My old person trait is that I think 'ghosting' is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

My ankles crack like someone is throwing those little rock baggies that pop with every step way too often. I have declared that my wife finds it enduring despite her near constant shock at the loudness and frequency. Also her PT friends says I have loose ankles for which I am uncertain how to prepare or prevent for whatever fate has for me.

I think people who deliver food should actually hand it to a person instead of just leaving it by the door.

My old person trait is that cars should have physical buttons for at the very least climate control and media.

On the last one, a lot of places have switched to SMS to talk to someone faster. Even if they take just as long it's a lot less frustrating that waiting on hold.

Tabs belong below the address bar on a browser, not above. Also the menu bar should always be a thing and there should be a title bar as well, not merging the two or three (including tabs) into one single bar.

All the words of wisdom I ever needed was in Grateful Dead lyrics.

  1. Videos should be landscape, 4:3 preferably, not portrait.
  2. When I turn on a computer, it should be ready (and pref say READY) in a few seconds, not minutes and need Internet access.
  3. Email should be fully punctuated, have correct grammar and a premise, argument, and conclusions.
  4. I'm tolerant on short SMS or pager texts, but if it's used as immediate mail, all texts, IM, and social media messages should also be like #3.

Agreed. Except the part about 4:3 video. That's just upsetting to think about. "Widescreen" (anywhere from 16:9 to the 1.85:1 often used in movies) is acceptable, 4:3 is far too cramped for a pleasant viewing experience.

If you're watching on anything other than certain laptop screens, you're likely to have pillarboxing which is just wasted space that could be beautiful landscapes, helpful information, or artistic framing.

Is wanting kids to get off my lawn an old person's trait?

My ye old ass trait is to take sunglasses off when talking face to face with someone, looking people in the eyes creates a more connected conversation.
