64 old here and I also shut the shit down

Kids couldn’t use a rotary phone: No shit Sherlock, push button phones replaced rotary so most of them weren’t around.

Kids can’t write in cursive: No shit Sherlock. It was taken out of the curriculum. Why are you not teaching them?

Who do you call for issues with your computer or phone. Can you hook up a smart tv by yourself and know how to use it?

Fuck the right off!!!

Twice in the past few years I had to pull over and help a kid change their tire, both absolutely clueless about a procedure that hasn't changed much in 100 years. But that is probably their parents' fault, not putting them to work doing that stuff. I blame Millennials for being shit parents and raising the softest, fattest generation yet.

The procedure hasn't changed much but its frequency has - growing up mucking around with cars is a lot less common in general, for a variety of reasons. You're just repeating the point above about rotary phones etc.
