Here in Québec, dithering elders (especially drivers, but also at the supermarket) are mononcle et matante. There was a car ad some years ago "tasse-toi, mon oncle" but it was roundly criticised as of course the other end of the equation is groups of young men in cars who speed and sometimes wind up dead - indeed wasting hundreds of years in life expectancy, without even being drunk or stoned.
K2, I guarantee that boomers are getting similar reflections from younger shoppers, urban pedestrians etc even if we haven't reached a particular age.

Oh, I can feel the back of my neck burning quite often.

Sometimes the nasty voice is directed at myself.
"Who bought all that fucking ice cream, fatso?"

I belong to a Nextdoor Neighbor email site.
I have toyed with deleting my account on several occasions but, there are some posts that are worthy of being posted as they contain information, alerts and sometimes merchandise for sale that I have taken advantage of.
Of late however, there is an almost daily post about COVID19 that seems to bring out all the "crazies". The original OP most of the time is informative but it devolves into vitriolic, downright ignorant, and many inappropriate remarks, many of them turn political and people begin attacking each other.
I very often have the urge to post something nasty but force myself to refrain from doing so.
Thank goodness they provided an option to turn off all further notifications to posts on topics one doesn't want to fill their mailbox with.

I belong to my local Nextdoor, too, but I confess that I delete most of the messages without reading them, just from the title.
