The under 30 crowd....

This was sent to me via email (lol) and I'm not sure who wrote it, but it is SO TRUE!!!!

The Spoiled Under 30 Crowd If you are 30 or older, you will think this
is hilarious !!!! When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their
tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up;
what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning .... Uphill
BOTH ways .. Yadda, yadda, yadda.And I remember promising myself that
when I grew up, there was no way in heck I was going to lay a bunch of
crap like that on kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got
it! But now that...I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but
look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I
mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a dang Utopia! And I hate to
say it but you kids today- you don't know how good you've got it!

1. When I was a kid, we didn't have the Internet. If we wanted to know
something, we had to go to the dang library and look it up ourselves.. In
the card catalog!! (Do you even know what a card catalog is? Didn't
think so!)

2. There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a
letter... with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street
and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!

3. There were no MP3's or Napsters! If you wanted to steal music, you
had to hitchhike to the dang record store and shoplift it yourself! Or
you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ
would usually talk over the beginning and mess it all up!

4. We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody
else called they got a busy signal, that's it!

5. And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your bookie, your
drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn't know!!! You had to pick
it up and take your chances, mister!

6. We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like "Space Invaders" and " Asteroids" and the graphics were horrible! Your guy was a little square! You actually had
to use your imagination! And there were no multiple levels or
screens, it was just one screen forever! And you could never win. The game
just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died!
Just like LIFE!

7. When you went to the movie theater there no such
thing as stadium seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall
guy or some old broad with a hat sat in front of you and you couldn't
see, you were just screwed!

8. Sure , we had cable television, but back
then that was only like 15 channels and there was no on-screen menu!
You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on!
And there was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on
Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL
WEEK for cartoons!

9. And we didn't have microwaves. If we wanted to
heat something up, we had to use the stove or go build a fire ... Imagine
that! If we wanted popcorn, we had to use that stupid Jiffy Pop thing
or a pan with HOT oil and real popcorn kernels and shake it all over
the stove forever like an idiot.

10. When we were on the phone with our
friends and our parents walked-in, we were stuck to the wall with a
cord, a 7 foot cord that ran to the phone - not the phone base, the actual
phone. We barely had enough length to sit on the floor and still be
able to twirl the phone cord in our fingers. If you suddenly had to go
to the bathroom - guess what we had to do..... Hang up and talk to
them later.

That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have
got it too easy. You're spoiled!!You guys wouldn't have lasted five
minutes back in 1980! Regards,The over 30 Crowd

I had to laugh out loud when I read this!!!
