dear millennials

i’m 45 years old and i can assure you confidently that back in ‘my day’ we did NOT all chat merrily with our seatmates on the bus

people on public transport were as tired and/or obnoxious back then as they are today, and i WISH i could’ve been texting my friends on the way to work in 1990, and i woulda if i coulda

instead we listened to non-rechargable battery powered walkmans and read the newspaper and pretended we didn’t notice the guy next to us leaning in all night train burps and tobacco teeth to ask for a dollar

and unlike you, we didn’t have a way to call the cops if he followed us off the bus

what i’m saying is the mobile phone is a beautiful thing and people who whine about you using it in public are just losers who want attention

godspeed
