Millennials Are Sharing The Most "Middle-Aged" Things They've Caught Themselves Saying And I Feel Like I'm 100 Years Old
Reddit user naxxfish asked, "Millennials: What was the most middle-aged thing you caught yourself saying recently?" So, we wrote a post highlighting all of the best responses.
But there were even MORE comments on that post that made me feel personally victimized, so here they are, in all their middle-aged glory:
1."I have a good hip...and a bad hip."
2."A few days ago I walked into a store and walked right out again because the music was way too loud."
3."I'm at the point where I don't recognize any 'chart music' anymore."
4."I’m now at the age where if I’m gifted posh biscuits I keep the tins, because they’re ‘good tins’."
5."I'm only 22 and nothing gets me more excited than getting a new kitchen appliance. I got a food processor for Christmas last year and it was my favorite present."
6."Oh come on...I just cleaned that!"
7."Just today I put some tissues in my pocket before going outside to weed the garden...just in case my nose started running 🤦♀️"
8."Asking 'who?' whenever a newer celebrity is mentioned."
9."Saying 'the lawn and garden will be sooooo happy' whenever it rains."
10."I can’t stay long, my cat has been alone all day.”
11."I like to plan my errands starting with the farthest place so everything else is on the way home."
12.“No, I’m okay. It just takes my back a little while to loosen up in the morning.”
13."I am looking forward to going to bed."
14."I walk through my house and switch off the lights in rooms that no one is using."
15."Saying 'when I was your age...' to my 20-year-old coworkers."
16."When my wife asked if there was anything she need to pick up at the store, and I responded with, 'I think we're out of asparagus.' Not sure what foul demon possessed me to say those words."
17."Gotta take those fiber supplements."
18."Just yesterday I complimented the barista on the 'funky tunes' that he was playing. Now, I have to find a new coffee shop."
19."I need to pop into Joann Fabrics and pick up some yarn."
20."Wow! That's neat!"
21."I'm just resting my eyes."
22."I asked for a butter dish for my birthday."
23."'$1.99?!? I remember this used to be 99 cents!' – me, in shock, talking about a bag of Funyuns."
24."How do I make the text bigger?"
25."I slapped a moving box that I had strapped onto the back of my car and said 'this isn't going anywhere.'"
26."I was standing on my porch and drinking coffee when a car drove by and I said 'they're going way too fast.'"
And finally...
27.“'This is why I can’t have nice things...' I say as I pick up the plastic cup of pens my cat knocked over."
