what-even-is-thiss:

My grandparents are baffled when we just don’t care about certain things. The last time we did a socially distanced lunch they were complaining that our neighbor keeps really old broken cars that he likes to work on in his front yard and we were like “Yeah, and?” and they didn’t know how to respond to that.

Like the very idea that we would just mind our own business and tolerate mildly annoying behavior from other people is like rocket science to them. They just can’t comprehend it.

Back before society exploded I would go window shopping with my grandma sometimes because we both like to gawk at things that we can’t afford and she would always point out when someone was doing or wearing something unusual and every time I would respond to her with “And? How is that our business?” and she was somehow surprised by my reaction every time.
