Work: Indoctrinated

Indoctrinated

By workfordayzz - 14/05/2014 17:45 - United States

Today, I realized that because of my construction job, I have spent such a huge amount of time with older, cynical guys that I keep uncontrollably using the phrase "fucking kids these days" regularly like an idiot. I'm 18. FML

Today, a student of mine used the phrase "well, you know, like back in your day" about defining "going out". I'm only 24. FML

Today, at work I put myself squarely in the lame / old people category when I foolishly asked out loud what FML meant. FML

Today, a cute new guy I always run into at work hit on me. Turns out he's only 18. I'm old enough to be his mom. FML

Today, while at my tutoring job, a middle school kid couldn't find a word in the online dictionary. I told him he could check a regular paperback dictionary. His response was, "That's what you did in your day. That's not what we do in our day." I'm only 19. FML

The grey zone

Today, man do I feel old. For the first time ever, a teen thug with more acne spots than brain cells told me to, “Piss off grandad.” Grandad? Guess I look older than I feel. FML

Meat beating

Today, I attended a family gathering where everyone was taking turns sharing exciting life updates. When it was my turn, I proudly announced that I'd finally mastered the art of adulting... only for my dad to pipe up with, "Makes a change from when you used to wank like a gibbon thinking we couldn't hear you up there."

School of hard knocks

By Anonymous - 26/08/2022 10:00

Today, I'm 23 years-old and most of the people in my grade who I went to highschool with are taking vacations every month with their rich and supportive parents or their significant others. Some of them have never worked a job. I have to work every day just to make rent, and cut off my judgemental unsupportive family. FML

Today, I was asked if I had children who are in high school. I’m 17. This isn't the first time someone has mistaken me for a woman in her twenties. FML

Unforgettable

By Edward - 09/12/2021 13:59

Today, I realized that since I was in elementary school, my friends, my workmates, and even my family, all call me accidentally by someone else's name instead of my actual name. I'm 30 years-old. FML

Learn to hate the world early, it'll save you a lot of time learning the hard way.

It just shows that you're mature at a young age

Nah, it shows nothing of Op's maturity. What it does show is that he is just simply impressionable. That's it. Not really a big deal at all.

I don't understand how cynicism is maturity. In fact, the inability to understand that a certain age demographic is going to behave a certain way and ultimately mature later is a sign of immaturity.

You don't have to spend time around cynical older adults..you just have to spend time in high school listening to the sophomores who don't know what responsibility means.

All it takes is one news story about a ******* kid who posts pictures of his crime on Facebook, or had to check facebook midcrime, and ends up arrested because of it.

Once you get in the "real world" and work to pay bills, it becomes easy to refer to anyone younger as a ******* kid. Just remember you were there too and they will figure it out like you.
