Problems with the younger generation

I had a bit of a strange experience the other day it kind of reminded me of school. I'm riding my bike along a track, I slow to let two people pass.two young ish girls 18 one of whom started waving their arms about, pulling faces and making mental disability sounds at me. Although it didn't affect me much I still stop every time this happens to consider how people can be so ignorant. And how people make these judgements (to behave that way) on sight.

I've been thinking a lot about the internet lately and particularly those people who were born after it was created. I have encountered a lot of young adults around that generation, some I have spoken to seem plain rude and seem to think they know everything. I'm thinking those born in ai now will have even bigger problems and be even more complacent.

The correct terms are Digital Natives (those born after the internet was created) and AI Natives (those born after AI was born).

Maybe this sounds like I'm a bit out of touch.

  • How are they judging you to have a mental disability from you simply displaying good etiquette and letting them by?? You say this happens often?

    I`d say you are just running into some A***holes in general. There are plenty of them out there unfortunately. I get what you mean though. Ive had random run-ins with a few and it can bother me and play on my mind for a long time after, even though I and I assume you havent done anything to instigate the behaviour some display
