There was a thread on here a couple weeks back about favorite oldies songs, and several people mentioned Blink 182 and the Backstreet Boys. I'm not sure if it made me feel old or just depressed that there are people who have such a shallow understanding of music history.0

^^All 3 happened simultaneously about 5 years ago (I was 35) when part of my wood fence in the back yard fell apart and kids from the subdivision behind me were using my yard for a short cut. Can't say that I blame them as it cut about a quarter-to-half mile off of their walk. Nevertheless, "Get off of my lawn, you young whippersnappers!" <shakes cane>...
2. When you use the word whippersnapper.
3. When you say something and you look around for your parents and realize it was coming out of your mouth.
4. The first time you say 'GET OFF MY LAWN".
• ...somebody mentions that something happened 10 years ago and you automatically default to the 1990s!
• ...4 of your 5 of your nephews are married and either have kids or are expected their first one this year. (5th nephew is 33 and might either be a lifelong bachelor or get married and have kids in his 50s)
• ...you have a 2 year old GREAT-GRAND NIECE... and you're only 40!
• ...you grew up listening to some of the most vile gangsta/hardcore rap on your Walkman and earbuds, but now you wish there was a V-Chip for FM radio!
• ...you remember when you could only get 3-5 TV channels, had 'rabbit ears' with foil on them, had pliers to change the channels, and TV actually WENT OFF THE AIR for several hours every night! <plays "Star Spangled Banner" then "test tone" and "snow">
• ...you remember when "Reality TV" came in only 2 forms: "the news" or a documentary/biography.
• ...the majority of your pop culture references and movie quotes are older than a good portion of your MFP FL!0 -
When you realize you've been out of highschool for four years.hollly efff.
