Like, remember the days before needing a million subscriptions?!
Here are a few of them.
“Don’t talk at the movies.
“When you’re driving and changing lanes or turning onto another street, use your blinker.
It takes almost no effort.
I’m not a mind reader; I don’t know where you’re going.
But I will if you just learn to use the blinker properly.”

“They completely blew the premise that technology was supposed to make our lives easier.
It’s way more complicated than it was ever supposed to be.
I’d take the simple tech we had in the ’70s over this crap.
You shouldn’t have to be able to program a computer to use a phone.
I don’t need a smart BBQ grill or dishwasher either.
Start removing unnecessary features rather than adding them.”
“I really hate the constant bombardment of ads when I read an online news article.
I NEVER look at the ad; I don’t want it and don’t care.
And how about the 30-second videos that start with a 60-second ad?
Not doing that!”
“Stop driving at the same speed as the car next to you on a two-lane road.
Either pass them and move over or get behind them and drive the same speed.
“Nearly everything requires a subscription.
Every subscription needs an account.
Every account needs a password.
With all this, you’ve got the option to’t live without a password manager.
I have over 200 entries in mine.”
Just enjoy the show and don’t experience every second of it through your phone.
I swear, being in the moment is much better.”
“Why are commercials twice as loud as the TV shows?
I constantly have to adjust the volume for commercials.
If the point is making sure I hear the ads, it isn’t working.
Instead, I turn the volume all the way down.”
“Stop pushing the stroller while on the phone in a busy intersection.
Your child’s life depends on you paying attention!”
“Give me a person if I’m calling you on the phone!
As a millennial, I don’t call companies or people all that often if I can avoid it.

I didn’t make plans with you just to watch you be on your phone.
If you are SHOWING me something on your phone, then that’s fine.
“Not everyone sees your children as precious angels.
If they are disruptive during a meal service, hey leave.
Certain events and places are also not child-friendly do not bring them there.
Either make arrangements for them or do not attend.
Stop making your children everyone elses burden.”
A ticket isn’t just about getting into the venue; it’s a souvenir.

I just change cars.)
People used to apologize, but now they blame you for being annoyed by their bad behavior.”

“Elder millennial here.
You probably won’t find me at a concert ever again.
“Does everything have to be reviewed?
Businesses succeeded and thrived long before Google, Trip Advisor, and all the rest of it.”
“Touch screens in cars should literally be illegal.
They are inherently dangerous because they ALWAYS require taking your eyes off the road.
