YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2009...

[K'riq Sa]

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2009 WHEN....


1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.


2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.


3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.


4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.


5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.


6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.


7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.


8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.


10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.



11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )


12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.


13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.


14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.


15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.



AND NOW U R LAUGHING AT YOURSELF

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.

I don't know anyone under the age of 70 without an email address.



Otherwise, great list.

 

[RoJoHen]

I know lots of people without email addresses because they can't afford to buy a computer.

Granted, I'm not really friends with any of these people. They're just some of my coworkers, and I know they exist.

13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

If you're still forwarding joke emails, you may actually be living in 2002.

Either that or you're my mom.

That's spooky! How did you know?!

I'd say 2002 is being generous. More like 1998.

Yeah this email has been doing the rounds for years, I think it's even been posted here 2 or 3 times in the past.

1) You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

and you don't know any of those phone numbers. I know my own number and I know my parents number but that's it. Everything else is just stored in my phone...


4) You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

In the modern workplace, a email is always a safer better than a conversation - people can't claim you forgot to ask for something...

 

[Bob The Skutter]

^I don't even know my own, they're all stored in my phone.

I would think most posters under 22 wouldn't know you could play solarite with real playing cards

 

[Space Cowboy]

I know I've never played solitaire with real cards. This is one of the few places where I am dragging down the average poster age.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

I already know I'm living in 2009. My wall calendar says so.

14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

I hate that shit.

I would think most posters under 22 wouldn't know you could play solarite with real playing cards

I don't see how anyone could, real playing cards don't do that bouncy trail thing at the end.

 

[Squiggy]

They do if you're high.

#16 You are spending hours online talking about a TV show that ran 40 years ago.

 

[Kemaiku]

I would think most posters under 22 wouldn't know you could play solarite with real playing cards

I'm 24, have several packs of real cards and practically never play in on the computer.

Either that or you're my mom.

I was thinking more along the lines of 1999.

#16 You are spending hours online talking about a TV show that ran 40 years ago.

WINNER!

17: You have a twitter account, and the highlight of your year was when Stephen Fry got trapped in a lift.
