Boomer blinders

A metaphor for the rose-tinted glasses effect that boomers seem to have on their world views and ideals, that ends up spreading to other people who share their social circles. Can infect millenials, Gen-X's, Gen-Z's and even some Gen-C's.
Dad always kept going on and on about how great America is, and how we have freedom and we should be proud, despite the fact that guns don't keep us safe, in fact more people are killed by guns in America than anywhere else in the world. Pop really needs to take off his boomer blinders and look at the world from reality.

Partner Blindness

Partner Blindness (PB) allows your partner to not see any of the things that needs to be done... like bathroom look like a frat house, partner blindness allows them to see it as the Ritz Carlton... garbage overflowing? PB allows them to walk right by... 5 baskets of laundry sitting on the table needing to go upstairs? PB allows for them to become very resourceful and eat on the square inch that is not covered
Is your Partner Blindness acting up? Can you not see the massive amount of dishes in the sink?

clutter blindness

A condition that occurs as a result of living in and around so much miscellaneous debris and detritus (AKA clutter), that it becomes impossible to see the object you’re looking for. Symptoms are exacerbated when said object is nestled in the mess, right in front of your face. The worst symptoms of clutter blindness seem to peak when the missing object is small, easily recognizable, of great value and/or importance, especially when you could swear to Christ you just had the goddamned thing a second ago.
wanted to go out with you guys really badly, but I spent the whole weekend suffering from clutter blindness. I was searching for my grandmother’s engagement ring, which is very valuable, shiny, important, and I desperately needed to find so I could propose to Jennifer. Luckily the clutter blindness briefly lifted after a week of searching and I was able to see that it had been on my coffee table the entire time, nestled amidst a collection of Snapple and 2-liter bottle caps, various writing utensils, two full dinner services worth of flatware, and the two sets of keys I already lost this year the exact same way, and which yes, I was coincidentally looking for! Thank you so much for asking!
