I promise, I am probably more aware of young people's educational status than most on DU. I've even written about it a bit here.

But these examples aren't it.

It's just shitting on customer service workers for having the audacity to ask for confirmation politely. Because they deserve it for some reason?

Is it really mystifying how unpleasant a look this is?

Yeah, it could have been 1864 or 2064. Not necessarily stupid, but not really engaged either. Silent Type Dec 2025 #7

I don't see these as examples Sympthsical Dec 2025 #10

Or maybe they should know that "64" as not the month or day. I suspect OP knows more about situation than either of us. Silent Type Dec 2025 #18

These don't seem dumb. These are customer service people in precarious jobs where one little mistake can mean a firing. WhiskeyGrinder Dec 2025 #17
