Top 5 Annoying Things Adults Say

I'm not real sure how this age thing works - I may be a bit hypocritical here - but why do old people love to throw out these one liners that have absolutely no acceptable response? They have catch phrases that are like stun guns. Really annoying stun guns.

What am I talking about?

I'm talking about the Top 5 Annoying Things Adults Say That Warrant Absolutely No Response. I've also added things I scream at the top of my lungs (the lungs in my head) when I hear these.

1. Hot enough for ya?

Yes - because it feels like I am in hell, now.

2. (while cleaning / mowing) Are you going to come do mine next?

Do you mean your daughter?

3. I remember when you were still in diapers!

Really? Because you seemed old to me then, too.

4. Back in MY day...

We'll see where that nickel gets you now, Grandpa.

5. I remember when gas was $2.50 a gallon!

Ahhh the good ol' days.

Number 6- I'm not going to meet you out for Happy Hour on Friday because I have a chiropractor appointment.

My industry is filled with old timers, so I spend a lot of time grinning and bearing these types of remarks. Sometimes it's about all I can do to keep from rolling my eyes.

When I received my license, gas was .99. Yes, 99 CENTS.

I guess I'm older than you.

Adults are the fucking worst. That's why I try and act like a little boy as often as possible.

I remember when gas was $1.08!

Oh.

Wait.

Uhm.

I think that clumps me into the annoying adult category.

Oops?

I hate when they say:

"LET GO OF MY BEEF!!"

They don't say it often, but when they do, MAN, does that piss me off.
