3."The implanted bottoms, the puffed-up lips, the breast implants, the facial fillers. It’s a freak show. Doesn’t anyone want to look simply pretty in their own way? Be themselves."

—Anonymous, 73, Kansas

4."They don’t read for pleasure. You can tell from their limited vocabularies, inability to spell or write, and lack of knowledge of historical and societal topics."

—Anonymous

7."Nobody expects young people to make or answer phone calls anymore. I prefer texting for most purposes, but talking on the phone is important for business. I DJ at weddings — it's my job. Most of the couples are in their 20s, and I usually don't talk with them in real time until we meet at the wedding."

—Anonymous, 44, California

8."The stiletto nails! How do you wipe your rear end without getting an anal probing?!"

9."Leggings are not pants. And, if worn, wear them with a tunic top, a long t-shirt, or a long sweater/jacket to cover your rear end."

—Anonymous, 61, Huntsville, AL

10."'Ok, Boomer' is disgusting. We’ve got more experience and knowledge than they probably will ever have. When I was young, anyone over the age of 30 was considered to be a pig. I just laughed because they were all going to be 30 someday."

12."I’m open to all walks of life, be it gay, straight, or whatever. Life is short, do you. What I don’t understand is when Gen Z claims they don’t like titles/categories but then turn around and give themselves titles and categories."

16."No one has hobbies. Scrolling and looking good is their hobby. Colossal waste of time and of life. No one paints, pots, sews, does woodworking, cooks, does music, or crafts."

—Anonymous

17.And lastly, "I don’t understand FaceTiming from everywhere, especially the bathroom!!! Not only respect yourself, but also others around you. I really don’t need to listen to your conversation and have them hear me going to the bathroom."

—Anonymous, 49, Phoenix, AZ
