Yes. The sad part is, that's a minor grievance toward their parents' generation on the part of the Boomers (who, it's worth noting, sent their own leading-edge Millenial children off to a fight in a war that amazingly proved to be even more disastrous and pointless than Vietnam).

Thanks! I came by to post my own submission in this thread and couldn't resist the joke.

He might have been put off when you joked that "size matters."

It's not my main submission (because they asked for "insane"), but I've had a couple of those mortification stories, too. One was second-hand and happened at my high school (which had a lot of film industry kids). My friends and I were being idiot teenaged boys and insulting the heartthrob stars of a teen movie on a…

I've had celebrity encounters, but my most insane one was with a semi-celeb. It was a winter evening in the early 2000s and I was wandering about the old Balducci's market on 6th Ave, shopping for gourmet goodies but mostly cadging free samples of their fine Italian fare.

What's the harm, right? It's not like you'd be injecting chemicals into him.

Does your dream first date end with the guy walking away and then turning around at the last moment to say "Just one more question..."?

No, because a well-adjusted and grounded person wouldn't call it a "daddy issue." She'd call it a "daddy and mommy issue" or, if she was even more mature than that, "good role models." What she implies is that she expects "new daddy" to do all the work to maintain princess's dream marriage. She already has him jumping…

Who has the pool on how many months it will last? I'll take 79.

Agreed on going to a strip club in general. I'm a straight male horndog and have no problem with consenting adults engaging in sex work, but the one time I went to a strip club for a bachelor party I made my excuses after less than an hour. Even though it was supposed to be a high-end gentleman's club the whole…

I'm covered on all the security basics, but I leave the Pipl and Spokeo and other stuff up there. Why? Because according to all of them I'm a man in my 70s who lives on a "millionaire's row" in a city I no longer live in, who's related to people I don't know from Adam. Oh, and here's one that has me at an address I…

I'll certainly take it over the NFL.

He's talking about Bill Belichick (known liar and cheater) not Bill Nye (known Science Guy).

I can guarantee you that the same old crank and his wife constantly complain to their friends about the opera dying because kids today are too lazy and impatient to sit through one.

They do take a lot of credit for the accomplishments of the Silent Generation, don't they? The Boomers may have attended Woodstock, but the people who organised it and performed on-stage were from the older generation. It's no wonder the Boomers morphed into the suburban "Bourgeois Bohemians" (a term of approval…

Dunham–the child of New York artists who are successful but are definitely not household names

That's a good guess. If so she's probably puzzled that they don't understand how she needed that affair, for her own health and self-actualisation. Don't they remember how unhappy she was in her marriage, and how they did nothing to help her? Kids today can be so selfish.

That's the tell: the person who can't see herself as the common factor in all those toxic relationships. Nope, everyone else is the problem and she's just perfect!

The whole thing is amazing, since the whole culture of giving every kid an award for just breathing was a Boomer thing to begin with, mainly because they thought it would reflect well on them as parents. But now that "culture of self esteem" just magically instilled itself in the Millenials.

Good for you. I hope you enjoy the same sense of liberation and unburdening that I did last year when I cut a toxic person out of my life.
