Cyrus Cassidy #45437 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I will turn 40 later this year. I don't really fall into either camp, but I'll admit identifying with the older crowd in your sister thread (i.e. I know how to count change, understand basic math, can change breaker points, can drive a stick, etc.).

Sparky Nelson Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Spewing every moment of one's life on social media. The Internet has made it possible for everybody to think they're important and that their thoughts matter. I got news kids - 'tain't so. Nobody cares but your family and closest friends, and you can talk to them without bothering the rest of the world. "You have the right to remain silent. I suggest you use it."

Yul Lose Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Piercings, ugly tattoos on pretty wimmen, apps on my IPhone, folks who wear pajamas everywhere, earlobes so disfigured you can stick a cucumber through them, drivers who have their music so loud it makes my car shake three cars away, vape smokers who think I want to smell their vapor, telemarketers, families that go into restaurants and don't talk they just sit there texting on their phones, immigrants who refuse to learn English, every new restaurant that opens up down here is a Mexican restaurant we've got enough Mexican restaurants already, enough, mashed cauliflower disguised as mashed potatoes, most network television shows, political candidates.

Hurricane Deck 100366 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Selfies.... good LORD the selfies!!!! I sat in the living room a few weeks ago watching a show on Discovery and watched my teenage daughter, sitting in the recliner, take 52 selfies in the span of one hour. I kid you not. I am not exaggerating. I counted them. fifty-two. I am sure they all made it into the instagram-o-meter. Rap. Not music, not "art" - just noise. Folks who can't seem to pull their britches up all the way. Not interested in see your underwear. pull your pants up. low profile tires and giant rims on trucks and old cars. The "entitled" generation(s). ugh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still as foul-mouthed as a drunken uncle, but I have to admit they had some musical skills. What really grinds my gears about most rap is the repetitiveness. "**** da man!" is vulgar and disrespectful, but saying it 32 times in a row because you can't think of anything else to say makes me wonder if the group home knows you've wandered away again.

Bugs Bonney SASS # 10171 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 People that seem to think I and everyone else is enthralled with whatever it is they have to say. It may be in a restaurant or in a waiting room at the hospital and they talk so loud I can't carry on a conversation or read. I truly don't want to know what you have to say either to the folks at your table or the person on the other end of the phone. Please keep you conversation down so others around you can enjoy their conversation or their book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finagler 6853 Life Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Men who don't know how to wear pants. Pull up your pants fool. The crotch of you pants meets the corresponding part of your anatomy, not your knees. Women who wear yoga pants, stirrup pants, stretch pants that show every conceivable bump and ripple on their legs. I like the female form as much if not more than most but for some "ladies" it is not a pleasant visual. If in doubt, don't wear it in public. Rap +100 Kardashians (who cares) +1 Selfies +1 Twitter +1 Telling everyone what you are doing every minute of the day. +1 Get over yourself.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I don't understand people that call my home phone, and when the answering machine starts, they hang up. I sure can't call them back if they don't leave a message, and if they didn't want to leave a message, why did they call in the first place. I refuse to be a slave to my telephone. Just because it rings, does not mean that I have to jump up and answer. If you have bad news it will find me soon enough and if you have good news, just leave your name and phone number. If you want to sell me something, or want a donation, go some place where it is extremely warm ALL OF THE TIME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 How ALL the presidential candidates promise to raise/lower taxes, enact this thing or that, when that is the province of Congress! Problem is the schools don't teach basic Civics or American Government. If the majority of voters understood how our government is (supposed) to work, they'd laugh all 17+ candidates, regardless of party, right off the stage!Abraham Lincoln is reported to have said, "You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all of the time!" OTOH, Bret Maverick's Ol' Pappy said, "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time...and those are mighty good odds!"

Ramblin Gambler Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 It befuddles me why youngsters wear the ball caps backwards. I tell my wife when I see someone wearing there hats backwards, that for that person, there needs to be instructions inside the hat. I love pictures of backwards caps where the wearers are trying the shade their eyes from the sun. This one looks like it's at a sporting event, so maybe ole boy had some backwards cap superstition from one time when the sun was burning his neck and his team did real good. I often wear my hat cockeyed and it probably looks funny, but if you pay attention the bill is always moving to where the sun is. I don't even notice I'm doing it anymore. It's almost like the cap does it automagically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
