WELL HE CAN JUST GO TO A DIFFERENT BAKERY.

*And maybe some big cups with small band sizes*

Me three. I’m sitting down in the waiting area at the gate, I’m reading my book, why would I hurriedly get up and go stand in line? When I have an assigned seat reserved for me? I wait until the line has almost completely petered out before I grab my stuff and get up.

“I have heard a point made about this that I fully agree with - At no point in history has culture, technology, lifestyle, everything changed so much so quickly.”

The guy who says aisle seats are overrated is clearly only 5'4", does not suffer pain from joints being required to be in unnatural positions for extended times, can sleep everywhere, and is probably in his early 20's.

Yep, you can also tell the difference between songs recorded in the early and the late 1960's. There are also vast stylistic changes, which honestly, really seemed to have plateaued in the late 1990's to today. Seriously, if you went to Target and they were only playing songs from the late 1990's, how many songs…

Rey.... maybe has had sex, but with who? She grew up on that backwater Jakku. I mean I guess she probably has, but she was a loner and stuff when we meet her.

Yes. I purposefully wait in amusement toward the back as everyone jostles to be FIRST to breathe stuffy air and rub elbows with strangers and get coughed on. Hard pass.

Boarding the plane last is a benefit, not a detraction. Who wants to sit on the plane longer? Yeah yeah overhead bin space, just check your damn bag (at the gate, they will almost ALWAYS give free gate check on every flight). If it means a half hour less of sitting on an airplane, I’ll wait for my stupid bag at the…

This has always happened but we’re just the old ones who are sensitive to it now.

To make those around me feel older, I’ve started referring to anything around the year 2000 as “the turn of the century.” It’s a good trick and makes people feel ancient.

Let’s all agree there was a wolf that may have been doing some sort of steps.

I have some old recipes from my great-grandmother (no idea how old they are, parts of the cover are missing) that never mention temperature because they were meant to be baked in a fire. Trying those is always an adventure. I also saw a show recently where they explained that before people had clocks, they would…

This is how I like to burst the bubble of people who take the “food was different in Grandma’s day!” way too far. It was a wonderland of Karo syrup and mixes. I have no judgment over that, because the expectations on women were ridiculous as far as entertaining in the ‘50s. Think Casserole Pinterest is weird? Then you…

Apparently this is a thing for people who read much more than they speak. I’m terrible about mispronouncing words that I know very well, but only rarely use in colloquial speaking. When it comes up, I typically get called to the mat for it by my co-workers, which, of course, makes me want to talk even less. 

My fiancee learned Spanish first, then went to school and had to basically unlearn Spanish and learn English. She took ESOL for years. You wouldn’t know it now, but it does pop up every now and again.

Except for the size and sleekness, this is kind of the opposite of what I want in a phone. I want a phone that doesn’t even take phone calls. However, I do want to be able to book hotel reservations or find restaurants while I am on the move. I want to get directions and check weather. I could easily do without the…

My husband and I were just watching Tiny House Hunters and laughing hysterically while yelling at the TV “TRAILER! YOU WANT A TRAILER! If you pull all your tiny houses together in an area, like, say a park? What do you call it?!” Then my husband was all serious and goes “let’s be real here. These people would tell you…

I totally get the desire to have a more simple device, and it’s absolutely legit. But I DO think it’s completely fair to snark on people spending $400 for the privilege of having a non-smart phone that looks all fancy and new and cool when they could just go to Walmart or Costco or Total Wireless or whatever and pick…
