Things that happen to you when you were younger that dont anymore

[bean88]

recreational drugs used to end up in my system a lot when I was younger and oddly it stopped happening now

Having a babysitter that would just let me play Duke Nukem on his computer 5 hours straight on god mode.

Waiting 5 minutes for the computer to start up.

Landline phones.

Knocking on friends doors.

Holy fragaroli, thank you for reminding me of the first three in your list.

Do you remember dial-up internet? It would make its own song when it was connecting.

Excited to get off work and hit up the happy hour spots.

I realized I have PTSD from the dial up tone thanks to your post.

Remember slapping the hardware of you're computer when it was stalled and it magically worked again?

Being chased by a stray dog

Riding a bus

Using homohobic and sexist slurs without impunity

Fingering some slut behind the bins at the back of the club/bar

Splinters.

At some point I think your skin just gets too tough, and you're never tramping around outside picking up sticks and shit. They were a real bitch as a kid. Just not a problem, anymore.

I'd occasionally get a woman hitting on me when i was between 16 and 26ish.

But not anymore. I'm happily married so it doesn't bother me all that much, but it does make me think I wouldn't do well on the open market if I ever got divorced.

I would assume that's because back then you put effort in yourself and now you're settled and married you don't

Never peed in the trash can, but I did pee in the laundry hamper once when I was out of it.
