When someone is telling a story or about to tell a story, what part makes you think it's going to be interesting or boring? (kbin.melroy.org)

Whenever someone has to highlight the fact that when they're telling a story from 30 years ago or longer, that they 'didn't have smartphones'. Like yeah, I don't expect someone from 1995 to have such a device and the closest things you've got were PDAs.

I just know it's going to be some old boomer like story that'll bore me.

as a milennial who was very much alive and in school in 1995 (~5th grade for me), you may need to reimagine what a boomer is. my parents are boomers, lol.

My girlfriend (32) asked me if I was a boomer. I'm 37 😭
