funny email i got

Dookie Sandwich · Feb 12, 2007

check this i got from my sister out, so true.

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 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 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 that thing called 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
Hitch hike 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'd
usually talk over the beginning and mess 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 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, 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" and the graphics sucked! 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 was 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 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 screwed 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, you
spoiled little rat-turds!

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 JiffyPop 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!

I disagree... I want nothing to do with some of the pressures kids have now with school and their peers..
