knock on some doors
When your boomer parents still think that you can apply for jobs by physically going to a business and asking if there are any jobs available, just like they did back in the day, before the popularity of the internet or pre-2000.
Dad: why don't you get off your arse and get a job.
Son: I've been looking online for weeks and applied for everything I can, there's nothing new.
Dad: Your not looking hard enough, go out and knock on some doors. That's what I did when I was your age.
Son: Dad, nobody does that anymore, employers and job agencies do everything online now. Even the job centre posts their own stuff there.
Dad: omg kids these days, don't know how good they have it. When I was your age I walked 20 miles to work and back barefoot whilst carrying a bag of cole on my back, I got paid 2 bob a week, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Son: stfu dad, stop lying and get with the times.
