Today, I was leaving the grocery store when an old woman started yelling at me for not holding the door open for her. She accused me of being "everything wrong with the younger generation". It was an automatic door. FML

Some people just look for excuses to shout and rant at something. I'm sure of it were a normal door you would have held it open for her! I swear people all over the place just want to use "Well, back in my day..." Keep doing what you're doing OP! :)

I've been raised to respect my elders. But if they act entitled and insult you like this lady, I really don't feel like he/she should be respected.

The more entitled an old person (or anyone else for that matter) behaves, the less I'm inclined to respect them. Respect goes both ways!

She's an example of "everything wrong with the older generation" - crabby technophobes.

My dad is also like that and he's in his 50s! Not so much with online things because he can book a flight and do taxes just fine. But just last week I had to spend a good 2 minutes assuring him that his Word document was saved despite the fact that "the screen didn't change when I clicked save". And even though this stuff has been around for quite a bit of his life, and will be for the rest of it, he says he has no desire to learn how to use technology.

One of my friends dads wouldn't get a router because "they had enough radiation in their home already."

This happened to me once too. Only she was a middle aged woman. She gave me this super dirty look and asked me "didn't your trailer trash mother teach you any manners?" I laughed in her face.

Wow, are you for real? I wish I was witty cause I would love to shut her up and make her realize the idiot that she is. Shoot. That made me mad. People suck.

Don't hypocrites like this realize the irony of the situation, and that THEY're being the rude pieces of shit? I would have loved to put her in her place.

I would've been like "Hey, stupid bitch, didn't anyone ever teach you that an automatic door opens by itself?" And that is the nice version.

I wish I had said something, but I was in a rush and didn't want to give her any of my precious time

It's technically true. I hate my generation as a freshman, but in this situation it wasn't applicable. She's just an odd duck.

All generations suck. The generations prior will always pick on the younger generation while their generation had it's idiots. Just think, it wasn't our generation that was pre dominately racist or sexist. We are a more accepting generation.

the only thing that truly sucks about your generation (not sure if its mine too considering i am late 20s) is that so many of you decidr to hate on each other and write each other off. you mrs/mr i hate all of my genration because of a fee bad eggs, are the true problem.

The thing that gets me is that the older folks who pick on this generation are the ones who raised/taught us. Granted, I've seen my fair share of idiots, but shouldn't the parents take a wee bit of responsibility?

I guess automatic doors were not around in her days...she'll probably be the only one that will ever say anything...
