Back when I was your age....

Yes they did. Just not to young punks like you!

I forget the original source, but it went something like this:

Granpa: when I was a kid, I had to work in the coal mine...
grankid: you were a miner, g'pappy?
Granpa: a miner?! hell no, I would've given my eyetooth to be a miner. I worked as a shovel!
 
Back in the old days we had to walk to the TV to change the channel, there was no remote; you HAD to answer the phone because you didn't have the caller ID to tell you who was on the other line; back then you actually had to pick up a pen, write on paper, and mail the shit out hoping it will get to the intended recipient
because there wasn't this thing called email.

but my favorite was from my grandpa who before he passed said "you always complain now, you kids. I know they tell you back then this and back then that. We all had to go uphill blah blah blah. What they can't tell you that I can is back in MY day, we had atomic bomb drop on us so stop complaining!"

back in the days..
...we were too poor to afford the TV with the remote, so i used a broken fishing rod that i taped back together and poked the channel selector...

...the word whippersnapper was still being used by my old neighbors...

....we actually had to go outside to find something to do..there was no internet...

.....i thought AOL 2.0 was the greatest thing since the A-team...it forced me to learn how to type....

....a decent 486 computer with 4mb of ram was like $2500.00...

.....atari made computers...

...if you wanted to do research...you ha d to go to the library....

...cell phones were the size of a brick..literally.

...calls were $1 per min...no unlimited nights and weekends.....

...satelite TV required that you sacrafice at least 6 sq feet of yard space for the dish....

....going to the beach was a family affair....

....getting a spanking from your parents was to be expected if you messed up somehow...you didnt sue your parents or reported them to the authorities....

.....going to the movies with a special someone and getting a kiss was something to be proud of and cherished for at least a week....nowadays, if you dont get laid by midnight, you've failed....

.....and finally back in the days...i was actually young and energetic...damn it sucks to be old..er..older..:(

Back in the day people thought David Hasselhoff to be a cool guy (Nowadays only the damned Germans think that)

Back in the day we used to ride the school bus to school and not badger our parents to destroy their lives dropping and picking us up from school.

Back in the day it was okay to play in the neighborhood without fear of strangers

Back in the day, teenagers actually did not snap back at their parents

Back in the day, Commodore 64 was the system to get. We used to load the programs from a, get this, TAPE!

Watching pr0n involved a lot of work unlike you feckars who just download pr0n.
 
Jeez- where to begin? My dad woke me up to see the moon landing because you had to watch TV live back then- no way to record it- and we watched it in black and white. I hated answering machines when they came out up here- wouldn't leave a message on one if it picked up- seemed damned impolite to me to have a machine talk to me instead of cowboying up and answering the damn phone!

We had four networks- two of which at any one time I could tune in- otherwise, I had to climb the roof of the house and adjust the atenna!

We didn't have music videos- we went to a concert- and usually, it sounded nothing like the "album".

You had to find parts locally- no way to look them up "on e-bay" (and by the way- that last part- if not for e-bay, I would not have a business, so thank you e-bay)

The coolest guy in school might get some titty on, like the third or fourth date- had to be going "steady" to actually nail the ass- it was the 70s, so you did EVENTUALLY get the ass LOL

We 'cruised the strip" on saturday nights- 'cause there was not another damned thing to do- unless someone was having a kegger at thier parents house while thier parents were out of town. Contrary to folk lore- anyone wrecking the house of said kegger would get thier ass immediately kicked- and I mean KICKED- because word would get around who was at the party, and we all would be in trouble.

If we wanted to tear a place up- we had a party at some campground.

If you were as big as i was by the time I was 16, some dude would "buy" for you at the liquor store- as long as you "smoked him out" for it after words- and back then, it had nothing to do with being gay.

Even the women weren't bisexual except in penthouse back in the day.

Back in the day, we had to look at penthouse to see naked skanks.

Or sneak into a titty bar. titty bars still suck.
