The spoiled under-30 crowd! - GoFuckYourself.com

If you are 30 or older you will what I'm talking about here....
(apologies if it's already been posted but it's damn funny!)

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious stories 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!

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 catalog!!

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!

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!

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 Boxes 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 Play Station 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!

When you went to the movie theater there was 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!

Sure, we had cable television, but back then there were only like 15 channels and there was no onscreen menu and no remote control! 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 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, you spoiled little bastards!

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 and shake it over the stove forever like an idiot.

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!

Regards,
The Over-30 Crowd

I am just wondering how much longer till I can have a COmputer just do my work for me so I can play more video games...

You older guys need to work harder and faster, I am getting tired of Keyboards I want to be able to think what I think into a Machine and send it anywhere in the world.

If you can't do it I am gonna do it.
Also I am tired of buying crappy hardware. Make shit so I can just put it in my skin to hear and watch my entertainment.

I want a better car also. You guys only got shit with 4 wheels, fuck wheels I want my flyin car that can take me from Australia to San Francisco in less than 10 minutes...

My point is...
We may work hard but the generation's under us got alot more to do, I will take that hill up two times day and I do not mind using a Microwave though I would rather just have a food synthesier to make what I want, I guess we're gonna have to save that one for them.

I remember one time buddies going in to a record store as teens and wearing big jackets and slipping an entire LP record under his jacket and shoplifting it, now that was extreme.

I also noticed that there are hardly any music stores around anymore, and of course they don't call them "record stores"

yeah we are old now

RedShoe · 11-12-2008, 09:11 PM

Ok.. I lol'd

Here's the sad part. When I was a kid w had a phone, that had a cord on it, and you had to DIAL the fucking numbers. god forbid someone had a "0" in their number, you'd be there all damn day dialing. If they had 2 "0's" you'd be better off just waiting for them to call YOU.

So that's what we had and as a kid I hated it. Now.. that I'm older and a father. I moved up to a cordless, but it's damn near a first generation. It has no called ID, no answering machine and the ring is loud and as annoying as fuck... but I LOVE THAT PHONE!

I'm sure my kids will hate it.

Oh man, that reminds me of playing Missle Command on the atari for like 6 hours, and it's basically the same screen, except it keeps changing colors. I would have trouble going to sleep at night because those fucking beeping noises between the levels was burned into my subconcious and wouldn't stop. I can recall it right at this moment, even 25 years later.

Some of you will remember this, in regard to the channel changing. Who used to get yelled at by dad for spinning the channel changing knob too fast. There were only about 28 channels, but if you had to go from 2 to 28, you had to plant your fucking feet, twist your wrist as far as it would go --- and then spin that fucker with your whole body in 0.2 seconds flat.

I won't even go into how terrified I was of getting zapped by static shocks during the winter from that giant metal channel knob.

and why every time i post do I have to see some tattoed slut screaming at a giant, sweaty black cock?

I can relate to that one. I have my grand-parents old black rotary phone and it still functions like the day it was first plugged into the wall. (early 1960's) Ugly loud ringing bell inside, though.
