Personal Pet Peeve

[callistotoni]

People approximately 10 years younger than I am complaining about how old they are.
Grrrr. I am 46 y.o. If you are younger than that please refrain from the above, at least within my hearing. You have been warned. Grrr.

I can completely understand your peeve. I work with people like that and it is irritating.

Hee. It does seem weird, doesn't it?

It's not the age, it's the mileage!!!

I, too, am sick of these moaning Mrytles. I would like to tell them all (are any listening?) if you feel old, *do* something about it--get some exercise, get a makeover, new wardrobe, new job, new lover, whatever--just shut the H**l up already. Until I can actually hear your bones creaking from outside your body, you are not "old". :-)

Well... what if one _can_ hear my bones creaking from outside my body?? [grin]
What amazes me are folks who make those complaints tend to have no genuine reason to do so (except maybe a bit of partying too hard).
You don't hear *me* complaining about how old I've gotten... even if my body has decided it's 80. ;-) I'm just grateful I've made it this far mostly intact, and hope to have many many more decades of intactness.

You forgot to add to you list to get a dyejob. So far I've only found two "single strand platinum highlights". When more appear it will be time for better living through chemistry.

'Specially since none of us (including myself, and those who have commented so far) are what *I* would call particularly old!

be secure in the fact that you are incredibly fetching. Age is irrevelant. ;)

[goldenstag.livejournal.com]

Fetching? (Haven't heard that used in a long time to describe someone) She's a dish -- no question there ...

sing it sistah!

(speaks one is who is older than most of her posse. which they keep forgetting. which I think is a compliment? well, that's how I choose to take it, anyway... ;))

I just wish I bounced like I did when I was 30. like when you come off your horse and bounce instead of breaking.

The spouse says that if you want to get together for dinner some evening we can commiserate about getting old, or perhaps not ... it's an excuse to get together, anyway. <g>
