Seriously, it’s not possible. Outside of Carthage and Technochtitlan, it is hard to imagine that there has ever been a more detestable, more justifiably hateable collection of people on the planet:
Now I understand the grandma hate..
Hate is a strong Word.
l’ve heard my entire husband’s side of the family gripe about grandma for about a decade now. It always seemed like little things that just made me sad for her because ‘aww she’s just old.’
Well. Grandma came over with the fam for a quick visit. Just a pass through. Maybe 40 minutes.
In that time, grandma makes her way up to my tiny garden up the hill and starts plucking away at my peppers. Proudly shows me the load and tells me I wasn’t paying attention to my garden because I had all these peppers ready.
They were all green.
I told her they were red peppers and hadrït had the chance to turn red yet. Her response: “Well they worït turn red now.”
And just walked off.
If there had been SOME REMORSE OR APOLOGY, I could get past it but it was her “sucks for you” attitude…. Thank god my husband understands because the way I ranted and raved that afternoon.
It’s always somewhat amusing how the only people who defend the Boomers are those with absolutely zero direct experience of them. This is why you do not EVER call even the most grizzled member of GenX a Boomer, even in jest. We were hating them before the Millennials were even born.
It took this woman just 40 minutes to learn to hate Grandma. Now imagine what it must have been like for those unfortunate younger GenXers who were raised by people like that as children…
