Millennials. Infants. College aged kids. Seniors. Most of those in my age range. Pretty much everyone, really.

All those groups are fuckers.

I don't like Baby Boomers very much. When I walk into a meeting and see anyone over 50 I immediately know nothing is going to be accomplished because they'll fight you tooth and nail to make you do things their way even when everyone else agrees that way is wrong. My experiences working with Boomers has me defining them as "People with a lot of experience made totally worthless by giant egos."

I think we are all ageist to some extent. If they are not, then they are probably retarded.
Some examples:
- Don't take investment advice from pre-teens.
- Always be suspect of grey haired drivers.
- Say no to a 20 year old that wants to fight.
- Say yes to a 90 year old though.
There isn't any group that annoys me in general. But almost all groups are annoying or a problem in some contexts.

I'm a firm believer that no matter what age, gender, or ethnicity you are, your ability to be a shitty human being is not limited by any of these factors. May affect the exact flavor of your shittiness, but not the extent of it.
Morons and assholes always find a way. Always.

Not an ageist, but I find that kids are fucking idiots. They're so dumb. I mean, really fucking stupid. They deserve to fail in life, and have shitty lives. The newer generation is possibly the worst generation of all time. Fuck you, children!

"Teens" and "youths".

I absolutely cannot stand anyone under the age of 12 aside from my nephew. I also dislike Boomers, but only the middle-class and up because they're so violently out of touch with what it's like to be a young person living in poverty. Some Boomers are cool, no children are, though.

Infants annoy the shit out of me, but that's not really their fault. Kids between 5 and ten are cool, just don't be an asshole to them and you're fine. Teenagers should be ditched in the forest until their 20 birthday, when they are allowed to rejoin society. Anyone over 60 is either batshit insane or very much out of touch with the things going on around them.
Boom, ageist. Do. Not. Give. A. Fuck.

Yep. This. Every single over 60ish that I know is incredibly lost. It seems past around 50, the human body just completely gives up on everything. Learning anything new, doing anything new, being anything new.
Almost like evolution is telling us something about the useful age of humans :/

I dunno if I'd go so far as to say: "After fifty, you're useless". I think it's more of a matter that most of the over fifty crowd these days are all boomers. They wasted their lives doing nothing more useful than being cogs in the machine, and now that the machine has no further use for them, they've found themselves without any sort of meaning or purpose in life. They let themselves get all wrapped up in the game, and then got so far behind that they can never catch up. They missed the point of life all together. They never stopped to ask themselves: "What would I do with myself if I didn't have to be a slave to my paycheck?" They never learned the value of teaching themselves things that matter...so now they're just lost, and when they try to push their outmoded shit on people who are ahead of the curve, they just come off as crazy or ignorant.
