Boomer dislikes being called out on his hypocrisy.
This just happened to me at a CVS and I am still baffled by the lack of self awareness some of these old people have.
While I'm at CVS, I pick up, among other things, some of my adhd meds. Boomer sees me pick them up, and while I'm getting some over the counter antifungals (yeast infection) while I'm there, he says: "Why do you kids always take the easy way out with medication?" Or something along those lines.
I look up at this man's face, and then down into his basket. And in the basket are... back pain meds...
Now, I'm not usually one to make assumptions, nor am I very confrontational most of the time, but I decided to take a stand, even if it was small.
I ask, in the most innocent voice I can make, "who are the back pain meds for, then?"
Cue the Boomer realizing that judging others can go both ways, and his face turns red. He walks away, and I go about my business.
Sorry it's not too juicy, but it's the story I have.
