That's a nice box, keep it.
I've done this my whole life. (i used them to store markers and pens and other random crap i kept in my room)
My husband made me get rid of my gift bag collection...next time we needed a gift bag he got real quiet.

Totally. I have Amazon/Walmart delivery boxes by the dozen. There are boxes filled with collapsed boxes, boxes waiting to be collapsed, and then there are the good boxes that just kind of hang out with all the other boxes.
Load More Replies...You never know when you will need a nice box for presents or markers or something. Also have a bag of bags, but I have been told that all Russians do that and certainly most Americans do so maybe it is a cultural norm not an age thing
YEEESSS Ommgggg my apartment is full of small boxes i put random things in so my boyfriend doesn't throw them out ! XD
Not something I said but I just stood out on my porch this morning drinking my coffee and someone drove by pretty fast and I thought “that’s way too fast”
I was doing this at 11 or 12 years old. Drivers come barreling down the street and there are always kids playing out there. Even worse, one of the kids is deaf. He can’t hear the cars coming.
I was raised on cars and F&F movies(thx dad) and when this happens, i think, "maybe they should slow down, also, I wonder if that's an LS3?"(me also thinking about the awesome VW Golf in the image.)

I am looking forward to going to bed.
Stage 1: looking forward to going to bed. Stage 2: considering it the best part of the day - those 3 minutes when you feel content as you're slipping into unconsciousness. Stage 3: you don't want to wake up. Stage 4: wondering if this is how death will feel like. Stage 5: you don't mind if you won't wake up.
You know you're older when you talk about sleep like you used to talk about sex.
That's cos you talk about what you don't get enough of

I tried listening to the iTunes top 100 yesterday for a change of pace and it all sounded like hot garbage, “WHAT ARE KIDS EVEN LISTENING TO THESE DAYS?!”
They're listening to whatever their parents won't. Same as last generation. And the one before that.
I listen to the same music as my parents. And I love it. Especially Lorde and Passenger... oh, and The Pogues!
Load More Replies...They're listening to what they like, why are people so critical about music? My parents didn't like mine, I don't like my kids music but who cares, unless you're a control freak; live and let live
Honestly, a lot of it IS garbage. It's no longer required to work hard at being be a good musician to create "music". Just push buttons on a machine like a monkey. It's no longer required to have talent to sing. Just fix your terrible off-key voice with technology.
A lot of old music is also garbage, you're just only remembering the highlights. You can have a music preference without being a prick
Load More Replies...To be fair, there are a lot of good artists rn that are not in the charts. Did you only listen to the charts? No? Me neither.
I played Tool and Pantera and Slayer the other day to my 12 year old granddaughter in my car. She got home and said to her mum that "Nan is THAT person you don't pick up on the side of the road, is she a serial killer? You should hear her music mum, it's NOTHING like tiktok!" My daughter laughed and told her the stuff she listens to is more corrosive than what Nan tunes out to!
Load More Replies...Huh. I've never thought this of old or new music. I guess some people are just more judgmental...
and i'm sure your parents said that when you were a kid. and i'm sure the young kids of today will say things like this when they grow up. lol it's a never ending cycle
Scrolling through my Spotify and constantly asking who the hell are these people?
Okay but seriously who the hell are they? Like i've never listened to them why tf do they keep showing up
I felt really old this year when I watched the music awards and knew like 2 people.
I have people on my mobile phone that I have no clue who they are, or why they are there. I get a text from 'Snoopy' every year wishing me a merry Christmas, which I dutifully text back a thank you and send greetings, I have no clue who Snoopy is.
I do this too and I'm gen-z. I barely know any of the popular musicians, actors, or social media people.
The music from the 1950’s to the 2000’s was REAL music. You could actually hear the lyrics, the musicians could play several instruments and wrote their own songs, always. Nowadays, I have no idea who the singers are & ALL the songs sound the same, especially pop. And no one is interested in the history of music or explores any other genres. Today’s music sucks!
I slept wrong and haven’t been able to turn my head for three days.
i did this and i am gen-z.................it hurt so bad ;-; I was in total pain and i lied in bed for days
I thought this is what everybody said when they slept wrong. Not the last part, but the first part.
Calling a 21 year-old guy a “kid”.
It gets worse as you get older, wait until you walk into a store, look around to see which direction you need to go and some helpful 20 yo will practically run up to you to lead you to where you need to go, because now it looks like your feeble self isn't capable of finding things any more.
Load More Replies...I still remember when I was a kid and looked at 20ish people and thought they were full adults with adult and stable lives, haha! Oh my! Now I'm 28 and I've realized how far from truth I was!
haha x) Best joke ever, when you reach your own 20's x')
Load More Replies...Wait until you realize that 21 year-old kid could very well be your son or daughter since they're actually half your age.
Well when 21 year old guys stop acting like kids they can be something else.
I work in a call center and cam see the date of birth of customers. Basically anyone born after 95 I call a kid 😂
I work in McDonalds and we have a lot of school/college/university students - boy they make me feel old! (one of the guy's mum was in my class at school too, definitely feeling old) but I hope I encourage them to work hard at their education so they get more opportunities then me...
I called a co-worker kid the other day... they’re 26... I’m 29... everyone a day younger than myself is a fetus now
I feel this. I started getting the odd grey hair a few years ago, but now, two strands are growing next to each other, simultaneously. I am reserving my spot at the cemetery.

You want to go out for dinner? Oh no, I can’t; I have chicken in the fridge that I have to cook before it goes bad
This could also be a young person thing because a lot of young people are broke.
I'm 50 and make plenty of money, but I'm not about to let perfectly good chicken go bad in the fridge :)
Load More Replies...how can I get down voted on common sense omg x')
Load More Replies...Cooking a chicken you already have in the fridge is always a good option. If you don't want chicken for dinner tonight, make a Whole Chicken Soup - just saute some chopped onion, cut up some celery and carrots, mix them all up and pour in 8 cups/1000 ml of water. Add a couple of bay leaves, some thyme, parsley and some dill. Then take your chicken, salt and pepper very thoroughly inside and out, and plop it on top of the veggies. Cook on medium-low heat until the chicken is falling off the bones. Remove chicken to a plate and when it cools, pick the meat off into a bowl. Add the meat back to the soup, and garnish with fresh dill and parsley. You can also cook noodles or rice on the side, and add them to the soup. Delicious, and you can eat it for a week!
No amount of wasting money stops me when I want to eat out; I'm ashamed
I think they don’t have an option like before, financial instability will make you think wiser
"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.
Weirdly I can drink it then go straight to bed?
Load More Replies...3pm is my cut off for caffeine. I found myself taking pills to go to sleep and caffeine to wake up, every day, so I made a cut off. Some people can drink caffeine all day and then sleep, and feel fine, and proud of it. All that means is they take so much caffeine that their body has become accustomed to high levels. But boy howdy. I bet they have hideous caffeine headaches and irritability if they don't keep the caffeine levels up all day. It's an addiction to a drug and the most used drug in the world.
That's not true. I hardly drink coffee, maybe once or twice a week but I can drink it at night and sleep without any problems. Back when I was still in school, I've tried to use it to stay awake to study but it never worked for me 🤷🏿♂️
Load More Replies...Me, an intellectual: *chuckles in having ADHD, which makes it so that caffeine knocks me out like melatonin*
Ok this is another big clue I've heard recently re adhd: coffee can make me sleepy too, or have no impact on my sleep. I also always used to think oh but I must not have adhd coz I can focus on something, so long as I'm interested. In fact, sometimes i can't stop. Then I also heard this is a trait?
Load More Replies...Ahhh, the benifits of ADHD...coffee makes me sleepy and focus better (no joke, that's why they take stimulants as meds)
I said it above, things are finally making sense this caffeine making me stable and sleepy thing is one of several adhd things I've recently learned about that I have. I've always been given the diagnosis of generalised anxiety disorder (anxiety without cause)....this is making me wonder if that is perhaps not all that is going on, if caffeine doesn't affect me, I have to constantly fight the desire to tic, and I get so hyper focused on the wrong things or unimportant things I can't make myself stop. I sit down and before I know it I'm up again and back at it
Load More Replies...That’s weird. Is this an old thing? A soda does nothing for me.
I guess I'm lucky. I can drink coffee, coke anything moments before going to bed. It doesn't bother me! When it's time for bed, it's time for bed.
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.
Hey, I personally think everything needs lumbar support. I'm 15 and I don't know what a lumbar is but I do know they need support!
Bless you kiddo, you just gave me back my faith in humanity.
Load More Replies...What was the answer because I need a new chair for the office? ( older millennial here)
Lol I talk to my friends about these sort of things all the time. We see how older people have their bodies damaged and we try to keep ourselves from getting that way
The major utility I worked for in my early 20s (30 years ago) had a mandatory. half-day, paid meeting on the subject of ergonomic AND comfortable seating in the office environment. Definitely appropriately addressed at an early age to avoid issues at a later age.

Wanted to buy a snack and then thought, "no, I have food at home"
Condiments, a jar of 4 year old pickles and 3 bags of bread with only end pieces.
Load More Replies...I think the same! But then I go home and look in the fridge and don't see anything that looks like an easy ready-made meal and decide I don't have anything to eat and then keep opening the fridge one or two times every 15 minutes before concluding I'll have to order take out.
There might be food at home, but probably not what you want to eat! Happens to me all the time and I'm a Boomer!
If it was, you would have eaten it already anyway
Load More Replies...cuz our moms always kept on saying they won't buy us goodies cuz "we have goodies at home!!" , when the goodies at home meant actual food and you just wanted a snack XD now we're too responsible as adults and it feels weird! XD
Some kids ran through my lawn the other day. I'm still recovering.
Thorny hedging plants will stop that. I recommend a nice pyrocantha or barberry
Just imagine if they ran through your lawn, into your house and touched your thermostat.... OH HELLLLLL NAAAAAH
Shouted at mine/neighbour kids playing football, "Watch the cars! And my plants!!" I think I aged another ten years just saying that sentence.
We had a neighbors Grandson doing this. Bad thing was he was driving through another neighbors yard as her family was returning from the hospital right after she passed away. First thing they see as they came up the hill was the guys Grandkids doing donuts all over her yard that she had always push mowed herself.
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 favorite snack to eat when on the laptop (or watching something) is just fresh cauliflower from the fridge, i don't cook it in any way i just wash it real good and eat it while it's cold :3 the crunch is amazing and i don't feel guilty for eating something without being hungry haha

'O better get a bag! I'm out of shredded coconut' was the bougiest moment of my life so fer
Why is the music so loud in here?!
This isn't just a middle-aged thing, a lot of people (including me) are sensitive to loud sounds and it can get overwhelming and I'm gen z
Wait 20 years, and you'll be asking why the music is so soft in here.
i go to concerts and listen to my parents arguing frequently so loud music is my escape mechanism
I'm the complete opposite. Always, "TURN UP THE MUSIC WHY IS IT SO QUIET" even if it's at full volume. Music is my favorite thing.
My husband still blasts his music....because he's made himself deaf by going to too many punk shows in his youth.
I have permanent damage from being at the front of a Cult concert, right beside the speakers. If only we'd had ear plugs then.

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.
Geez... am I millenial-ing wrong? *sips on 3rd beer of the evening while home, alone, reading boredpanda*
Alcohol is a planned event for me now...When I was in my 20's I could drink a lot more, stay up a lot later, and be fine the next day. Now, I need the day after a night of drinking off to recover (mentally and physically).
Absolutely agree, 3 days i have to have after a drink. Its not worth it. Its all types of drinks now instead of just a select few like it used to be.. I hate growing old.
Load More Replies...Same. I am alway have and always do go sleep instead of being intresting as a drunk.
Load More Replies...Really sux when I'm half way through my first drink and the hangover starts BEFORE I fall asleep ...
Alcohol makes me so sleepy too! This is definitely an age thing. One of the few “yikes I’m getting old” things on here. Can’t do it the same as in your 20s
It's the hangover for me in my twenties I could drink like a fish wake up fresher than a daisy and drink again now when I drink I honestly re think my life choices the night before and vow never to make the same mistake again at the same time trying not to die it takes like a full week to recover plus the house is a mess my diet is out the window and life in general sucks lol f**k hangovers
Not really. alcohol doesn't actually help you sleep. just, makes you drowsy. The sleep quality is way worse, though.
Load More Replies...Yes!!! One beer after dinner and I'll be asleep in 30 minutes while my body tries to process everything.
My 29 yo daughter also hates it. Never drinks. Nothing wrong with that.

Load More Replies...We have 2 vintage dressers from the 1940's, made from solid wood and heavy as rocks. They don't match, but so what? And no one talked about little kids pulling these over back in the day.
An antique store is what you want then. I love antique furniture made by craftsmen.
part of hitting middle age is realizing good furniture your parents had is actually really hard to find
All the garbage they sell! It's fake wood! They cut down millions of trees, grind them into little bits, glue them back together in the shape of lumber. What is wrong with just sawing the trees into lumber?? This fake stuff is awful! I still keep a girls vanity and bedroom chests around because they are made out of real wood!
"When you leave a room, turn the light OFF!"
I've become my dad.....
I got so tired of saying this, I've installed motion sensing switches throughout my house: basement, kitchen, hallway. It's actually pretty handy when you come into the room with your hands full, should have done it sooner.
Doesn't work for us. Cats. Highly agile ninja-parkour-nutjob cats. Lights were flashing all over the place like in a cartoon!
Load More Replies...My parents started punishing me whenever I didn't turn the light off; they'd (meaning my dad) would take the light out of the thing. I didn't have a light for about a month.
I just follow my girlfriend around the house turning off the lights.
my boyfriend has a little song about how i always keep all the lights on in the apartment lol i can't see in dull light at all so i keep everything on in order to see anything XD my mother growing up was always also " who is this lamp on for?!" :D
I do it as well to my wife and utterly hated when my dad used to do that to me.
I've just always had it drilled into me. Close a day behind you that was already closed. Turn the light off if there's nobody in the room. Oh and take your shoes off before walking on someone's carpet. It's not rocket science.
"Can the kids (in the park outside) shut up"
I am the grumpy old lady now.
Yes! Me too! And in de store, when a kid screams unnecessarily multiple times i can't help to blurt out 'why?!' Most of the time at least one person is smiling at me in understanding.
I realized I was really "Grandma age" when I set my own stuff down, put on my most stern "I mean business" face, purposely went to the 5 year old carelessly throwing things off of the convenience store shelves, AFTER he had yelled and kicked at his own caregiver (appeared to be his defeated grandmother), grabbed his arm, got down to his level and firmly stated "This is going to stop NOW!!" followed by words about respecting others and their property, not hitting/kicking etc. while he stared at me with eyes like saucers. I then stepped away, looked up to see his grandmother smiling and nodding her head to me, picked my purchases up from the counter and went to my car. Where I continued to observe the now angelic child assist his grandmother in completing their transaction. Palpable gratitude. NEVER would have I imagined doing this to/for complete strangers. And honestly, don't know if it would ever happen again.

LOL Who expects silence in a city, where cars and lorries rumble all day? :D
I can't fix one thing in my house without at least 15 minutes of complaining about the previous owners handiwork.
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.
Or the dumbass who installed the towel rod into the drywall with no mounting screws so now it hangs there half screwed into the wall because your kid decided to yank the towel off the bar at full force one day.
Load More Replies...Oh guys, I do this constantly because I bought a foreclosure. Worst one so far, we had sprung a leak and I was like, "Dang it, let me just bust open every wall in this storage closet to see what the heck is leaking now." Find it, drain pipe from the kitchen with a 3 inch by 1 inch gash...that someone had already found and put duct tape over. They tore a hole in the wall, saw the leak, then duct taped it and put the dry wall back up! It took me all of 5 minutes to cut out the old pipe and put in a new pipe. Total cost is about 25 cents worth of pipe and 10 cents of glue. Those incredibly lazy, worthless, so and sos!
Apparently duct tape doesn't fix everything XD
Load More Replies...Aw man, we had to have an electrician come in because the last guy here used wiring from a frigging lamp cord instead of the proper house wiring when he was remodeling the downstairs and we nearly had a fire when the wiring overloaded.
My dad had to open up the wall for something and found rusty pipes waiting to blow next to live wires and elbows every where. "Well that's special"
When I went to cook a meal for the first time in our new home, I discovered that the stovetop on the kitchen island had been installed backwards. In order not to hit your head on the overhead vent hood/cabinet, you have to stand on the opposite side and reach across the hot burners to reach the switches.
My husband and I bought our first home when i was 27 and he was 33 (technically millennials) which was supposed to be "move in ready". 7 months later we had to redo the entire house because the previous owners had cut through the wall beams to install piping, outlets, etc. Most of the walls have been basically "hanging in the air". So darn right I will be complaining about previous owners handiwork 😂
i hope you sued your surveyor for not picking up on it
Load More Replies...Well, if the job had been done correctly in the first place, you wouldn't have to sort it out, would you? You'd be getting on with the thing you really wanted to do today, or else sat down with a cuppa or a glass of something decent.
I never found out what the previous owner of my mom's house used to glue the disgusting, booger-green tiles to the walls of the downstairs bathroom. Presumably it was the same adhesive used for the thermal protection tiles of the Space Shuttle, because I spent all afternoon chipping them off the wall in postal stamp-sized bits, before my stepdad had enough of it and used the percussion drill
I slapped a crate I had strapped onto the back of my car and said "This isn't going anywhere"

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
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...I just recently spent an hour, yes an hour, comparing the various types of different mattress protectors... the quality, the thickness, the fabric, the price etc. AN HOUR. When I finally decided on which one I wanted I came home like a child at Christmas... stripped the bed instantly so I could put it on. I even phoned my friend in Melbourne to tell him about it because he, too, is in the market for a decent mattress protector. When the hell did this happen?
I recently moved into a new condo that I'm renting, I'm flat broke due to the move, and my mom (who doesn't have much money herself) sent me new sheets, a comforter, pillowcases and a super comfy mattress pad as a surprise early birthday present. I literally jumped for joy. And pulled something in my back in the process.

Went to an amusement park - realized my head didn't like roller coasters anymore. Said to my friends, "Are there any shows we can go to?"
Might have gotten mild whiplash on the Corkscrew at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. Headache, nausea, stiff neck, etc. Never happened BEFORE 35...

They're all kept in a drawer in the kitchen which I call "dads drawer" but which my wife calls "the drawer of useless crap!"
Ah, yes, or as my hubby calls it, "My wife's closet." And, FYI, that toilet tank top I saved? Very handy when someone (hubby) dropped the tank's lid so I could fix the "weird noise". Ha! Never useless! Never! *maniacal laughter*..... Also, those manuals come in oddly handy.
