You know you live in 2005....

you know you live in 2005 when....





1) you accidentally enter your password on a microwave












2) you haven't played solitaire with real cards in years










3) the reaL reason for not staying in touch with your friends is that they don't have a screen name









4) you'd rather look all over the house for the remote instead of just pushing to button on the tv.









6) your boss doesnt even have the ability to do your job.









7) you read this list, & keep nodding and smiling






8) as you read this list, you think about sending it to all your
friends









9) and.. you were to busy to notice number 5.










10) you actually scrolled back up to check that there was no 5







11) & now you're laughing at your stupidity





I saw this, and loved it IS it funny? Or am I just really immature?

That's great.

Some psychologist must have written that one .

Maybe we should think of other things to add to that list.

I got a similar email, and here are some other ones:

-You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

-You e-mail your friend who works at the desk next to you.

-When you make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial "0" or "9" to get an outside line.

-You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies.

-Contractors out-number permanent staff and are more likely to get long-service awards.

That thing really just read my mind, I scrolled up to see if I missed it, I did everything it said. I usually ignore emails like that.

Yeah I fell for the "number 5" rule and laughed to myself about it and nodded and smiled as well. Welcome to the computer age

- when talking to your friends in real life, sou say "lol" instead of doing the actual laughing
- before telling something, you clearly mention whether it takes place in "real life" or "on the internet"
- most of your stories take place in the latter anyway
