To the adults that think they get to tell me what’s what and verge on disciplining me, think for a moment. We’re equal. Just because I’m younger, I’m still an adult. When you go into your rants of some explanation about why I shouldn’t or should have done something and expect me to listen and placate you, I can’t stand your repetitive pointless sentences and prods of superiority. I’m going to leave or tell you I get it already, because we both get to do what we want and I’m hardly a ‘little snot’ for making my own choice and not assenting. —I’m Not Your Child
This article appears in Sep 15-21, 2011.
But you are acting like a child and apparently others think you require discipline…..so, can they all be far off the mark?
Immature gunt.
You sure SOUND like a child, OB.
Lemmie guess — some 18/19 year old who thinks they know everything, amirite?
their game… you’re a SET… and match-ing bitch panties.
I guess ‘respect your elders’ never crossed your mind.
though it never should have been shortened from
‘respect your elders…. if you ever want to be one’.
Your a big kid now eh!!
Well, if you were smart as you were stupid you would listen to them because then you would know what you know and what they know which would make you twice as smart. Imagine that!
You don’t always have to take advise from others but you should be thankful they care enough to give it to you.
You want to be treated like an adult well start acting like one

lol the combined age of the commenters on this thread probably reads like the total points scored in an NBA All Star game. And it’s still early.
you know it bitch^^ http://www.gymfails.com/wp-content/uploads…
That guy needs a serious back wax! 😛
lol that’s one of the best animal pics I’ve seen since I’ve been posting here. Props PG.
(that means “good for you”)
Dude, if you are living in your parents house you need to follow their rules. Until you actually support yourself you are not an adult and you need to be put in your place.
PAY YOUR WAY, or shut up.
haha, thanks tommy, i actually knew what that meant…for a change^^
OB is probably some welfare whore who got knocked up at 19. Way to go with your decision, adult.
I identify with this Bitch because I do find that a lot of folks talk to people in their twenties and late teens like they are children. Condescending, thus the chip on the shoulder. Old people love to talk about how f’d up the world is like it’s our fault. Hello? We just got here. The economy, our culture (or lack thereof) all that shit happened on YOUR generation’s watch. So eat a big slice of humble pie ya geezers!
I don’t buy into the notion that just because someone has been on this planet longer that they deserve any more or less respect. People’s actions determine my respect for them. Period.
Equality is a two way street.
:P:P:P
lol I like PG she’s a good sport.
unless i lose at euchre, then i get all horrid
if you ever mouthed off to me like what you are doing now, i guarentee that you would have a sore ass, or face. what an ignorant little fuckhead you are.
you should be glad someone wants you to learn right from wrong, instead of being the next body bag from spryfield. i feel this is a fake bitch, cause no one with half a mind, would dare come here and write this shit.
that is unless they are totally fucking retarded, or just plain stupid. grow the fuck up asshole, or you will will get fucked, when you go to jail.
Ooohhh, I haven’t played Euchre in a dog’s age!
hugo knows how to play, now we just need a fourth
LS you truly are an old goat.
What, you took kindly to being told who was who and what was what when you were young? Unlikely.
Is there an iPhone app for this Euchre game?
Yes, yes there is 🙂

Easy to learn, hard to master.
hahahaha thanks Hugo. I might check it out.
Lol I was just bein a smart ass when I asked, thanks for out smart-assing me
what a fucking world we live in!!! hugo is correct, the bear would win a hand and i was like “you made it with a king and a ten”?
Okay… so as soon as Tommy learns how to play it’ll be the 1st Annual Halifax Bitchers Society Full Contact Euchre Tournament?
I am so down for that!
Let me guess. You’re 18? 19?
Grow up. You are a kid. You THINK you’re an adult just like you THOUGHT you were an adult when you were 12. Remember being 12? And how you stupidly assumed you knew everything and now you look back and realize you were a dumbass 12 year old? That’s how you’ll see your NOW self 10 years form now. And in another 10 years you’ll see THAT self as being a dumbass punk.
Here’s the deal. Older adults didn’t talk to me like that when i was 19 because i UNDERSTOOD that i didn’t know shit compared to them. You only think you know it all because you don’t know any better.
I don’t know how the fuck you think “adults” treat each other but there are constant power struggles until the day you die. This may not even be because you’re younger than they are but because you’re a weak willed whiny bitch. And if that’s the case, you’re gonna get treated like a dumbass forever.
Shut up and put more damn foam on the customers latte, ya little weasel, or no testing at breaktime!!
Op thinks this is an age related issue yet I have found that there are no shortage of people of any age who think it is their business to tell you “what’s what on the verge of discipline”. These busybodies need to mind more of their own business and less of other people’s and just let people learn from their own mistakes because they don’t learn any other way.
You just wait until your father gets home from work!
Meh. Boring…
“Ooh, I’m a kid/young adult and people talk down to me! Waa waaa waaaaa!”
Grow up, push out a couple of your own, then treat them like they’re stupid!
What goes arou-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Wheelie’s skipped a groove again!
Think of it as training for when you ARE the same age or older and are micromanaged by condescending dipshits who’s only claim to fame is that they stuck it out long enough…
Listen up boy, I’ve got something to tell ya…

actually tj, i was a good kid til i turned 22 or so. then my real daddy, satan, taught me all kinds of neat disstructive shit. and this is how we make pipe bombs, not too much black powder now. here, add some nice headless nail, harder to get out of their hides. thank you daddy.
by the way, i do have a blasting license, since i started my own company, for just that. ka-fucking-boom, y’all.
Oooooh Tommy! I just got an iPhone tonight! I’m postin from it now! <3
“I guess ‘respect your elders’ never crossed your mind.”
‘Respect your elders’ was a principle taught to children so the parents could kick them outside to play in the neighborhood. All parents kicked their kids out, and then they collective bossed them around to keep them under control.
“Oooooh Tommy! I just got an iPhone tonight! I’m postin from it now! “
Hey look me up if you ever crack the screen. I’m in the process of DIYing my wife’s phone.
I can relate to this bitch, to some degree. I’m 22 and I’ve been living on my own since I was 18; working & traveling, but always paying my own way. I hardly think that I know everything (far from it), but I’d like to think that I’m capable of making my own decisions in regards to *my* life and what *I* want (right now, or in the future). Few things irritate me more than someone assuming that, because they’re older, they know what’s best for *me* and *my* life. And it happens more than you’d think it would; everyone seems to have some opinion or some snippet of advice to give. When I told one older individual that I was pursuing psychology and/or social work, with absolutely no interest in working with children, he rather forcefully tried to convince me that I could never make it if I worked with adults.
This was someone who doesn’t know me, or my background. He also has no personal experience as a social worker or psychologist.
Parents and family members aren’t really my problem here; I’m talking about random acquaintances who offer unsolicited advice when they don’t even know the details of my life, or who I am as a person. All they know is that I’m a younger twenty-some, and apparently that’s all they need to know. *shrugs*
I try to be respectful of everyone, but that has everything to do with common decency, and absolutely nothing to do with age.
Wow, sorry, that turned into a bit of a tangent. 🙂
OP, you have to remember that when people get er.. fiftyish, people in their twenties look fourteen. An exaggeration but sometimes it feels like you are talking a child. They look that young some of them.
Personally, I do not tend to dole out advice unless it’s asked for but if I work with a youngster, I will give unsolicited advice if I feel it’s needed.
I also feel, that in OP’s case, there might be a little oversensitivity, a little insecurity. I was the same way back then. I tended to follow my own path and damned with any advice or suggestions from anybody else. I learned the hard way that I didn’t know it all.
My only advice, and it’s solicited because it’s a bitch board, is that maybe sometimes the old-timers know a thing or two about life. Maybe just listen, you don’t have to act on it.
Actually, I can say I’ve been in this situation. I’ve always related to adults because I’m an only child and I was more so around adults than kids growing up. I mean, my dad and I were discussing politics when I was 10, and by the time I was 6 I was watching the nightly news and 60 minutes with my folks.
I was always the kid/teenager that would rather sit with the adults while we were visiting my family or family friends rather than play with the other kids.
So, when I started working, especially on my internships, I’d end up working with people who were my parents’ age, which I related to perfectly well, but they saw me as one of their kids because I was their kids’ ages, and would treat me as such.
It was unprofessional and annoying.
My every move was criticized a lot of the time — even things as ridiculous as what I was eating for lunch. I remember on more than one occasion being criticized because I was eating a sandwich on white bread instead of whole wheat.
This was by co-workers! My MOTHER doesn’t even criticize my choice of food for meals!
So I *can* see a bit of validity to what OP’s bitching about. However, I agree with the topic more so than OP’s rambling, because he/she really does sound like an 18/19 year old little shit who thinks they know everything (lol, I’m only 29 and the older I get, the more I realize I don’t know, dude).
I dunno, it sucks being treated like a kid by your co workers just because their kids are around your age and they see you as one of their kids, but it especially sucks when your parents have treated you like a little adult your entire life. I’ve been making my own decisions since I was very young and my house was always like a democracy more than a dictatorship.
Sure this might be a valid bitch but i hardly see it as a wide spread problem. Imo, the adults getting lectured the most are probably in need of that extra amount of lecturing that many of us didnt need or receive. Furthermore, i’ll bet that most of us didnt get lectured much.
If I wanted your opinion, kid, I’d beat it into you.
ROFL friend of mine was full of those lines…
I didn’t say the bitch was valid, GV, only the general topic 😛
I think my concern speaks more to the divide between baby boomer workers and the new generation of workers coming into the workforce that are the children of the BBs. There’s a considerable disconnect between the way each generation sees work and their philosophy on the workplace, itself.
Based on most people I talk to in the hiring world, there is a considerable disconnect in what these young’uns think they will earn vs. reality, and a HUGE disconnect between work req’d and work output.
I just cracked the screen on my iPod touch about a month ago, GV. Can you fix it? Send me an e-mail leger.tom@gmail.com
