The unfortunate fact is the obnoxious older Australians are very much sober and having had the benefit of being raised in a time of etiquette being important, should know better. Young people being drunk and obnoxious is not a new phenomenon.

Does being drunk excuse them for starting fights? For having a meltdown when they turn up at the ferry terminal drunk, 20 mins before departure and start screaming when no tickets are left?

Older people generally get obnoxious when the level of service they pay for isn't provided. Younger people seem to complain when they don't get top class service even though they book the cheapest thing they can find.

We are now seeing a generation who were brought up to expect everything for nothing.
What's more, rather than do stuff outside for real, they prefer to sit on their backsides and pretend they are doing it on an iPad. Then they believe they have really done it.
If it involves hard physical graft, forget it. Either a machine or someone else should be doing that.

Thats very clever because if you swap the two protagonists around it is still a true statement!

If you fly LCC, at least in Australia, both statements are true.
