I hate being young

I hate having so much life ahead of me knowing it’s going to be filled with days like today where my f****** car starts leaking fluid from the part I just replaced. If only I were really old and have only 10-20 years left where I can just worry about entertaining myself. And if I really enjoyed my job I could keep doing it until I get terminal and then rest all day and watch good shows from when I was a young man and be surrounded by young nurses. That would be a good way to die.

But nope.

My girlfriend wishes she had a job. When she works, she tells me how much she wished she weren’t working. What’s a fella to do?

Oh I know plenty of people just like that, myself included.[quote=“Jayster, post:2, topic:47614”]

Maybe you can help her pick out a hobby?

“I have been half in love with easeful Death.” … John Keats.

I still remembered that line from when I read it, about your age and feeling (somewhat) like you do.

She probably wishes she had a job she can’t get.

When you hit 40 you’re going to be wishing that you were 19 again. I’m 54 with very little energy. I work six hours a day every other day. The next day after I work I’m so tired and sore that it makes me feel like I just played tackle football in the park for four hours.

“I hate being young”

Reminds me of when people say “I hate being old”

Maybe those two groups of people should just say “I hate being”

I wonder if the people in the middle are pleased.

Jokes aside. I guess every age has its perks and flaws.

It is hard to look ahead in life. I’m with you on that one. I am terrified of the years to come.
But, just think of what can happen in those years. Ya never know.

Those young whipper snappers don’t know how good they have it. Us older folks have to deal with those aches and pains, etc. that come with aging. I guess what they say is true—the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence…

I’m so tired and sore that mowing a lawn would be a three day project and I would need plenty of breaks.

If I walked on your yawn would you yell at me to " get off my lawn" :3

I would probably turn the hose on you.

I don’t even get the dignity of sprinklers!

OK, would make an exception just for you. Sprinklers it is, because I don’t want my house TP’d or egged in the middle of the night.

Do people still do that? I thought that people just trolled on the internet now.

Do what?..

Toilet paper and egg houses

OK, good question. I don’t really know if people still do that. My career as an egg-chucker ended in sixth grade.

I’ve had a few good runs in my middle school years. @Apathy

with tp and eggs?
