I'm so old I Remember when:

[Rick589]

I can tell future generations that I grew up part way in the 20s.

I think I'm actually a late 2000s one though. And that means I grew up as a 2010s kid.

And you’ll have plenty of memories of your own to share down the road. However, I do feel as though those who weren’t fortunate enough to live through the 50’, 60’s, and 70’s really missed out on great stuff. The 80’s were good also….how many of us remember when MTV actually played music videos all day every day.

Everyone from each generation misses out on something good from the old generations.

I remember once I went to a pizza place with a friend to pick up pizza. They had MTV on and whatever on earth was being broadcasted was really ugly so I turned the TV off. I don't think anyone noticed.

During the 2000’s I was starting my forties, MTV had morphed into something akin to reality tv for teenagers and all the other current trends at the time faded into the distance. The older you get, at least for me, the less you pay attention to current trends nor care to know what they are.

I am so old that I remember:

I had people in my house fixing stuff while I was at work. NOW I have to be home to monitor.

I used to put change into my purse without counting them when the checkout person give me the change. Now I have to count every cent as they often give me incorrect/less change than it should be.

and this after they’re supplied with registers that do the math for them. All they need to do is count out the correct change, which is separated out, and this is a challenge for them…..assuming they’re not being intentional. Want to lose the ability to think get a machine to do it for you.

I remember when something had a issue that was fixed and you called the person out to fix it, they would fix it.

I also remember the first time we had someone refuse to fix bad work. My Dad had a special modification done to his minivan so he could use it. It started having issues. We took it to a specialized shop two hours away to get it fixed. They did some work on the steering, and we got the van back. Dad could not drive it. He told them. It took several times before they got it into a usable state for Dad. And the guy who ran the place wasn't very nice either and didn't want to hear that his shop did bad work. We ended up finding out there was another shop two hours in the opposite direction, and they ended up doing a very good job of fixing the car. And they actually figured out what was wrong.

That what they used to do, count the correct change and give it to me. But now they give me back less than should be, when I show them that they just open the till and give me the different, so I think they intentionally do that. But why?
