You know you're living in 2004 when...

You know you're living in 2004 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 go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in a business manner.

7. You make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial "9" to get an outside line.

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

10. You learn about your redundancy on the 11 o'clock news.

11. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job.

12. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.

13. Every commercial on television has a website at the bottom of the screen.

14. 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.

15. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.

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

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

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

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

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

AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself.

im not sure if i should post this but i found it funny

[rhsunderground]

#9 - you've used your cell phone to call your parents downstairs to ask them what's for dinner.

lol, my dad has called me when i was in my room to tell me something or other :P craziness of it all

[rhsunderground]

back in the day, before we lived across the street from where my mom worked, i would call her to ask her something more often than i would go downstairs to ask my dad:rolleyes:

[dera]

im so lazy that i talk to my brother whos room is next to mine on im, and instead of getting up and turning on my stereo to listen to the radio i just listen to it online

[misterheadache]

#9. - Its cheapest (or even FREE) to use your cellphone to call someone across the country rather than using the perfectly good phone that's been hanging on the wall for decades. Plus, that phone on the wall uses a system that's about 1/100th as complicated and 100x more reliable than the cell phone.

. . . One of my current gripes with so-called modern technology :D

ROTFL. I've actually done that a few times.

[davidbrent]

[the tree]

22. You are aware of a langauge that is impossible to speak yet is used internationaly.

23. That doesn't seem wierd.

24. You can type considerable faster and more acuratley than you can write.

ppl have been like this ever since the typewriter came out. They were able to type fast :)

[PeOfEo]

I could type faster then I could write in the days before I embraced the home row keys. I mean I was doing a two finger rally.

I'm still doing the 2 finger rally, but if I started back up with using cursive regularly, or going back to my chickenscratch writing, I could write much faster than I could type. As it is, I probably write and type at the same speed. (BTW, me not having severe brain damage, I haven't written the wrong letter in quite a bit...)

Yeah, but you went to the wrong source:

[steelersfan88]

I'm not sure, but I've never heard anyone say that, so I think #24 just ruined the thread. I was better off not knowing that ...

[Paul Jr]

Yeah... I'm with Peo... better off not knowing those sorts of things...


Anyways. I can't write for crap. My handwriting sucks, and it's slow and tedius. I'd rather type any day.

its alot like me thats cool

i will hug mr. fuzzy bunny O.o o.O

[Jona]

I'd pronounce "lol" just how it's spelled, that is, if I said it in real life. When I read to myself, I pronounce it "lol" because it allows me to read more quickly -- the more words I can abbreviate, the faster I can read.

I can type about 90 to 95 words per minute on average, counting mistakes and adjusting time, that rarely falls below 85 words per minute. I'm with Paul in handwriting -- mine is terrible, I write very slowly, and I often miss out letters. When writing numbers, specifically twos and threes, I often have to pause after the beginning of the number and use my opposite hand to make the hand I'm writing with actually move.

[rhsunderground]

i've developed a style of writing notes that allows me to write surprisingly fast, yet i am the only person in the world that will interpret them.

Interesting. You know, Da Vincci wrote his Italian notes backwards so that if anyone was looking over his shoulder they wouldn't be able to read what he was writing. I think I might start doing that. (I enjoy writing upside-down/backwards a lot.)

lol. I'm from New York, USA, and I know someone from... uhm, Liverpool, England (I think that's it), better than I know any of my neighbors.

[Ben Rogers]

I guess I'm not officially a geek then. I know my neighbors (well, my neighbor-to-the-right-when-facing-the-house, and my neighbors-that-lives-a-half-mile-away-but-are-still-my-neighbors) better than I know anyone online, and I can actually read my writing.

[rhsunderground]

i don't even know who my neighbors are. one of them saw me at a conference this afternoon. apparently she works for a music company. who knew?

[Jick]

Ok, this is getting out of hand. Lynn, you need to stop posting this kind of rubbish. There is no reason for it. If you continue posting this sort of stuff you may become a likely candidate for banning. This is nothing personal. It is just that all of the posts I can find from you contain nothing but stuff like this. Posting messages about your status or if your holding a plush bunny at the moment has nothing to do with these forums and is of no interest to anyone as far as I can tell. If you have something useful to contribute then by all means feel free to post it but if all you have to talk about is this kind of stuff then please refrain from posting. Once again, this is nothing personal so please don't take it as such. This is just a warning about the contents of you posts. I hope you can understand. Thank you. :)

Ben ... if you really are anti-Bush, meaning you are more a democrat, at least Clinton learned after 1 time to keep private things private. Learn from him and keep your mouth shut.

Holy Impeachments Batman!

My Political-debate senses are tingling!

I got a really funny one.

You know you’re living in 2004 if the “year” part of the date reads “2004”.

Yeah? Uh huh? Funny, isn’t it?

[Mr Initial Man]

You know you're living in 2004 when you see the word "spam" and think "junk email/posts" before you think "sandwich meat".

You know you're living in 2004 when Bush is saying "Bore more years!" Oh, whoops, that's "FOUR more years." My bad. :D

u no ur living in 2004 wen peeple think this ish gud speling

What the hell does my political alignment have to do with anything I do in real life?
If you beleive that people shouldn't comment on other people's business, why are you commenting on my business?
What have I said that would've been better off kept to myself, and for what reasons?

Oh! Oh! I hate to say it, but Steelers got burned! BURNED!

[steelersfan88]

I could respond to that ... both Ben and Paul. But I'm older than both of you, and much more mature than both of you to do so.

I've got other things to do anyway ... I suggest you use your life to your benefit as well.

Anyone who says they are mature, is someone in denial. You like to think your age means you are above those younger, (you've even said so to me) and so you try to put them down (as you have just done). As for having other things to do- don't start what you can't finish, Steelers.

Just kiddin', no, I haven't heard (of) them.
