My boomer trait is that I frequently type in my password where the username is supposed to go. What's yours?

I prefer calling people to texting them.

But I also don't like being called.

I guess those are my two wolves.

You’re a living personification of “Don’t call us, we’ll call you.”

Doesn't that just mean you schedule calls over text? That step is not very boomer of you

[-] underreacting@literature.cafe 2 points 5 days ago

Nah, I'll call without warning "just to chat"... or because I get frustrated trying to make plans over text.

But I get anxious and/or annoyed when my own phone rings without warning, and might not even pick up haha.

these aren't mutually exclusive. you prefer communicating verbally, but don't like being intruded upon. that's fair.

now if you go and call people without warning... yeah there's some irony lol

[-] underreacting@literature.cafe 3 points 5 days ago

Yeah, I'm fully hypocritical in this regard. I'll call people randomly "just to chat" with no notice haha.
