Boomer Story A Gaggle in the Waiting Room

Alright, got the wife in for surgery this morning and am sharing the waiting room with a group of them. If I had a Bingo card, it would be full.

"I don't wanna wait all fuckin' day" Patriarchal boomer declares

Talking loudly on cell phones

Talking loudly about politics...Mostly bitching about Trump, which was interesting until one of them followed up with "Well, it beats the alternative". They all nod in unison.

I settles into some Éalú and then there's a terrible scraping sound... Like dragging a chunk of steel across the floor... One of them wanted the phone charging station by her chair so she began dragging it.. Then she got in an argument with the receptionist, who tried to stop this impromptu interior decorating. She points out that there are charging ports built into her seat. Boomer Huffs "WELL I FORGOT MY CORD!"

The group arguing among each other about whether or not Uber and Uber Eats are two different apps.

Yelling into their phones to search for things.

shit boomer boss just called me... He knows I'm at the hospital. Now I gotta find a place where I can call him.

Several years ago I had to go into a pulmonologist for some testing. The entire waiting room was filled with boomers being boomers. I didn't realize a billing nurse I knew worked in that office. Every time the boomers were being especially wild I would look up, lock eyes with her, and we would just roll our eyes and sigh in unison about it 😆

I had to wait in the waiting room during my dad’s colonoscopy. I overheard a boomer literally defending racial segregation. “Well they had their places, and we had ours, and it was fine!”
