It seems that us millennials are guilty of having a weird quirk when it comes to online shopping.
Jennie Longdon, from the UK, has exposed those who were born between 1981 and 1996 for being unable to purchase items like 'normal people'.
Remember when we used to go outside to buy things?

My food shop, clothes shop and pretty much everything else is online now.
However, there are still rules when it comes to online shopping as a 29-year-old.
The radio presenter 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, we need a 'big screen', i.e a laptop - or even a desktop - to complete the transaction.
I can honestly admit that I've never made a big purchase on my phone.
"For big purchase, we have to get the laptop out. Why are we like this?" Jennie said in her video.
"I don't know. We cannot make a big or significant purchase on the phone. You can't browse properly."
It seems a lot of millennials felt the same way in the comments as one person wrote: "Big purchase requires the big internet."

"I will literally look at the information on my phone, then go get my laptop to go to the same site to book it," a second joked.
"I had to buy a new laptop so that I could look at new cars online!" a third added.
Meanwhile, one person opened up about the horror story of trying to book a holiday on her phone.
"I booked a mini break on my phone once and I accidentally refreshed the page with my thumb midway through booking," she commented.

"The hotel rang me that night and asked where I was. The form had refreshed and reverted back to today's date! And I wasn't entitled to a refund. Never again, always a laptop or desktop from now on.
"Laptop... nope. That's a desktop job! I need a proper keyboard and a big screen if I'm booking anything! And I screenshot everything in case there's no email receipt."
Although, it seems Gen-Zers (born between 1997 – 2012) in the comments were dumbfounded by our ways.
"My partner bought our house all on his phone," one wrote.
"I booked flights, accommodation, and extracurriculars for four people on my phone recently,' another mum said. "I was so proud."

"I'm a millennial and I just booked my vegas hotel and flights on the phone. it's.....fine....." added a third.
