Sure.........well sort of a semi-hard date. Like a Boomer with no Cialis.



Some put the date at 1980 and some a little later 83/84. End date is somewhere in the mid to later 90's.
Ask them to answer their $400.00 smart phone. They are not able to talk to communicate. They must use a text after reading what the answer should be from a chat room.

Maybe your Jitterbug cost 400 bucks.
This thread reminds me of riding the back of a very large trailer on cold morning in February, spitting sleet with good winds to boot, had a kid of about 20 on with trailer me, we were putting out traffic cones for a marathon later that morning, I guess about 12 miles in all, he said, man, my back hurts, I laughed and said, no offense young man, but you cant even spell 'hurt' yet! he looked at me kinda funny like.
It's easier than that. Just catch them someplace without a cell signal and engage them in conversation.
Funny. The ones I work with could probably run circles around most of your asses.
Just tell em they gotta make it on their own, and find their own place to live like an adult.

Toliet paper aint free Junior.

Time to leave the nest, your 29 yrs old now.
Cell phone kiosk at the mall is hiring and that is your comfort zone.

I'd just throw them the keys to a 77 Ford F-100 with 3 on the tree and tell them they can leave at anytime.

I'd say about 75% of the workers on the jobs I inspect are Millennials, and they usually do a damn good job and are very hard working. Hell, Im one myself (1988). We had a rotary phone, tv with the keypad on it, was required to write in cursive until like 98 when everyone got tired of it, and have only ever owned analog watches. You really need to find some better quality folks to associate with if that is your view of all millennials.
Have them speak a complete sentence without using the word "like".

I’m also made in 88 and I’m trying to figure out how these boomers could lock me in a room.

.....hate that one too.
Open a garage door without a remote. Hell, do anything without a remote.

Function for a week without their phone.
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.
John
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.
[bleep] millennials....
Hell, apparently millennial's don't even know that kids were once raised by the parents that made them.

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...
Who's butt hurt?

Wees just having fun.
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.

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....

A week!? Hell, most wouldn't last the day.
Glue an electrical cord to a hockey puck and watch them call it "Alexa" and try to interact.
Boomers be like :

"Man, these younger guys sure were raised in a fugked up world. I wonder who got it to that point?"
Thanks Boomer should be the new thanks Obama

Not even close. But hey.....rabble rabble rabble grin
Yeah those millennial sure are useless. Wonder who raised them. Oh and who effed up the banking systems and ruined pensions and spent every dime and caused war after war after war and who started the war on drugs and who voted in Democrat after Democrat. And who watched the greatest generation fight communism and then grew up to vote them in here. And who effed up the housing market and who squeezed everyone else out of the good jobs and who effed up medical costs and who ran up the national debt and on...and on...

The most selfish generation possibly ever. And now most are retired sucking huge payouts out of pensions they denied to other people and cant figure out their cell phone or remote control or they are still hanging on at work being 50 percent productive making 70k to walk around confused while keeping that salary tied up so they can't hire any millennials.

Yeah. Two sides to that story.


And once Again while all this was going on they sucked SSI dry and didn't bother to raise functional kids.


Thanks boomers.
How about have them get married before moving in together and living like they are. Oh yeah, tell them they "have to go to Church" at LEAST on Christmas & Easter, jeesh...even their Boomer parents (oops, I meant Grandparents) did that much! ha
Hey....not to worry.

The stock market is booming!
The Millennial effect in nothing new. There has been a percentage of every generation that failed to perform. The Greatest Generation had "Walter Mitty" (1939)

Thanks boomers.


The "Greatest Generation" was aligned with Stalin in WW2. Communism could have been stomped in the mud if that old Commie, FDR, hadn't bailed them out.
FDR and LBJ have a *lot* to do with the situation in America today,.......more than most people realize.

Neither were Boomers.
fdr was the worst in history. lbj was in the top 10 worst.

It was (part of) the greatest generation that spawned the hippie generation, aka the boomers; of which I am one (boomer, but not hippie!) I guess after the years of army regimentation, they'd just had enough of discipline and let their offspring do whatever felt good. Every generation has its flaws I suppose.

The '60's was a bad time.

The turmoil of the 60's was caused by LBJ (greatest generation) sending young men to Vietnam.

No Vietnam war,....no turmoil in the 60's.
No microwave.

Make them learn to count change.

With no war there would have been no music !
If you look back, the situation America is in is the result of actions that go back several generations. Millennials are pissed about the situation,..as they have a right to be. But the only reason the Boomer generation is catching grief from them is,..it's the last generation that got to participate in "America" before it all got shipped off to Mexico and China that is still alive.

Millennials point to the young people of the 60's as the cause for their woes. But the young people of the 60's were a reaction to things that had been going on for the better part of the early 20th century,......and the young people of today are reacting to things that went on in America for the entire 20th century.

There's no "one" generation to point to for it.
When I look back,....I blame the social justice warriors who caused the America Civil War.

Yep, and I will always suspect it was LBJ behind the JKF assassination. And it was JBJ who gave us the Great Society and the War on Poverty, both disasters from which we have not recovered.
My daughter is a millennial. Not stereotypical, but definitely ... sensitive about it. smile I called her a while back and asked her to explain avocado toast. She lost her sh*t .. TRULY worth the price of admission.

Okay, Millennial.
And nothing tells the story any better than this one !

So many of the answers were in the music, had anyone bothered to listen to the words.

For a second I thought this line was opart of the whole Y2K thread.
Somewhere along the line, some twit said do what makes you happy, instead of do what makes you money, the money will be what will make happiness happen in your life.

That and mind your own f~ckin buisness !
I always get a kick out of boomers hating on the very things they created....

Speaks a lot for the crappy parenting skills your generation had.
