The Spoiled Under-30 crowd!!

THE SPOILED UNDER-30 CROWD!!!


If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!!

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious
diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with
walking Twenty-five miles to school every morning....



Uphill... Barefoot...





BOTH ways

Yadda, yadda, yadda

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in
hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids about how
hard I had it and how easy they've got it!

But now that... I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look
around and notice the youth of today.

You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a
damn Utopia!

And I hate to say it, but you kids today, you don't know how good you've
got it!

I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we wanted to know
something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in
the card catalogue!!

There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter - with a
pen!
Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the
mailbox and it would take, like, a week to get there! Stamps were 10
cents!

Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us. As a matter
of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick our
ass! Nowhere was safe!

There were no MP3' s or Napsters! If you wanted to steal music, you had
to hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself!
Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ
would usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up! There were no CD
players! We had tape decks in our car We'd play our favorite tape and
"eject" it when finished and the tape would come undone. Cause - that's
how we rolled, dig?

We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and
somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it!

And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either!
When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school,
your mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent,
you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances,
mister!

We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with high-resolution
3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like 'Space Invaders' and
'Asteroids'. Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your
imagination!! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just
one screen... Forever!
And you could never win.. The game just kept getting harder and harder and
faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!


You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on!
You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your
ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel! NO REMOTES!!!

There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on
Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK
for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-bastards!

And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up we had to
use the stove! Imagine that!

That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too
easy. You're spoiled. You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in
1980 or before!

The Over 30 Crowd

People have to pay 7.99 a min for 2 on 1 party lines these days.

[gunner_501]

We had a 5 digit number and you could pick up the phone and ask the operator to connect you with who ever you wanted to take to. Doctors still made house calls. I didn't think envy was old enough to know what black and white tv's or 6 track tapes were .. LOL

[GW269]

I got you all beat, we had a 3 digit phone number. And when you wanted to call someone you just picked up the phone and the switchboard operator answered and asked who you wanted to call...
