If there's not a "jump to recipe" button, I'm not even considering scrolling to the recipe.

I still want a CLEAN paper menu! Is that too much to ask?

I don't like this either or that they invent a gadget for literally anything, (that is easy to do) when we have hands

If you don't have some dumb attitudes before you're 25, you're not 'normal'. After that, it's then a refusal to review those attitudes that becomes your problem.

It gets so confusing and frustrating!

Very distracting indeed when you look through 4 screens to figure out how to lower the temperature. Some cars are better than others.

Now you can't even sustain one person on a single income

That's not old-fashioned, that's just about whether you're a civilised human being or a feral shitbag.

I went back to France for the first time in two years and was very surprised to see "indices de réparabilité" on all electronic devices and appliances. For those who don't speak French, it is reparability index and means how easy it is to repair something. I don't know how much it influences buyers, but I think it is good to have manufacturers and consumers think about it.

Everyone puts their phone face down. The first one to picks theirs up gets the bill for everyone else.

As a person with lots of experience in Customer Service/ Helpdesk: this is the future. ALL corporations are drooling for a proper AI that correctly recognises voices. As soon as a good one is on the market, thousands of people will loose their jobs, on top of other administrative tasks being moved to southeast asia to cut the costs even further

Loud music turns into a mush. You can no longer distinguish the nuances from it and your ears hurt. Who wants to purposely be uncomfortable and suffer from tinnitus for the rest of their lives? The music is too loud even in shops, not to mention the cinema. I read a while ago that a woman suffering from misophonia found a solution in earplugs intended for this, which dampen the sound, but not as much as traditional earplugs. Sounds heavenly.

Some of the best lessons I learned in life was screwing something up 14 ways from tuesday and getting called out on it.

Especially when paying for parking and there’s a different app for each car park.

Per *se

No one is watching your concert videos. Take 10-15 seconds of your favorite song to remember the experience and then put the phone DOWN.

This makes me sad. I was looking at street view of inside the Louvre and about 90% of people had there phones in their hands; taking selfies, pics of the art, or just texting. Put it down and appreciate the amazing art you just spent a ton of money on to see!

I've expressed the same opinion in BP comments, and I got downvoted for it.

This!

Well ... I use photos a bit like a journal. I take photos of places, food etc. so when I scroll through my photos it's like a little journal, reminding me of stuff. Also to send to friends and family but I deleted my Insta, Facebook etc. because there was just too much noise of things and people I didn't even subscribe to or are interested in.

I'm a Boomer, and all of my friends are Boomers. We rarely post everything about our day. Usually, asking for prayers, because God knows why, and we need help us all that is said. We don't like others knowing our business. There's texting, and messengers for that. We do like our: congratulations on being promoted, or a new birth in the family. Posting a celebration for birthday's, anniversaries, and holidays. I really don't know anyone that documents everything to social media. Most of us are usually happy with just having Facebook. Yes, I do have a lot of friends.

Gave up Facebook this year and less stressed. One distant relative posted every thing with photos all day, felt obligated to like, that her headache was gone and she had a nice hot bath. Je ne regrette rien.

Really, nobody cares about everything you do, think or have to say 🤔

I also don't want to know what everyone is eating in a restaurant either. Especially if I wasn't invited. Lol.

Boomers did these things without ”social media” but just telling everyone. There's no real difference in terms of technology.

Amen!!

This is very annoying! I don't care if someone had T-bone steak for lunch, it got a new box of cookies from the local bakery. It's just not post worthy. But I do love the posts animals. Still stupid, but so cute.

Yes *long dramatic sigh*

Another hero! I don't have any on line presence. I take photos and videos for my job and send to the owner of the company. She (an all woman owned and run business), and yes, we do hire men, and she posts to the firms various social media platforms. I want nothing to do with them. I have a life and my email is more than enough for me to deal with. Volunteer, hobbies, pets, gardening, cooking and baking, take dogs in a beach or park run. Sitting in front of a computer for hours after I arrive home? Nope, never gonna happen.

YES

Narcissists desperately seeking attention are the people posting every moment of the day online, then complaining and making threats to "clear their friends lists" or "cancel their account" if they don't think enough people "liked & shared" their emotional post about the scrambled eggs they had for breakfast.

I document everything I do but keep it private. That info might be useful later, especially when it's how I solved a problem.

*whispers* it's per se. Apologies from the Grammar Geek

Especially if you're young and dancing in front of a fire that's destroyed homes and killed people as you wear a smile for the camera.

I watched a Dave Matthews concert and the person in front of me watched her phone.

THIS should be at the top! Life is passing you by people!

I completely understand documenting special/rare events, but taking hundreds of photos of your trivial daily routine is just weird.

I just walk straight into em'

This!

Phone screen keyboards make me feel like I have fat fingers.

yep, it's something like 2% in firstworld countries and almost non-existent in others.

Or internet connection. Why should the NSA know what's in my fridge?

Some cheap pieces can last very long time (but may not be sustainable), some expensive clothes are of poor quality (and not sustainable as well), you have to keep eyes open.

Stop buying phones without a headphone jack!

This is the truth. F**k planned obsolescence.

LED headlights when they fail. Old headlights much simpler, bulb fails, get bulb and replace but thanks to LED tech so many headlights need to be fully replaced and dumping the whole unit is just so wasteful when you have all the companies talking about how environmental their cars are. Things should be more modular.

or use HEADPHONES

Okay, but "emotionally" is true, too. Like 80% of the modern media are those bleak grimdark craps without a shred of positivity and sincerity which think that "mature" means "extreme violence, gore and erotica".
