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 I was going
to lay a bunch of *&+^ 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 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
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! You wanted to steal music, you had to
hitchhike to the 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 stuff 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, 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'
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 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 out of luck!
Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was
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 hooped when it came to channel surfing! You
had to get off your butt 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!
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 JiffyPop thinggy 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,from "The over 30 crowd"

lo thats a good one!!!!!!!!
for my first Barbie Doll i had to save my 25 cents a week for 8 weeks and then send it in to a cereal company and wait another 2 months for it to come in the mail.
there were no options of just running out to get one.

Hehe, its 5 years to go to 30, but I really enjoyed the reading ^^

I remember when I got a brand new SegaII 16bits at the age of 10.. And I was like: YEEHAAW!!

Remember the 1st channel changers you had to push the buttons down till they clicked? Thus the term "Clicker" I believe.

LOL

The phone at our house was on one of the last exchanges to get swapped over, we were on a party line (shared between 6 homes - with a operator).

this post is too funny

WOW That's weird. I could never survive back then.

OMG! Too funny! I still have my cassette tapes full of @#$%ed up music that I taped off the radio! I hope you don't mind but I had to copy this so I could let my husband read it. He doesn't have a marapets account and I really wanted to share this with him. And worst of all there was no marapets! LOL

LOL...Never mind the big brother! Our remote had a long cord....Just follow the cord my mom used to say.

That bought back memories ROFL the pop corn went more over the floor. No remote hog just a big brother who use to boss us girls to get up and change the channel and the phone we never got one till I was a bit older (14) and it was one with the round dial and if you never went all the way round you never knew who you were ringing. Thanks for the memories
