Today fucker. Why you got to remind me I just turned 40. Fuck!
Happy birthday grandpa!
Happy birthday, that’s a big one.
Time to buy a sports car. I love my new midlife crisis car
When the moms at the skatepark seemed too young to flirt with.
Shortly after turning 34, it occurred to me I was closer to my 50th birthday than 18th.
Yeah somewhere between 32 and 34. So long youth, I guess I had my go.

Can confirm at this point that they were making it up as they went… Just like I am now.
My joints were already telling me I’m old. Did you really have to point that out to all the other 34 year Olds on here?

I was at Warped Tour many years ago, talking with randos in the campground. I mentioned which bands I was there to see, and this guy gave me a huge smile and yelled ‘You’re old’ in my face.
I went in 2018 and only went for/recognized reel big fish… Wuf
When I noticed how excited I get about good quality appliances.
IMO fuck everyone who doesn’t care about good quality appliances. They are to blame for how common shitty ones are these days. Especially developers who just get something that looks nice but actually sucks when you use it.
Glares at oven that takes forever to preheat, doesn’t keep the temperature even once it does, and has a drawer oven that takes even longer to preheat than the shitty main oven takes to preheat and COOK things
I sell appliances and the number of times I hear “It’s for a rental”, as a reason to get the cheapest thing, is depressing.
As someone that is on the marketing side of individuals renting condos for vacations, the ones that buy the quality stuff, are able to get more revenue per booking, and a better retention. It not only applies to the kitchen, but to things you wouldn’t expect, like sheets, towels, and toilet paper. Go cheap on any of those, and you’ll read about it in a 2 star review.
Hey thanks that’s actually a good point.
I’ve been quite poor my whole life. For me simply having the appliance, in my own apartment, is amazing. One year I lived in a little place with a little washer and dryer in the closet. It was incredible. The washer didn’t drain right, and the dryer would go for hours without drying the clothes, but it was still amazing because it was the first time ever I’d had a washer and dryer of my own that I didn’t have to go outside to use.
I was at a cocktail party a couple of weeks ago, and had an engaging conversation with 4 other dads about our choices and regrets in kitchen appliances…and lawnmowers.
I took four naps on my day off. I’m 32.
That may as well just mean you’re overworked (or something else) though. I do stuff like this in my 20s
Could be a nutrient deficiency, too. I’ve gotten myself out of that exhausted state with b-complex and magnesium supplements. It’s quick, too, if that’s the real problem. I felt normal and alert again within 15 minutes of taking the supplements.
I hesitate to nap on a day off because if I’m not careful I’ll just wake up the next morning and my day off will be gone.
Typical home-office day. Minus the 2 seasons.
Well, throwing out my lower back bending over a table a couple weeks ago sure didn’t help…
The worst I have ever thrown my back out was picking up a pair of scissors. I was in my 20s.
Yep. It hit me at 32. I literally wasn’t even bending over. I walked about 30 feet in my house and by the time I got to the couch I was in terrible pain
Within the past few years, once my neck problems started getting worse and I finally went for an MRI and was diagnosed with arthritis.
0/10, do not recommend.
My MIL has had really good luck with non-thc CBD creams for arthritis. Done it daily for the the last couple of years and she swears by it. Don’t have personal experience with it, but she recently opened a jar of pasta sauce in front of me and didn’t blink. Hope you get some relief.
When a little boy in the supermarket called me “sir”… I’m 18
When I realized I could say “I’ve been doing this for 20 years”.
When I honestly felt that what my homemade juice/blended smoothie thingy needed more of was celery and that without enough celery it was too sweet and lacked body. That was the day there was no more pretending. Only a year before had I suffered through my first back injury, so they can go together.
Otherwise, the beginnings of it for me were when I noticed warming up for physical exercise took longer. 10-15 minute bicycle commutes used to require no warm up at all. Then I’d feel warmed up only by the end of them. That’s when I knew I was turning the corner.
I was speaking to someone at a party recently and realised they where both in their 20s and born after 9/11. Was quite a moment.
Hell, I clearly recall the space shuttle Challenger tragedy. I even vaguely recall when Reagan was shot.
Politicians being younger than me.
Damn, you must be like 100 or something.
you know there is now a member of the US Congress born in 1997, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_Frost
At my BF’s cousin’s 18th birthday party, a small family do at the uncle and aunt’s house. The living room was full of people 60+, so as 30 something young people we naturally headed out into the hallway to hang with the cousins and their friends. All these young people barely registered us and just moved aside to let us past, they didn’t even look at us, just carried on talking to each other. We got to the kitchen and looked at each other and just went oh shit, we’re old aren’t we. Grabbed drinks and headed back to the old folk, at least they would speak to us!
