The entitlement of the younglins these days. I swear, they are getting soft. I have to take the current year, and add twenty, but the lazy ass youth just have to subtract their birth year from the current year. Maths will suffer because they don’t have to do addition. Pure insanity and liberal malarkey.
I think it’s fairly common that people do some math in their head, specially when they get older than 30. Because it doesn’t matter really, you never need to tell anyone how old you are anymore. Well unless you use dating apps I guess, or date people… Nobody else asks your age.
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been on one of those apps but do they not just ask for your birthday and simply calculate your age…? Surely dating apps don’t require you to update your age manually every year right…
I guess if you’re not using an app then sure but you could just as well tell your birth year and if it’s close enough it’s probably fine. 🤷
Pretending you’re blind and deaf to popular culture (to the extent where you claim to have never heard of one of the best-selling artists of all time) is an order of magnitude more cringe and obnoxious than people who obsess over celebrities.
I’m not pretending, I’m just old. :) Not interested in any of that. You probably realize that there is an age when you just stop caring about all that shit. If not, you will see for yourself later in life.
Do you guys not remember how old you are year to year? Are you frequently calculating your age from your birth year instead of just adding 1 to it on your birthday?
No, I’m mid-40’s, but I usually don’t forget my age. LOL. Although a couple of months ago someone asked how old I am and I said I was 10 years younger than I actually am. I didn’t realize what I had done until the next day.
I find that the older I get, the less I discuss or think about my age throughout the year so it gets more difficult to remember. Also, my birthday is in January so it’s over pretty quickly and I don’t tend to think about it again while I’m busy thinking about my 4 kids birthdays that are coming up, instead!
Got to tell you, friend… birthdays don’t matter that much after you’re a few decades down the road. Just another day closer to death, but maybe you get to go out to a nice restaurant.
I always thought it was nuts that people don’t remember, then I turned 30 and got married to someone who has a birthday less than a year before mine. Now I have two ages to remember (that are sometimes the same) and it takes a second for me to remember which is me when asked.
Yes! Preach! This is me too. And in addition to being poor at maths I’m also not articulate so I just end up looking goofy when trying to figure out which age is me.
