boomer text
When you text a boomer, and they answer your text by calling you. Quite often, boomers will reference some or all of the content of your text
in their call, while simultaneously sounding like they haven't read it. Reasons for boomer texts range from laziness, to lack of basic smartphone awareness. Boomer texts can be very annoying as the person sending the text could very well be in a loud environment, or just not have time to talk on the phone. The boomer however, is inconsiderate of possible circumstances why a person chose to text them instead of calling, and places their own convenience as top priority.
Example
Millennial texts boomer: I'm gonna make a run over to Jack in the Box.. you want anything?
Boomer calls: Hey, so you're going to Jack in the Box?
Millennial: ...yeah... did you not read my text?
Boomer: oh yeah I just got it.. well go ahead and get me a (burger and fries)
