Woman points out the one weirdly funny thing Millennial kids did that Gen-Z will never do

A millennial has pointed out the one thing she did as a child that the next generation - aka Gen Z - would never be able to relate to.

Comedian Tanya Hennessy, from Australia, explained it's something loads of millennial kids would do when they were younger, but it's just not a thing anymore.

In case you needed a reminder, the term 'millennials' refers to those born between 1981 and 1996.

Meanwhile, Gen Z generally references those born between 1997 and 2012.

People have spoken about some of the core differences in the past, with Jennie Longdon pointing out a strange money rule that millennials tend to have when it comes to making purchases.

Jennie took to social media to reveal the differences between 'small purchases' and 'big purchases'.

She said that for small purchases, like a takeaway, clothes or shoes, we'll buy straight from our smartphones.

Whereas for 'big purchases', like plane tickets or house deposits, millennials need a 'big screen', i.e a laptop - or even a desktop - to complete the transaction.

As a millennial, I can confirm that big purchases are a laptop job only.

There are heaps of other differences, too, with Tanya pointing out that when millennials were kids, it was standard to ring your parents at their workplace.

And not for anything particularly important, just for little things that could definitely wait until they were home.

"You know what's really crazy? Gen Z will never get this but for Millennials, this is a deep cut," Tanya explained in a video over on her Instagram.

"Why did we call our parents on the phone at their workplace? We would literally just interrupt their workday to ask them really dumb questions.

"Sometimes you'd have to talk to a receptionist before you got to your actual parent and then you'd get on the phone to your parent and go 'Oh can Sarah come over?'"

"You'd be like, 'Can I have a Paddle Pop?' And your mum's like fully at work. Sometimes you'd call them multiple times.

"And the questions were so dumb because we didn't have texts and it was weird to send a fax. I remember calling my mum at her work to ask if I could have frozen peas."

Millennials found the throwback hilarious, with many sharing their own experience in the comments.

One wrote: "It's because we were home alone A LOT. We raised ourselves and only spoke to our parents by calling them. That's why for me."

While others said that's why millennials don't like communicating on the phone.
