Spoiled kids today... funny!

THE SPOILED UNDER-30 CROWD!!! 
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... barefoot...  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  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 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 the library and  look it up ourselves, in the card catalogue!! 

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! Stamps were 10  cents! 

Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us. As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick our butts! No where was safe! 

There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike 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! 
There were no CD players! We had tape decks in our car. (or some of us over 40 remember 8-tracks!) We'd play our  favorite tape and "eject" it when finished and the tape would come  undone.'cause that's how we rolled, dig? 

 We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting (or touch tone phones - we had to use those old rotary phones that hurt your fingers if you made too many calls!) If you
were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal,  that's it! And some of us had to have party lines and wait for OTHER people who used the same line to get off the phone!

And we didn't have fancy Caller ID 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'. 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! 

 You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! (I didn't even have cable - we got about 4 channels up until I turned 18 and paid for cable myself!) 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! 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 brats! 

And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat  something up we had to use the stove ... Imagine that! 

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 or before!

The over 30 Crowd
