My old person trait is that I think 'ghosting' is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

Most of these "old person traits" are stuff most people agree with, just like r/unpopularopinion. We've been cursed with reddit.
Ah hah, I see what you did. You changed it from "old people opinion" to "old people traits" because a trait would mean it's exclusive to old people, whereas the original posts terminology calling it an "opinion" didn't actually mean it was exclusive to old people. So the fact that all people share these opinions doesn't matter because technically a universal opinion is also an old people opinion. But it was certainly IMPLIED that these opinions would be exclusive to old people, otherwise they would just be called "opinions" and leave out the "old people" phrase altogether. Which is why you changed it to "traits", to call out the implication as being misleading. And that's why... Wait, I forget where I was supposed to end this comment.
I'm sorry about this, everyone.
The post said traits though?
