Things you do now that you are older

I've learned to not get so upset over life/state of affairs/state of world/other emo crap.

The internet is serious business, well it has been paying my wages for years anyway (ecom).

when i was ateenager i assumed all "old" people (ie 20 plus) wished they were younger. now that i'm nearly 30, i am so glad to be that age, and in fact i sometimes wish i was a bit older. i would hate to be younger again.

I wish I was 18 or so again and I would have slept with all those fat birds. An 18 year old girl wouldnt look at me twice now fat or not.

I can look after myself and have done. Then moved on to the Israeli military Krav Maga form of self defence to increase my potential.
If I have to use it once a year, thats too much but I'm older and just don't tolerate thug crap any more, Why should any of us have to do so?

And that means you can beat up teens in the cinema. You are AWESOME!

If something comes to €3.17 in the shop, hand them a fiver and then tell them 'I have the 17cent if you want it?"

No, I'm just another arsehole but one that is not willing to take crap as easily. I've tackled other gob****es that are disturbing everyone's viewing.
The young staff at our cinema are (understandably) afraid to tackle the group of young thugs that come in so they ask me for assistance. They know me because I train some of them.
Grabbing them by their collars after many repeated warnings to shut up and sit down, which they ignore and continue to destroy others viewing pleasure, they are soon out on their ass on the pavement. They don't like it, tough.
They should stop being arseholes! They get no sympathy from the cinema owner, staff and fee paying customers.

Look at 14yr olds smoking cigarettes and think '****in idiots', yet i was at the same back then. Hypocricy is great

Yea right!

I wish a lot more folk would grow a set of balls and stop accepting that people in general have to take the crap that is shoved into their faces.
The Irish public is too complacent to their detriment. They moan and gripe about why things are bad, how these things happened and/or how did such such things be allowed to happen.
Well maybe, if they stopped letting things slip by them, may be, just may be, there wouldn't be so much crap going on!

What have I learned as I got older, seen many other cultures and the way they deal with problems, etc? That your only on this merry-go-round of a planet once.
You can either be a constant victim or once in a while actually stand up and say "I don't have to take this crap".

I look forwards to the day that "Zero Tolerance" is introduced into this country as law.

Have a ride without a 'love tape' on the go

Enjoy laughing at students and teenage subcultures

Complain that <insert current indie band> sounds exactly like <older indie band>

See fashions come around for the second (and third time). And always the sh*t ones for some reason

Actually empathizing and getting on with your parents

Think that going to bed after 11pm during the week is "late".

Worry about being out too late midweek.

Roll my eyes when I see a group of kids in the street laughing and messing.

Make an involuntary noise when I bend down to pick something up.

Laugh @ young folks when a song spat up from the 80's remixed into a dance song gets to number one and they say its new and THEN when they hear the original they say someone has covered the dance song.

Its like Ray Foley bringing back Journey. A lot of teenagers thought it was new.

Or like

Leo Sayer. Idiots bought up this new dance version like it was any good and claimed the original was a remix.

*Sigh

Sorry. Nope. You're a keyboard warrior. Learning to deal with the million little tiny annoyances of everyday life is part of being a normal member of a functioning society. All this talk of "being a victim" and "zero tolerance" is bollocks. If you feel like you are a victim of everyday life and feel you need to kick the sh*t out of anyone whose ringtone displeases you then its your own problem, not everyone else's fault.

Someone text into the Ian Dempsey show saying that they liked the Snow Patrol version of 'Run' that he just played but preferred the Leona Lewis original. I nearly crashed my car with anger

Reflector

couple more

* Read the Economist

* Sit downstairs on the bus

* Listen to classical music by choice

* check that my wallet is in my backpocket anytime 3 or more teens or a beggar walks by me (bit ashamed of this one)

* Have a nap before going out for the evening.
