Had to parent a 24 year-old.

[Ozythemandias]

Maybe I'm not getting the story. So, he asks you for help and wants to show you on his phone what he is looking for (he doesn't know you direct people to this same office 10 times a day, does he?) and you proceed to harangue this stranger, call him childish, insult his parents, and give him a "lesson" on being an adult?

Well, one person in this story was acting like a tool but I'm not certain it was the young man.

Probably not the reply you were expecting either, hey?

Also, discussion of marrying ones' cousins will stop here. Thanks.

I have to agree with this. How many times have I (and probably each of you) helped elderly people or foreigners locate an address they had written on a piece of paper? Sometimes they even have the audacity to turn it around so the paper faced the person trying to help and then hold it out in front of of them so I can read what's on it!!!

I get it, we're complaining about the lack of respect prevalent these days, as I'm sure countless generations have done before us. But this example might not be the best anecdote to help illustrate that.

This thread is off the rails.

Probably should have seen this coming for a while, but now ...
