There you were —offering your cousin a little advice at the family reunion. And then, bam, they muttered something under their breath and walked off. It sounded like “Okay, Boomer…”

Or maybe you were out having a nice dinner somewhere, and you complimented the waitress on her hair. You asked her to smile, and she said the same thing after rolling her eyes.

Okay, Boomer…

Ugh. But that can’t be right. You’re only 29.

So you’ve been asking around, and you’re starting to realize. The term “Boomer” seems to refer to a mindset, not an age group.

Now you’re really worried. Are you one, after all? Lucky for you, there’s a short quiz you can take to find out for sure.

Let’s get started…

1. Have you ever thrown trash out of a motor vehicle while driving?

A) Never.

B) Do cigarette butts count?

C) Sometimes, but I feel guilty about it.

D) If I want to throw Arby’s wrappers and soda cans over a bridge, into the cascading river, that’s my right as an American.
