My most boomer complaint is when people don't know what I mean when I say "let's meet at the eastern entrance of the building".
Especially when you live in a roughly compass oriented grid city, this is unacceptable.
Kids these days
(I'm not a boomer)
I would imagine most of us Europeans would have difficulties with that. "compass oriented grid city" hasn't really been a thing here since Roman times.
Lol, yeah, the fucking building at work kills me.
It's well off the road and is not congruent with it, It has two viable fronts and since not quite 45° to the compass rose but not far enough off to use it to the description.
Can't say north south east west can't say roadside can't say front so I can't say left or right.
Labeling where IT equipment is is such a fucking pain in the ass.
There are fire stairs on either side of the building and they do not differentiate them.
I could probably do NE and SW But it just feel so fucking dirty.
I just called the sides East and West in the end even though they're nowhere near.
At least the rest of the IT staff could figure out east and west if we were compass oriented I would totally not feel bad about using it
