Off Topic The generation gap.

I paid nothing to the old man when I left school.

But the deal was I had to work or I moved out.

So I got a dream job sat on my arse from 11-8 in a video shop 7 days a week earning £3 an hour.

£189 a week cash in hand for doing very little (Blockbuster were ****ing the independents at the time) and a few quid extra selling posters on the side. In the pub for 8.30, slept til 10.

I went to Uni with money in the bank and a superb booze tolerance.

 

Every generation thinks the generation after theirs is morally corrupt and lazy.

Evidence of it going all the way back to classical Roman/Greek times.

In reality generations are no different than each other there are just different fads and people tend to be lazy when young.

 

No doubt tgd youngsters today are ****ed up, in the main

I grew up in a rough area but even the gangsters and dealers had "rules" . today these ****ers give it large but cry like ****s

I blame the parents tbh, and to kick it all off, especially the mothers. If I got s bad report from school my mum didn't go fight the teacher whilst complained ng teachers didn't do enough. No a detention meant a beating from home too

Now ****ing keanu and Brittany are never wrong. And naughty step??? Wtf as if you could sit after getting your ass whipped

 

I find youngsters expect everything done for them and have an expectation of entitlement.

IE I have a degree and should be paid £££££££ more than the person with no degree.
But where my generation much different (80s teenager)?

 

See my sig.

 

I work with kids then go home to kids. Someone shoot me.

 

I don't get the whole adults living with their parents thing, never right.

I know housing costs are prohibitive these days for teenagers to leave home, but the number of adults in their 20's and 30's living at home these days is huge. I find it ****ing weird, as I have lived on my own since I was 16.

 

Disagree.

There is a decreasing lack of social courtesy and
increasing sense of entitlement with each generation.

 

Thats because it probably cost £150 a month to rent a flat when you left home.

Now, even for a ****ty bedsit, or box flat, you are looking at £400-£500 a month just on rent.
Then with bills on top of that?
Why go live in a hovel and pay a fortune when you can live in a 3 bed semi, with a live in maid and chef?
I can totally see why people stay at home.

 

^^^^^
lived with his parents til he was 30...

 

I was 19 when I moved out, but thats only because my dad bought a new pub and it had a flat above it that he wanted to live in, so he gave me his flat (he didnt sign it over to me, but let me and my wife (then girlfriend) live in it.

Didn't buy my first house till I was 23, and then I got MASSIVE help from the father in law, who is loaded. He was the guarantor on the mortgage, meaning if I defaulted HE would be liable to pay it, and he GAVE (gave, not lent), us £15,000 for the deposit.

Otherwise I probably would have been living with my mum way in to my 20's.

 

Are you planning on bumping the father in law off if it looks like he's going to live too long for you to enjoy his money?

 

My oldest and his group of mates are all ok, not had much trouble with them. They were all a bit scared of me though so that helped. The boys in my daughters year are a bit more hard work and as I've got older they are less scared which is a problem but that's easy to sort out if need be.

It's the chav scumbags that are the problem, the ones who do ok in school and stick to groups like footy or rugby get that sense of togetherness and realise they have to work together early on. Not had a problem at all so far. Now my youngest and that bunch seem like a right bunch of idiots.

 

Nah it would be more profitable to bump off the brother in law.
If I bump off the father in law, me and the wife get half of his money now, but my brother in law gets the other half.
If I bump off the brother in law, when the father in law goes, my wife gets it ALL!!!

muhahaha

 

When I was six years old, I broke my leg. I was running from my brother and his friends. We found weekend jobs. When we got paid we'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight. Then I bought a castle on the hill. Hee hee.

I was only 14 but already very successful and wealthy.

 

.....huh?

 

I was washing cars and robbing people by the age of 15. ****ing kids these days barely even bother washing cars, admittedly robbing people is a better earner.

I'd also cut your grass for £5.

Playground tickets = £1 per day.

Spliffs (rolled up red Marlboro with no weed) = £2

Getting mouthy = beating or £5

Now it's just chatroulette and dick pics. ****ing losers.

 

You'd have made more money washing people and robbing cars.

 

I used rip the lead lining off our school roof and sell it at the scrap yard.
I washed cars also.
I also made fake sponsorship forms and got people to give me sponsorship money, in advance, for sporting events that were never going to happen.
(Made over £100 in one week during a summer holiday doing that).

 

That's ****ing sickening....













(good idea though).
