You know you have more than 40 years if these things annoy you

Is it too much to ask everyone to file his phones?!


Is there something more ridiculous than the cliché of the old cantanker man, waving his fist in the air and scream, "you are kids kidnapped from my lawn?"

Crowds

Modern slang

Refuge

If something is "salty", it means that you put too many salt on it. That's it. End of the story. Any other definition is Gibberish, pure and simple. Listen, we get it, every generation has its own unique slang. But we never get used to people who say "lol" when they mean that something is funny. You laugh or you are not;describing Laughter with an acronym slang is not the same as a real gufa. And for slang words that everyone more than 40 know, checkYou know you have more than 40 years if you use these words.

Refuge

No, no, there was a misunderstanding. "Classic" rock only refers to music that our parents or grandparents listened. The songs being incorrectly identified as "classic" and "oldies" are actually very contemporary. We should know, we remember to dance these songs very songs during our high school promise, and it was only ... Oh my God, it wasHow? 'Or' What many years? I think I need to sit for a minute.

Ok, okay, we get it. We should not click on mysterious links unless we know absolutely where they take us. Believe me, no one is annoyed only when we are when we fall for phishing e-mail scams or diverted Facebook profile scams. We know we should be more informed about the internet, and it leads us to the walnut we always make the same mistakes.

Forget the names and words

It's as if our own brains are complept against us. Honestly, it's not so big from a business to forget from time to time. It happens to everyone. But when it happens to us, we feel like a betrayal, and maybe even ascary sign that we get older. "It could be the beginning of the end?"

Lose your glasses

Refuge

Are not our glasses on our head for a moment a moment ago? We must ask them somewhere, but we can not remember the life of us. Maybe we left them on the dryer? Or on a library for any reason? Sometimes our days can feel like an endless game of cache and search with our glasses.

We are not fuddy-duddies. But we can remember whenGeorge Carlin's "Seven words that you can never tell television"Bit was funny because it seemed inconceivable that anyone ever pronounced these words on television. Now he became common.

Of course, we always care about our appearance. But why is it not possible to be elegant and also wear a pair of shoes that do not feel like it crushes all bones on our feet? We do not say we want to start wearing moccasins with official events, but hey, they would be better than the Stilettos.

Children need a place to breathe, to scrape their knees and make mistakes. I confide about it, they will go out.

18
People who do not vote

Refuge

We hope that rumors are false that young people rarely vote. Nothing on this subject makes sense for us. Given how many people argue on social media policy, we should all be crawling each other for the chance to vote. All the idealism of the world means nothing if we do not really participate in democracy.

19
Be constantly accessible

Email, sms, social media, where does it finish?! Previously, you might simply disappear and not immediately respond to your boss when they started claiming attention at imboy times. Today, people expect instant interactions, even if it's the weekend or late in the evening.
