It’s no secret that older generations tend to use their phone differently than the younger generations. Here are four things older people do that younger folks can’t stand . . .
1. Calling people. For most people younger than about 40, a text message will suffice in just about any situation. Older people love making calls, answering calls, and talking to just about anyone on the phone.
2. Sending long text messages. If you send one giant block of text that takes up the entire screen, you might be a Boomer. Other red flags: Responding to the group chat with unnecessary comments, overuse or misuse of emojis, and forwarding things like chain letter texts.
3. Not locking the phone screen. Older people will use their phone, then put it straight into their pocket or purse. And THAT leads to pocket dials and random apps being moved or opened.
4. Unknowingly turning on the flashlight. Or using it in a restaurant to read a menu and then leaving it on. One person likened the phenomenon to driving with your car’s blinker on.
