      And it really ramps up the older you get. I always thought i’ll never be out of touch, because i grew up with the internet and i play video games with often younger people i assume. But then i worked with 3 electricians for example. They were super far behind because they sat on their phones a lot (not just, but it didn’t help.) i didn’t want to be that guy so i just let them be. It was quite surreal to me to see a bunch of guys playing fortnite on their break. The problem was that i look really young, so they often think i’m one of them. So i pulled one of them aside and told them that they are like 2 weeks behind and need to be finished in a week and they really need to get their shit together. He dabbed at me, said okay and went to work. I thought this is some “i think you should leave” skit.

          It was bizzare. I think he absolutely regretted it mid dab but it was already too late. I imagined his two colleagues fortnite dance on his ass to make fun of him.
