A dad decided to challenge his Gen Z daughter to figure out three things about a U-Haul truck. The daughter, who was used to getting her information from social media and TikTok, was skeptical at first. But her dad was determined to teach her something new.
David C. Smalley is a comedian and podcaster who regularly gives us some generational humor by exposing his 19-year-old daughter Talissa to relics of the past. There have been podcasts focused on things like CDs, phonebooks, and remote controllers.
Not too long ago, Smalley challenged Talissa with navigating a standard U-Haul storage truck. She had to 1) unlock the door 2) roll down a window and 3) start the engine.
For those of us who grew up before the 90s, this might sound like the easiest challenge ever. But apparently, for Gen Z, it’s like a problem for NASA.
Although she did not do too bad at unlocking the door with an actual key, she was pretty baffled over the amount of physical labor required to simply roll down a window.
“Are you serious? They haven’t updated that?!” she exclaimed while doing the tedious hand-cranking move we all know so well. “Are you kidding me?! I would not do this every time.”
Then she faced what became the biggest challenge of all. She scanned the center console, where she’s used to seeing the ignition button. Talissa found the airbag and radio but still had no idea where to start the truck.
Talissa finally found the ignition keyhole that was hiding behind the steering wheel.
“I’m not going to make it explode, am I?” she joked as she turned the key and celebrated her victory.
If you like this story, you should look at Talissa as she was previously challenged by Smalley to work a record player.
