Millennials Are Slowly Turning Middle-Aged And Here Are 30 Of The Funniest Things They Caught Themselves Saying Or Doing, As Shared In This Online Group
In every millennial's life, there is that one day and that one time that you say something to yourself or out loud and then stop for a second in awe. Whatever the sentence was, you couldn’t have imagined saying it unless, well, you’re middle-aged. Be it “I am looking forward to going to bed” or “Why is the music so loud in here?!” and then all of a sudden, the moment of realization hits and the lightbulb switches on: I am definitely ageing. And before you change your mind from getting takeout to actually going home and cooking the chicken that’s been sitting in your fridge for a few days now, take a look at the list below of the best things people have caught themselves saying that made them realize they’re slowly knocking at the middle-aged people's door.
The online community r/AskReddit, labelling themselves as “the place to ask and answer thought-provoking questions,” was a perfect platform for the user naxxfish to fire it out to the millennials: “What was the most middle-aged thing you caught yourself saying recently?” And, well, the answers were ranging from hilarious to hysterical to "I can actually totally relate." Vote for your favorite ones and let us know yours!

"Oh no thank, you. I can't have caffeine this late in the day or I'll never get to sleep tonight."
My spouse was offering me the last soda from the fridge. It was 1pm.

I was venting to a coworker about these noisy bastards living next to me. I actually said the words, “goddamn teenagers and their Bluetooth machines”. I stand by my admonition but man it was my greatest age leap forward since I embraced the sensible Toyota.

Had a riveting conversation with some friends about the best office chairs for lumbar support.

Wanted to buy a snack and then thought, "no, I have food at home"

When my wife asked if there was anything she need to pick up at the store, and I responded: "I think we're out of asparagus."
Not sure what foul demon possessed me to to say those words.

My housemate: you want a drink?
Me: Nah, man. I haven't had a drink in... six months maybe? More?
My housemate: You stopped drinking?
Me: I'm not SOBER or anything, it's just that alcohol makes me sleepy.

I can't fix one thing in my house without at least 15 minutes of complaining about the previous owners handiwork.
M O'Connell 5 years ago
Like the nincompoop previous owner who installed fluorescent undercabinet lighting in 1993 using screws which were too long and penetrated through the bottom shelf of the cabinet and then just left them like that for 25 years.
#22
I slapped a crate I had strapped onto the back of my car and said "This isn't going anywhere"

In a conversation with a friend "I managed to find a really good knife block recently..."
#26
I had my bachelor party in Vegas recently.
I went to bed because I was tired, not because I was sloppy drunk like every other time I went to Vegas. Fml I’m old now
#27
“No, I’m okay. It just takes my back a little while to loosen up in the morning.”
#28
My knees hurt.
#29
"I can't have curry after 6 or I'll have heartburn all night."

"I will never financially recover from this"
Said after turning off yet another light left on in my home

"This younger generation...no one wants to do hard work. Call in for a sniffle. Someone asked on Sunday for us to put in Sicktime for the upcoming Saturday...cause she doesn't want to work on Saturday. They don't make workers like they used to." I'm 40. My 80 year old grandfather started to laugh.

Uhhh this pandemic is proof we shouldn't shame people for calling in sick or with a sniffle. People should rest when they are sick. Life's too short to compromise health for work. The problem is people can't afford to take a break and the irony is it makes them worse workers not better

My friends and I have great conversations about what are good appliances, and how exciting said good appliances are. Particularly good vacuum cleaners, a good vacuum is amazing.

I just had this conversation with some friends of mine from high school. The head cheerleader was asking the cool goth girl of our group what she thought about the new Dyson and I'm chirping about how nothing can beat my 10 year old Kirby that weighs as much as my first car.
