I am embarrased to tell this, but here goes. Several years ago (my daughter was early teens), I was taking her somewhere in an older car I had just bought. Noticed her pushing different parts of the door panel. Asked what are you doing? She answered, "trying to roll down the window". I started laughing and told her to grab that little round knob on that lever and start cranking it. She thought that manual windows was about the stupidest thing she had ever seen.

Every truck should have manual crank windows and no phugging carpet, but good luck with that.

You people haven't been around crank windows for a lot of years.
Newer vehicles with afterthought crank windows are absolutely garbage.
Although I am sure Toyota still does them properly......fugging steam driven piles of crap.

Hell, apparently millennial's don't even know that kids were once raised by the parents that made them.

Give them job applications & You forgot to have them count change.
Two more wonderful suggestions...
and a third: Have them drive a car with a manual transmission.
actually I copied this off a face book post from a friend in Massachusetts..
I thought it was funny enough to share with my fellow campfire members...
addendum: After reading the rest of the responses, seems we have a few millennials on the campfire that
got hurt feelings over the original post...
This was just humor.. so don't get so butthurt...
but they felt a need to shout a little slander toward folks older than them.. but I guess they think that is okay..
just don't make fun on them..... proving a point that was being subtly made...

I don't think most people realize the age of a millennial.
They're usually quite normal.
Z's.... They can be a bit odd.

Have them speak a complete sentence without using the word "like". I know...right! .....hate that one too. Or maybe just stop taking like every sentence is a question? I went to Starbucks and like ordered a latte? Then got back in my Prius? Then we went to the mall to get more skinny jeans?

1. Lock them in a room with a rotary dial phone.
2. an analog watch
3. a TV with no remote...
4. then leave directions for them on how to use, written in cursive... And just where do you plan to find these terror weapons; dig up a time capsule?
What fresh Hell is this?

There are available at my house Pappy.... don't use the rotary phone since i don't have land lines anymore, but I also don't have a smart phone.. a flip phone serves my needs just fine... I don't text, I talk to people.. i use an analog watch... I have several TVs with no remotes.. which have lasted longer than a couple of smart TVs my wife has wanted.. and my 25 year old son is shocked at how good my hand writing is... he was a 4.0 GPS student thru High School and College, yet he thinks I am a mathematical genius, because I can do math in my head.. and doesn't believe that we had to remember multiplication and division tables in grade school....

Open a garage door without a remote. Hell, do anything without a remote.
Function for a week without their phone.
A week!? Hell, most wouldn't last the day.
