Right off the bat i have heard this before...

To all the guys saying "this only applies to little kids" - where do you think it starts??!! Stop enabling this behavior in children, and they won't turn into adults believing it!!!

Amen!

sometimes it's true, just not every time. I was mean to a boy when I was a kid, (I'm female) it was because I liked him. XD Some children are terrible at dealing with their blooming romantic feelings. That doesn't mean you should just put up with it though, that's not what I'm saying.

Well right off the bat something i have already heard

My mother tells me this all the time, but I KNOW there is no way every boy in my 8th grade class was in love with me.

True, but he is an a*****e that likes you.

When I was younger I was taught that if a girl blows you it means she likes you.

No, I believe he has problems!

Okay... yes and no. A boy may still go for horsing around rather than come strait out and say he is interested. However being strait up mean is no good.... also a MAN would have learned better ways to express himself.

Boys...not men.

One of those sexist truisms that persists.

* their friends !!!

Lots of people are putting their heads in the sand on this topic. It's a mystery to me as to why.

Nope. Even the pre-boomer generation wouldn't give you that advice. I'm a boomer but my father always told me to follow the money. If you can get more money working elsewhere then don't hang around and move on.

Well...I MAY see some flaws in the plan...

Now this here is good advice.. And the secret behind a long life is... Just don't die..

wholesome :) i hope boomers like her know the whole ok boomer movement isn't targeted at her

Making that follow up call makes a big difference. I immigrated, and was applying to tons of jobs online. For weeks I received no replies and no interviews. I then started to call just after each submission. That same day I got two interviews lined up.

It's nice to know that's changing.

i think that's something healthy to keep in mind, boomers were part of the most intense first wave civil rights movements, they protested against wars, and some learned to overcome their own racism, sexism, and homophobia. "ok boomer" is used to insult boomers who refused to change with the times and continue to act like bigotry is acceptable.

MAGA = Mad Americans Going Ape

Can’t imagine my hubby concreting whilst wearing a suit and tie. Impractical, unsafe and uncomfortable.

Let's reverse that: "If you pay me more I might be willing to work harder."

Then they'll tell you you're spoilt for eating out

Again, if you need something ask. I am starving, could I please have food might be a good start.

No. It shows stupidity.

You'll be set for debt for life.

Why not? A lot of companies will appreciate that. Maybe they ask you to leave your job application so they can call you in case they are hiring.

I like my job, I enjoy going to work. It is possible to,be happy at work.

People really fail to grasp the relative decrease in income compared to the increase in cost of living that has happened over the last 50 years. A minimum wage job used to be a living wage. Now you need about three such jobs to stand a chance.

Yeah. Because that's exactly what everyone wants. Zero free time. /full sarcasm.

Always start in the mail room... even if there isn't actually a mail room. Just start there anyway.

Not true, even during the boomer age.

Now here is where a fifth of Whiskey might help..

Um, that's not a boomer thing... that's just sad.

There's an article out there somewhere, that showed you could pay your way through Harvard on minimum wage with something like an average of four hours work a day, and now you would need to work 72 hours a day to achieve the same (not the exact figures, but something equally crazy).

Lol, it's not like a cat, you can't just leave them with an automatic feeder

They should follow their own advice. Or is this one of those "Do as I say, don't do as I do" things?

That is one of the stupidest interview questions.

True, but we're speeding up the process
