Nostalgia with a side of irritation. Remember dial-up screeches, rewinding VHS tapes with a pencil, or trying to read a map while lost? These relics remind us that “simpler times” weren’t always simpler—just differently frustrating. Laugh now; you survived the struggle.
“Not writing ‘brb’ when stepping away from the computer while chatting online or ending the convo without saying bye.”
“To some people it’s now normal to film or take pics of strangers, then spread them around like it’s nothing.
Rescue services have literally done campaigns telling people not to film or photograph accident scenes. The fact some people need to be reminded about how it would s**k to have your, or a loved one’s emergency spread uncontrollably as entertainment, is a chilling thought.”
“Filming everywhere, anywhere, anytime. Now it has been a norm.”
“Not answering the phone every single time someone calls. I think I probably pick up 10% of the phone calls I receive…”
“I’m Gen X and I love this sh#t that has happened.
I haven’t answered the phone in 9 years unless it’s says MOM.”
“Talking openly about money like salaries, rent, or even how much you spent on something used to be considered really impolite or ‘taboo’ in casual conversation, but now it’s becoming normal and even encouraged as people push for transparency, fair pay, and breaking down financial stigma.”
“Professionals with visible tattoos and creative piercings.“
“Going out in your pajamas and dressing down.”
“Talking over someone. I swear it’s gotten worse…”
“Not answering the door. I legit freeze, stay quiet, and check my porch camera before even thinking about answering the door these days, if I am not expecting someone.”
“Playing music/videos on public transport without headphones.”
“Not so much rude but wearing trainers or hats in nightclubs was not accepted…”
“TALKING DURING MOVIES!!”
“Breaking up with someone via text. It’s still rude af for a more serious relationship if you ask me. But it is unfortunately very normalized.”
“Ghosting used to be seen as rude and cowardly, whether it was a friend or a date. These days, it’s normal.”
“Two decades ago, pulling out your phone and looking at it while talking to someone was seen as a sign that you were bored or that the other person was unimportant. Now, it’s so normal that most people don’t even bat an eye.”
“Online dating or meeting people on apps used to be ‘desperate,’ now super common.”
“Saying you had a big b**t.”
“Kids not being taught general manners and being let to run wild because they just being kids.”
“Talking back to the elders!”
