Every Boomer Ever They left a voicemail... You didn't check it. You texted them back... They didn't reply. They called again... Different number. You answered... It was about the voicemail. "Can you look at my phone?" You're there for 45 minutes. Their password is their birthday. You've reset it four times. They have 4,200 unread emails... They see no problem. They screenshot the text conversation... And sent it to you. In a text. They replied to the group chat... Individually. They found YouTube... Now they know everything. They call it "the Facebook." Their ringtone is still the factory default... Full volume. Always. There's only one person they call... You always answer.
