2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.

3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.

4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.

5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator.

6. You watch the Weather Channel.

7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of "hook up" and "break up."

8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.

9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."

10. You're the one calling the police because those damn kids
next door won't turn down the stereo.

11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.

12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.

13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.

14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers.

15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.

16. You take naps from noon to 6 PM

17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.

18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset,
rather than settle, your stomach.

19. If you're a gal, you go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.

20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff."

21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.

22. "I just can't drink the way I used to" replaces "I'm never going
to drink that much again."

23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.

24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.

25. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that
doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old butt.


BONUS: When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead of asking "Oh crap What Happened ??

I have been accused of being an Anglofobe, but since some of my family lives there there must be some traces in my bloodline ;)

You jumped the QRZ ship, landed on Ham Island and you're NOT going to return the lifeboat.

1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.

I dont like flowers or plants of any kind in my house.

2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.

It was always out of the question.

3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.

I dont drink.

4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.

...I get up at 8AM...Getting closer.

5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator.

This actually has happened. Though, the song is not from my generation.

6. You watch the Weather Channel.

I dont watch TV.

7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of "hook up" and "break up."

My youngest friend is 8 years older than I. This has been happening for a long time.

8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.

Why in gods name would I work 180 consecutive days when I can make over the average annual income in 6 months. Granted, my working is supplemental to home businesses. IE a third job.

9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."

They never did, I like nice clothing.

10. You're the one calling the police because those damn kids
next door won't turn down the stereo.

I dont have this issue. I bitch about the neighbors bird squawking at 4AM.

11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.

...Yeah...not that I care to hear about it. I dont really like to hear about the sex life of others. Particularly my swinging weird family. (To each their own but I dont wanna know about my uncle sharing my aunt with my other uncle.)

12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.

3AM. I like taco bell. My dad likes taco bell and hes 50. (I know, growing up and growing old are different.)

13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.

I bought all three of my cars cash. One of which was an '05 in '05.

14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers.

I feed my dog food that comes in a brown bag that weighs 50 lbs. Dad's or something like that.

15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.

I dont even like sleeping in beds from a hotel. I enjoy my own bed. Never will I sleep on a couch.

16. You take naps from noon to 6 PM

I cant nap. I have tried but I am too worried about waking up to sleep. And if I slept that long I wouldnt sleep again at night.

17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.

That is a whole date...unless I am missing something. Sex isnt part of the date it is what happens after.

18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset,
rather than settle, your stomach.

It would at 3PM as well.

19. If you're a gal, you go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.

I am male therefore this does not apply.

20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff."

That would be dog piss.

21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.

I never eat breakfast foods. Eggs and such are very hard on my stomach.

22. "I just can't drink the way I used to" replaces "I'm never going
to drink that much again."

Again, I do not drink.

23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.

Catch 22. I work in front of the pc all day and play at the same time. At times I get paid to play.

24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.

Dont drink for the last time. :P

25. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that
doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old butt.

I failed on this one. Did not look for anything but rather answered everything.

BONUS: When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead of asking "Oh crap What Happened ?

Sounds normal to me.
