Boomer Hands

adj./noun

A mysterious phenomenon wherein someone—typically a person over 60—manages to instantly close, crash, or confuse any digital device the moment their fingers make contact with the screen or keyboard. Characterised by the accidental swiping away of important content, random app openings, or making a browser disappear with a single touch. No one knows how it happens. It just does.
