Teen comes up behind me in gym. I turn around. He says nothing, just gestures with his hands. I knew what he was asking but I said “sorry, are there any words?”. I’m not hurrying up if you can’t be bothered to ask nicely how long I have left on a machine.
Being in this place gives me an interesting insight into Gen Z manners. They said millennials were entitled….
This is where I usually rip out the old “the fuck do you want?”
too scared to say words because they haven't been socialised, taught to live indoors and to not trust strangers
That sounds like Gen Alpha manners
Those kids were raised with instant gratification and devices from the moment they were born.
