You know you live in 2005....

Post by giles337 »

you know you live in 2005 when....





1) you accidentally enter your password on a microwave












2) you haven't played solitaire with real cards in years










3) the reaL reason for not staying in touch with your friends is that they don't have a screen name









4) you'd rather look all over the house for the remote instead of just pushing to button on the tv.









6) your boss doesnt even have the ability to do your job.









7) you read this list, & keep nodding and smiling






8) as you read this list, you think about sending it to all your
friends









9) and.. you were to busy to notice number 5.










10) you actually scrolled back up to check that there was no 5







11) & now you're laughing at your stupidity





I saw this, and loved it :D IS it funny? Or am I just really immature? :rolleyes:
Mag: Don't remember much at all of last night do you?
Me: put simply.... No :D
Mag: From what I put together of your late night drunken ramblings? Vodka, 3 girls, and then we played tic-tac-toe and slapped each other around.

That's great.

Some psychologist must have written that one :D .

Maybe we should think of other things to add to that list. :)

I got a similar email, and here are some other ones:

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

-You e-mail your friend who works at the desk next to you.

-When you make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial "0" or "9" to get an outside line.

-You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies.

-Contractors out-number permanent staff and are more likely to get long-service awards.

That thing really just read my mind, I scrolled up to see if I missed it, I did everything it said. I usually ignore emails like that.

- when talking to your friends in real life, sou say "lol" instead of doing the actual laughing
- before telling something, you clearly mention whether it takes place in "real life" or "on the internet"
- most of your stories take place in the latter anyway

You know you live in 2005, when...

-you think about a word, and inmediately know how to type it

-you send people electronic greeting cards instead of a real card or giving them a telephone call or actually congratulating them personally

-you have a better conversation with someone via the internet than in person (sad thing, actually)

-you buy your cd's on the internet, instead in the shop - even though it's more expensive

.... When you have two sets of friends, those who are not computer literate, and those who are. Chances are that (a) you met the latter via the internet and (b) that you refrain from using computer-related terms with the former because it most likely upsets them. :p

anyone not run into that problem :p
chantelle:whats a cookie?
Me:why, its an edible piece of your computer. Take it apart and youll find it.

- when you talk to a person on the phone and the computer at the same time

- when you go to the computer, trurn it on, talk for a while, think about having breakfast and noticing its time for dinner. (happened to me once, that was a weird day)

-when your computer has a better immune system then you do. Wish humans would wake up one day with their nose flashing red going *warning, virus*
