One of the most irritating things about hanging with boomers is that they always have their phone ringer on and set to 11/10

And then they take 10 minutes to get the phone out of their purse and/or pants

And then they just stare at it while they figure out who is calling

OMG YES.

My mom will look at the damn text and try to read it via preview while her ridiculously long notification is still playing. And forget it if MULTIPLE notifications come in one after another. If you dont turn that shit off!

When she upgraded phones a few months ago, I told her if she selects that notification sound again, I would throw her phone out the window lol.

I'm still trying to get her to stop putting every conversation on speakerphone. The woman has hearing aids she can hear just fine. It's a habit.

She should look into hearing aids that stream audio directly to them. Mine does that and lets me take calls and watch videos/listen to music directly through them
