How do you know when you no logher y... 
when you start returning everything ..there was a time when if i got something from the shop and didnt work out i just accepted it..thought it was bad luck, you were too embarassed for them to see you like a scab


now i am returning sh*t like nobodys bussines lol, jeans, dvd players i dont care ..u become more demanding..u feel like the world ows you more for your money

my dvd player stoped working after about 7 months ( i couldnt belive i was gonna go though with it)..so i took it back the other day, i had a one year waranty, a while back i would have just paid for another without complaining...


and 2 weeks ago i got a pair of jeans i am noticing thats starting to come apart and i am contemplating taking em back..i like to wear my jeans for years lol..but i probably wont cause i wont have anything to wear to the shop if i put the jeans in a bag

do you guys find yourself return stuff more often with age or is it just in my head ?

i feel sorry for them when i am 70, il return everything before they even print me the recipt, il complain about programs on tv, the music, young punks, il write leters of complaints to food companies, news papers..i gonna make a few lifes dificult before i die

gonna make myself a niusance as much as possible, gonna pinch old ladys bums in the retirement village, nurses, hide peoples glasses or dentures, cheat at bingo, if someone tries to tell me off il fake heartattacs..itl be fun youl see, if you around my age and in australia i hope u get put in my retirement village cause we gonna party

i never left anything in my life gracefully or with dignity (relationships, arguments, shows etc..) i dont plan to start now

My wife and I were just talking about that today. I was at my son's school and the teacher looks like she is a child. Lord of the flies anyone?

Me neither. Keeping your feelings in just makes you ill. I hope that attitude getting less prevalent, but I'm not sure.

Did you at least understand how to program it?

For me it was the first time I thought "Kids are stupid these days, we were much cooler back when I was young. Things have changed..."

When my wife and I are old we'll make a hobby out of messing with people (i.e. pretending to not understand what they're saying, putting odd things into other shopping carts) or sitting on our rockers on our front porch cussing at people walking by. Few people have the nerve to beat up an old person

I heard an American comic say...

"I'd hate to get old, like REALLY old, so that when you sit down on the toilet pan your balls touch the water."

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

Just kidding. You'd love American toilets, though, they always give you a little splash.

We do have a DVD player that you can program all the TV stations into, has a TV guide that you can program to record onto a harddrive among other things. "It's crazy what they have nowadays. Back when I was young..."

Middle of the night now, I'll be checking those tracks out tomorrow...

Then you're definitely not too old yet...

What I have is pretty much like a DVD player/recorder and receiver in one. Also has the catch up mode - we could also set it to record something and when we would get home in the middle of it we could start watching from the beginning of the recording while it would be recording the rest.

I say would and could because I don't know how to do it. I AM getting that old...

You know you're getting old when the barber trims your eyebrows.

You know you're getting old when your wife tell's you to do something, and
then you do it without thinking about it, the kids say "that's really pathetic
Dad", and you say "what?".

I bought a 50 Euro Printer from HP few Month ago from Mediamarkt (Electronic Shop) and it was not working right from start. So in same day i put it back in the
package and put it in the corner.

Till today i didn't bring it back and i really don't care anymore as i ordered a new Printer from somewhere else on internet.
I am not rich or something, just too lazy.

But i realised that i am farting and burping much more than few years ago.
Maybe thats my sign of getting old. I don't know.

So i guess for everyone the signs of getting old are different

When you bend over to tie your shoes and you look around to see if there's anything else you can do while you're down there.
