put on your power suit and hand off your resume over zoom??

I saw a TikTok recently that was an economics teacher talking about how paying for college when our parents were in college was possible with a part time job earning minimum wage. But for that to be possible today, minimum wage would need to be $125/hr. It's nuts.

Y'all will be just as annoying to your own kids and their generation someday. By cracky.

I found a stack of my grandfathers resumes not long ago. He had all of this crazy info on there - his weight, hair color, eye color, etc. And yes he just walked around and handed them out.

Eh, it’s already happening:

It comes with the territory of being a large generation.

Agreed.
I remember the media making a huge fuss about "Baby Boomers" in the 60's/70's, so it went to our heads.  "Yeah, I'm part of this huge group and I'm pretty darned awesome!"
What I thought was funny was the adage the older BB's (hippies) would say "Never trust anyone over the age of 30!"  Too funny.

The media made a fuss about the Boomers well into the ‘90s ... until it became all about Millennials (sorry, Gen X.)

Also, this was my favorite tweet from the article I linked:

[One Girl In All The World]

This is hilarious.

My SIL is technically Gen X by a year or two but OMG I always forget she’s not a boomer. She would fit right in. 

[mrssandro]

@@ I am Gen X and it shows. So I am confused on me raising a Gen Z. My husband is 100% millennial and he is only 2 years younger.

But I still hate boomers and I was raised by one I heard that boomer song on SNL and I immediately posted it to my facebook just for my dad because that is my dad in nutshell. My mom is at least cool and she raised me.

[Pilsy]

SNL misses the mark for me a lot these days, but I laughed out loud at this. Well done!

[pugz]

The "wow I have 6 houses? Good for me!" made me LOL.

[pugz]

thankful my boomer parents aren't like this at all. My in laws however....

I don’t want to tell you what I did! Okay ouch stop twisting my arm. I graduated with a BA in East Asian Literature (1974 -- correction. That was hs. College was '79.) and this white girl printed her resume:
• on parchment
• rolled into a scroll
• tied with silk ribbon
• hand delivered so they didn’t get crushed in the mail.

I have not earned one cent of actual salary using that degree but the semester of classical Japanese porn erotica was ... something!

Even in the early 90s trying to get a high school job I heard stories of people showing up with a wheel of cheese “for the big cheese” 🙄😂

I remember being told to put my SSN on my resume to “save everyone time”

[mrsukyankee]

I'm older GenX and the only way to find a job when I was of age was to look in the newspaper ads. I was trying to move to a different state to follow a boyfriend (boy, was that an idiotic idea) and I had to look at microfiche at the big library to see NJ newspapers with wanted ads. It truly sucked.

[bugmeetsworld]

*poof*

[jennybee1018]

Omg I hadn't seen this - hilarious! Now it's going to be stuck in my head all day!
