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!

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!

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 screw 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
engaged tone, 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 mum, 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!

When you went to the movie theatre 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!

Sure, we had cable television, but back then that
was only like 15 channels
and there was no on screen 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 rat-bastards!

And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat
something up we had to use the stove or go build a
frigging 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
