The OG mad scientist
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 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!
1. 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 catalog!!
2. 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!
3. 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 would usually talk
over the beginning and @#*% it all up!
4. 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! Can u say
emergency break-thru's..until the operators caught on!
5. And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone rang,
you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, < BR>your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn't
know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!
6. 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' and the graphics were horrible! 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!
7. W hen you went to the movie theater there no such thing as stadium
seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy or some old
broad with a hat sat in front of you and you couldn't see, you were just
screwed!
8. Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 15
channels and there was no onsc reen menu! You had to use a little book
called a TV Guide to find out what was on!
And 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!
9. And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up, we
had to use the stove or go build a fire ... imagine that! If we wanted
popcorn, we had to use that stupid Jiffy Pop thing or a pan with HOT oil
and Real popcorn kernels and shake it all over the stove forever like an
idiot.
10. When we were on the phone with our f r iends and our parents
walked-in, we were stuck to the wall with a cord, a 7 foot cord that ran
to the phone - not the phone base, the actual phone ne. We barely had
enough length to sit on the floor and still be able to twirl the phone
cord in our fingers. If you suddenly had to go to the bathroom - guess
what we had to do.....hang up and ta lk to them later.
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!
