    I know a few older people that always give me instructions, but they use antiquated terms for the things they’re talking about and get mad at me for only having been born a measly 30 some years ago

    oh and often times, the instructions they give are way more complicated and counterintuitive than they need to be. when I find an easier and simpler way to do it they get mad at me

    then there’s boomers that try to oversimplify things that actually are complicated and must be done a specific way

        Like calling a couch a “davenport” just to name on example, but sometimes old people look at me like I’m crazy for not knowing the technical terms about cars
