why are old people so uptight

learned it from their parents... which I’m guessing is your generation? 

My generation would more likely be your grandparents and I can assure you that any child of mine would have raised their children to have manners.

my grandma is actually the most rude of all of us 

also i deal with people her age every day due the kind of clientele we attract at my work , and they are by far the most rude and entitled 

It's too bad you have condemned an entire group of people based on just the ones you've dealt with.  We aren't all that way.

You tell 'em Spunky. Quite the opposite has been true for me. I've mellowed out and tend more to roll with the punches. When I was younger, I threw the punches.

I've mellowed some myself.  At this point, I'm more likely to walk away from and totally ignore someone than get into an argument with them. 

wow it’s almost like that isn’t exactly what your generation does with millennials 

I am not responsible what everyone in my generation does or how they treat anyone else.  I can only speak for myself, the same applies to millennials.  There are some good and some not so good.  Perhaps my generation doesn't care for the way many millennials treat us as though we are useless, behind the times, as though having manners and not being rude is an annoyance.  There are several millennials in my family, all of whom were raised well and who treat others with the respect they wish to be accorded. 

Spunky you rock!!!

Thank you.  You do, too. :)

Well at least she have met some of them ;-))

Hi Spunk~ Big Smiles to you from the Merlin household :) :)

Hi there.  Haven't seen you on her much lately. 

i assault anyone who still uses a flip phone

Perfect example.
  It baffles us why you would be so uncivil to someone simply because of their choice of phones.
Your first response: Assault.  That isn't funny.  That is flat-out, scary.

There is an extremely slim chance an older person using a flip phone is going to violate you or impose any danger.

  its actually a joke and i dont care what kind of phone someone uses

I carry a bag of old phones to throw at Millennials. They never see me because they can't look up from their iPhones.
