Can I give you a check? The answer should always be no.
If someone is holding up the line in the grocery store writing a check, you can bet they’re a baby boomer.
Actually Go to the Bank
If you really have to go to your actual bank, which is highly unlikely, at least use the drive-thru or the automatic transactions through the ATM.
Baby boomers actually still go to the bank...regularly!
Light Cigarettes with Car Lighters
Smoking? Inside your own car? You can never get rid of that smell.
No one uses these anymore, maybe to stick in a phone charger.
Use Physical Dictionaries
Once upon a time, if you wanted to know the definition of something you looked it up in the dictionary.

Wear Socks With Sandals
According to some boomers, mainly old dads, of course, this is the perfect combination of casual and safe. Sandals are great for casual wear. You can just slip them on show up anywhere, add a sock for protection. Unfortunately, this type of boomer-logic is wreaking havoc in the fashion world.
Even worse, not only is this look terrible, but it's also really, really old. Not even "boomer" old. Yep. It goes way back. According to archeologists, elderly Romans wore socks with sandals roughly 2000 years ago. So, it's a generational thing we guess.
