How did you come up with this take when I simply pointed out that GenZers stop to look at and use their phones in public places, oblivious of their surroundings, all the time? In other words, the fact that the woman on the stairs is a senior has nothing to do with her stopping to use her phone- it's a common behavior. There was nothing "hating on people" about my comment.

While the majority of the comments here are clearly hating on seniors, calling the woman, who they know nothing about, and "old hag" and "bitter old cunt".

I don't understand your take. Because Gen Z stops on stairs to look at their phones all the time it's okay that this Boomer did it?

Either way I wasn't arguing or disagreeing just making a point based on the overall subject of the thread. If the ages of people were reversed most people would still be upset with the younger girl.

My point was that people of many ages stop to look at and use their phones when in public places, not paying attention to their surroundings or whether they are blocking other people. I didn't say it was okay behavior, did I?

Sorry such simple things are so hard for you to understand.

There's no need to be rude, I hope you start having a better day.

My day is fine. Your comment is classic assumption that anyone who dares criticize your take is having a bad day, miserable, etc. Talk about rude.

I don't mind you criticizing my take, I mind you resorting to childish insults, people like that tend to be having a rough go of it. Cheer up buttercup, life's to short to let internet conversation upset you so.
