My boss took on an 18 year old apprentice a few years ago and he'd never made a phonecall before! and I don't just mean in a workplace environment, he'd literally never called anyone!

Jammy cunt.

The Internet generation those whose entire lives have had the answers to everything at their fingertips, privacy a rarity everything consumable and disposable, relationships often digital, patience thin and entitlement as high as ever are going to be the most useless cunts of all time. I for one look forward to see their jelly foundations topple and kill us all.

Entitlement.

 

Her youngest only speaks when the internet is lagging and he cant play fortnite properly. I deliberately lag the internet by playing a stream all day on my phone just to hear him throw his toys out of the pram.

Dinnertime is also amusing. He eats his food as fast as he can so he can get back on his Playstation than sit and talk with the family. Again I eat my dinner as slowly as possible which makes him huff and puff disapproval.

Aye, our 13 year old was alright in the first lockdown but she’s spent a lot of time either side of Christmas locked away in her bedroom, culminating recently in lots of huffing and puffing when we’ve had the temerity to ask her to do something and a general reluctance to spend time with anyone else in the family. Being a nasty bitch at times too.
 

At first I was happy enough to put it down to lockdown stress and teenage girl hormones but a couple of weeks ago I’d had enough and saw my arse about it. After a fucking almighty telling off we sat her down, told her we appreciated that Covid has made things crap but reminded her of everything she has, everything she gets, how privileged she is compared to some others and how we don’t have to allow her to have any of those things. 
 

Seems to have done the trick. For now anyway. She’s back downstairs playing Switch with us, coming on walks to the park and not speaking to the rest of us like we’re cunts. Like a breath of fresh air.

The mrs was with her school class , aged about 9 , on a trip to the science museum and not a single one could work out how to use an 80's style dialling telephone.

Seems an appropriate place to put this.

Whereas the excesses of past generations are responsible for global warming and baby-boomers especially, have had the privilege of having the cushiest economy of all time.
