My old person trait is that I think 'ghosting' is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

Most people are, in fact, "old" ( i.e. over 30)
I don't get why people think that way. 30 is not that old, it would be considered old if you lived in middle ages but not now.
Average lifespan in the US is 76 years, 30 is only 8 years shy of halfway through average life expectancy.
Especially since average lifespan in the US is massively offset by the rich living longer, healthier lives, and the poor leading shorter, unhealthy, and broken lives, you're looking at 30 probably being about halfway through life for anyone who isn't obscenely rich.
If you're halfway through life, I'd classify that as "over the hill" or "old."
Now me? I've been old since I was 22, because I was always a cranky, ornery bastard.
You are all making me feel old and I'm in my twenties https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa9rwMp-Bi4
