What's your "old person" trait?
(feddit.ch)
My old person trait is that I think 'ghosting' is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.
Sometimes, in jest of course, if someone asks me for some permission using "Can I [...]?" I reply "I am sure you CAN but you MAY not" :)

Merriam-Webster Dictionary says:
So you're not only being petty, you're also plainly wrong
Huh, TIL that my old person trait is being petty and plainly wrong.
Relax, you are reading too deeply into things. This is a light and good-humored thread, please don't spoil it by making personal attacks. There's Reddit for that kind of behavior, it will fit right in.
I wasn't trying to make any personal attack or really even be snarky or whatever. My attempt at humor just didn't land.
Dad Laws dictate that when my children ask, "Can I have a popcicle?" that I must reply with, "I dunno, can you?"
Edit: Oops! Just saw that you weren't replying to me. The thread makes more sense now.
No worries, we're good. Cheers :)
