How to know you are living in 2005

[Ladasaguy]

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2005 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. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

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

AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself.

Besides the cellphone thing... right on. But I do bet there are people like that! It's SOOOO funny when you see someone panic b/c they forgot their cellphone, or when you see people tlaking on their cellphones and get to hear their side of the conversation, wich seems like it consists of 90% of the total amount of time he/she is on the cellphone. Pathetic.

The first 8 were very good - uncomfortably true, in fact.

You forgot to add...
When someone asks you about a videotape, you ask what the hell´s a videotape

 

[Maniacal]

No, not yet. Unless you live in Ethiopia or Khazakstan.

 

[Takhisis]

I mean the other way around, with those hi-tech idiots whose world is made up of cellphones, laptops, DVDs & iPods

#2 and #7 are always true. Why play solitare with real cards when on the computer you don't have to clean the cards up or deal them yourselves. Plus if a company is big enough to have comercals on network t.v. then they are obvosliy big enough to have a web site.

Always? Always = 4000 B.C till today. Maybe you are referring to the Flintstones?

I'm definitely not living in 2005
#1 - never done that.
#2 - got that in one.
#3 - I'm number three and we still only have 3 phone numbers between us.
#4 - I'm a student, not an employee.
#5 - We don't really stay in touch with the ones who do have e-mail addresses.
#6 - Don't drive, rarely buy the groceries.
#7 - Most round here don't.
#8 - I wouldn't call it that bad yet.
#10 - Don't drink coffee or tea, prefer water.
#11 - Definitely not.
#12 - Laughing yes, nodding no.
#13 - Guilt as charged.
#14 - as with #13.

So true. Do you notice that commercials, with the websites, have those small letters at the bottom of the screen? that say "Professional driver. Do not attempt." We are in 2005.
