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

Mine is that a cellphone should be a phone first, instead of being a shitty computer first and a celllphone as a distant afterthought.
This might be the only actual old person trait in this thread (OP included). The rest is basically just “I don’t want to be fucked over.”
It goes along with how they've stopped calling it a user interface and started calling it a user experience. Interface implies the computer is a tool that you use to do things, while experience implies that the things you can do are ready made according to, basically, usage scripts that were mapped out by designers and programmers.
No sane person would talk about a user's experience with a socket wrench, and that's how you know socket wrenches are still useful.
