I've learned the most destructive question you can ask a Boomer is "what is it that you want?" They have no fucking idea, it's something they have never even attempted to ponder.

They're terminally oppositional. Whatever they want is what you don't want. So if you want what they want they stop wanting it. If you don't want what they don't want they transform into Unwant the Unwanted One and start thrashing about like a Dark Souls boss.

FR FR, I encounter this with my Dad. Dude seems to genuinely enjoy being unhappy. Whatever he's doing he will complain. Guy's got a fucking beach house in a place with pristine blue waters. He will call me from a sunny beach with a drink in his hand and complain about shit. Like wtf dude, if I was in your spot I'd be the happiest motherfucker ever.

You don't even have to go that far, just ask them "why?" or "how so?" and they look at you like this bit from Seinfeld

I've been in the "there is no masterplan" camp since day 1.

There's no reason not to take the guy at face value and I feel like he proves that over and over again
