Kernel Kraken Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I feel like "obsessive fortnighters who never look away from their phones" is a nice name for my generation. If your going by what year you become an adult, nearly everyone I've met yet so far is a generation OFWNLAFTF (the acronym for the above listed generation) -er.

kerbiloid Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Say, in far future alien archaeologists have found a capsule of a today's spaceship, They want to make a gypsum mold of the crew seats to know what the humans were looking like. And what will they get? Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH some of you never lived from the era without smartphones (I was 2 yrs earlier than the new millenia, and let's not forget, where I live it's all a bit late). Saying you can't get away from a phone is like saying to the baby boomers they never went away from using cars. That title might have stuck to me before though. The Internet on phone, while new, was exciting. Edited April 3, 2018 by YNM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Internet on phone, while new, was exciting. Cars used to be deathtraps compared to todays vehicles and we fixed that. Walking into people because your're staring at your phone whilst walking, or walking/driving into a lake because you cant take your eyes off the GPS display, are examples of behaviour that is stupid regardless of generation. Walking into a lake because your phone is too alluring is todays equivalent of cars with no seatbelts and unlaminated windscreens. It needs to be rectified.

Its the ones that walk into me that need re-training. I mean, you smash a phone out of a little girls hand once and everyone is all "how could you?" and "youre a monster".

If my fellow generation- fortniters are that preoccupied with their phone as to walk off a cliff trying to catch a Pikachu they deserve to succumb to natural selection.

At least half the girls I know are taller than me, and it's pretty awkward when you're trying to hit on them but you notice you couldn't reach her lips with both standing up normally if you were to kiss.

If my fellow generation- fortniters are that preoccupied with their phone as to walk off a cliff trying to catch a Pikachu they deserve to succumb to natural selection. I feel like this generation will have the shortest life expectancy of all others. Last week on campus, I almost ran over a student because she walked in front of my car on campus. The posted speed limit is 20, but I was going 15, as I always do. Luckily, she also walked in front of a campus security officer going the opposite way from me. The campus security officer jumped out of her car and demanded the girl come and talk to her... and the cell-phone-texting girl just kept on walking... Had I been going 20 miles an hour, I would have hit this girl... and she never would have realized why she was hit. She was too busy on that cell phone.

DarkOwl57 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 When people see me writing in my notebook with ideas, they always ask me what I'm doing. I'm fine with telling them ("Oh, just writing for my story,") but what really peeves me off is when they ask to read it! If I wanted people to read the unfinished product, I'd shout every word out loud as I write it instead of being hunched over in my chair, huddled in a corner silently writing. And then they ask why they can't. IT'S MY OWN WORK! I'LL DECIDE WHEN I LET PEOPLE READ. ... I think I just realized why no-one likes me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminded me of how it really grinds my gears when someone is serving me food (maybe my fiance is making dinner, for example) and they go "Is that enough food?" and Im like "Yup, tons." and they're all "Are you sure?" "Yes." "Sure? Let me just give you some more so its really hard to keep on the plate." "No thanks" "Just a bit then?" Or "Do you want some mushrooms/tomato/cabbage/other thing I really ought to know by now that you dont like?" "No thanks" "Are you sure?" etc etc etc And the related: "Do you want any XYZ?" "No thanks, Im not a huge fan of XYZ." "But you havnt tried MY XYZ?" Oh really? And did you use olives that inexplicably taste completely different to every other olive on earth? Or did you somehow manage to change the texture of bananas? I assure you, no matter how you cook YOUR cabbage, its still gonna taste like garbage covered feet. BECAUSE I DONT LIKE FRICKEN CABBAGE OK? WOULD YOU LIKE SOME PAIN? NO? BUT ARE YOU SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURE?????????? HAVE YOU TRIED MY PAIN ITS LOVELY!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
