My old person trait is that I think 'ghosting' is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.
My age
All the words of wisdom I ever needed was in Grateful Dead lyrics.
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.
My old person trait is that often prefer phonecalls over text messages.
I think people who deliver food should actually hand it to a person instead of just leaving it by the door.
I get worked up over other people's spatial awareness, especially as it relates to walking on a sidewalk or driving. People will take up all the space on a sidewalk, they will open their doors as cars are going by, they will walk out into traffic, they move around as if other people do not exist, they will stand and congregate in the middle of a walkway. I find it wildly disrespectful and dangerous. I feel like when I'm driving people are constantly putting their wellbeing into my hands and gambling that I have the skills and awareness to not let them get in a wreck or get run over. When I am walking down the sidewalk, I feel few people are managing space in a way that keeps the sidewalk available to as many people as possible while other people are basically pushing me off the sidewalk entirely so they can all walk like a wall, or bulldozer.
My old person trait is that cars should have physical buttons for at the very least climate control and media.
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.
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.
My old person trait is that I exclusively wear bathrobes unless I begrudgingly leave the house.
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.
