You know you are old when....

This is funny!!!!

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 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 my ass! No where was safe!

There were no MP3' s or Napsters! 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'd 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 c ould 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! 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​

Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!
