Room 101

[TheLateNightFantasy]

I had a young coworker say to me (with all sincerity), "wow. Your generation has seen so much..."

I felt even older when I realized he wasn't born when 9/11 happened. I simply nodded and agreed.

We had an apprentice who had never operated a touch tone telephone, didn't know how. Our place of work must be State of the Ark.

The iPhone generation has landed. Scary to think there are adults younger than the iPhone, not alone didn't see 9/11 or even the Millennium.

Paying for hand luggage, seat selection, food, hold luggage, using a check-in counter, for a flight with no entertainment, comfort or leg room..

What next? A £1 per sheet charge in the loo, or £5 to sit down on it??

There's places in Mexico that charge for loo roll, but they don't charge much. The most I've seen is 10 pesos/56 cents US/46p

People who take mountain pass curves at 65 mph and then are shocked when they almost fly right off the edge. Fucking idiots

Shitheads that lean on the horn the second the light turns green.

The mobile phone

Thou the concept was good I feel it has gone too far with every thing we do needs an app. Bring back a slower life where people actually spoke to each other or when it took 3 days to have a love letter returned.

That happened to me recently. It had barely turned green. I waited a bit and proceeded S L O W L Y through the intersection. It was petty, but so were they.

Freezable food where it doesn’t say if can be cooked from frozen or if the cooking times differ!!

If they are the only car behind me, sometimes I'll turn on the emergency flashers and wait several seconds
before creeping through the intersection.

Myself.. I heard the rent was cheap here…

 

[AnotherApe]

People that tell me I'm "being rude" when I won't try their "world famous special dish". Ever hear of food allergies?
Would it be more polite to sample your pumpkin pie and call an ambulance?

I agree. I'm sick of needing an app for EVERTHING!!

Those wonderfully enlightened people who can't figure out why "card only" self-check registers won't accept their money

I order a hamburger and "do you want cheese on that?". Did I order a cheeseburger? NO.
I order a milkshake and "do you want soy milk or oat milk?". Did I ask for a fake milkshake? NO.
I order a pizza and "do you want non-dairy cheese?". Did I ask for fake cheese? NO
Stop second guessing me. Give me what I asked for and if i screwed up, its my fault.
