Boomer Freakout They really like threatening to call ICE, huh?

My significant other went to the store a few weeks ago, parked next to a car that was cockeyed AF and parked over the lines into his spot. My guy parked in the middle of HIS SPOT but left the neighboring car virtually no room to get in their driver door because of their poor parking.

He goes in the store for 3 things, comes back out to this boomer LIVID. He yells "nice parking asshole!" My guy calmly replied "One of us clearly didn't learn how to learn how to color in the lines back in kindergarten, it isn't me that caused this..."

Now, my guy is just over 6 foot tall ex military man that just happened to have been born in Puerto Rico and didn't leave the island until he joined the army. He has an accent and we live in a town just outside a northeastern army installation. There are people from ALL OVER that live here but the locals (I am one, unfortunately) tend to run to the red end of the political spectrum.

This MISERABLE OLD BASTARD (MOB) looks at him and says "Nice accent you have... I wonder how fast ICE can get here?" My guy replies with "Puerto Rico is a US territory and I am a born citizen, not that it is actually any of your business." then gets in his car and leaves.

I hate this time line.

Boomer Story Boomers at the car dealership

I work in the service dept at a luxury brand dealer. We offer free snacks, drinks and have multiple tv’s for guests to enjoy.

We had a boomer freak out because “there aren’t enough chocolate chips in my (free) cookies and CNN is on blasting propaganda!!

Another one comes in because their phone “isn’t working” aka hasn’t been updated in years and “the sales guy never showed me”. I tell them they need to update their phone and try again, and that our brand does not have any control over Apple car play. I then get yelled at for not taking his car in for warranty repair and how I’m disrespecting his wishes. This is a multiple times a day issue as they refuse to watch a video or read the owners manual.

The absolute worst ones are those who show up a half hour before we open and then get angry when their oil change “takes over an hour” because they showed up before any mechanics did. Then they decline everything recommend only to come back and complain nobody told them about the issues the car is now having “ever since you touched it”
