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

I have a few. And I'm not even that old (mid thirties)

  • People who talk on phone calls using airpods or similar look ridiculous in public, like they're utter lunatics talking to themselves or their imaginary friend.

  • people who view life through their mobile phones are unfortunate and sad. Like...why pay money to go see a gig if you're going to view it through your phone screen? I went to a wedding last week and I was one of the very few who was actually watching the procession with my own eyes rather through a camera app.

  • Not being on social media should be an accepted norm, not a fucking exception. This is an issue when dating, unbelievably.

the social media part - I'm so tired of justifying why I don't have Instagram or Twitter to people. They think you're weird if you don't have one. I usually just say I used to have it but deleted it because it was stressful, but I don't think I should have to justify it at all
