Yep, several of my relatives sported those when I was a kid. And I still look at pre-lit trees as new-fangled. I also wonder where Tinsel went.

Do you know how long it took me to figure out why people were putting "#" in front of everything they posted online?

View Quote #poundsignsmatter One of my triggers is when I go to the GP complaining about something related to getting old and my doctor says" Well, these things happen as you get older...". ...and yes, I know what that picture is, and we used to have one. The color wheel is still somewhere in the basement. |

The word "trigger" used in that context is my trigger.
FUCK...now I'm fuckin TRIGGERED...there it happend again...damnit! |

A pre 2000 Saturn 4 door with 4 pimply faced kids wearing flat billed hats and flashing gang signs at traffic and bopping in their seats listening to some horse shit rap music.
Triggers me every time. |

I've got friends that I grew up with that have or are retiring. Also, the fact that I'm a Grandfather.

People who speed up and get in front only to turn when nobody but them were behind you.
Boom boxes in cars, drives my tennitus nuts when one gets close. Boom boom eeeeeeeeeeee boomeeeeeeeeee |

pop culture. I'm not even that old but I constantly find myself thinking "what are these stupid kids in society doing NOW."

Bernie Sanders stickers.
Being where I live, I almost lose my shit everyday. |

We had one . . . in CA in the early 60's . . . the color light wheel was still in my mothers attic when she passed in '07.

When people use the word "Trigger," not pertaining to firearms.

Facebook. Twitter. Anything that comes under the heading of "social media."

We have one. Passed down from a couple of generations to make it our 5 year old's tree. Full aluminum. Awesome.

Instead of admiring the high school chicks like I used to when I was in high school or just after, I admire the high school chicks' moms.

Every time I hear a new name for a "new" music genre.
There are 5 musical genres, mother fuckers. Classical, rock, metal, blues/jazz (call it either call it both, call it 2 different things go fuck yourself, they're the same genre), and country. If it doesn't fit in those 5, it's "other." That's it. The number seems to grow exponentially. When really it's just a lot more "other." Rap/Pop? Other Choir hymn? Other Gregorian monks? Other Mongolian throat humming? Other |

I was getting my hearing checked a few years ago.
The girl working the counter was smoking hot, early 20's and very friendly/chatty with me. I was like, "still got it, she digs me". Then, when we got my results, she said (very loudly) something to the effect of: "Oh, hey, you still hear pretty good for a man your age." She was just being friendly. She did not dig me at all. |

Had one? It is in the living room right now, just put it up a day early
|
|
The 4th straight week with a crew of illegal immigrants remodeling the house next door with their music blaring 10 hours a day puts me in a very special place.

We had one. I was, and still am, allergic to cut trees. We have a realistic fake now but I want to drag out the aluminum for the Gkids.
Also allergic to those fucking scented pine cones all the stores have out. My kid gave us some two years ago, I handled them not knowing I was allergic and wound up in the ER in respiratory and cardiac failure. 3 days later and it's Epi-pen and benadryl on hand forever at Christmas time. |

"Country" people wearing camo, when they haven't hunted a day in their life.
"Country" people driving zippy jap cars. "Country" people having acting "country" I have lived on a farm my whole life, hate country music, drive a beat up truck, wear my boots only when I have to. I hunt, I fish, I shoot. Don't dip. Don't wear camo. I am more country than 75% of the "country" people claim to be. This whole "country" fad just drives me up a damn wall. |

I realized I was getting old when my countertop microwave broke last week...
Instead of just replacing it for $50, I am in the processing of updating my entire kitchen. Got my over the stove microwave done last weekend, and just installed a new stove/ oven tonight. Gotta finish my trim work, then paint the cabinets, then paint the walls, then maybe do new countertops. Must be getting old! |

I still don't know if it's a link to another site or just some stupid thing to make it look important. Same goes for the ones with the @ in front of them... |

View Quote Most current "country" people picked up everything they do from television and pop culture. When I was growing up hardly anyone wore or even owned camo. Most guys wore jeans, overalls, or khakis when hunting. You didn't see the brodozer trucks either. People dressed up to go to town or church. They kept their homes looking nice. "White trash" was a grave insult, now it is synonymous with "redneck" and considered "cool". |

Or even some of the teachers there. Also, it does get pretty old when some snotnosed punk in skinny jeans (I'm looking at you, Kevin at AT&T Mobile) who suggest I'm mentally ill for not being plugged into goddamned facebook. Fuck facebook! |

When you need reading glasses, when I turned 40 couldn't see anything up close.

It was when the cute girl at the local 7/11 called me "Sir"...
