Old vs Young


After hanging out with the "young folks" for awhile, I have learned quite a few differences.

1.) Young people are ALWAYS opening the dishwasher door to remove CLEAN dishes. That's how they empty it.....one dish at a time. OLD folks just wash the dishes by hand and put them up all at one time.

2.) Old folks wash the clothes, put them in the dryer, wait for the dryer to buzz, remove, then fold the clothes before they wrinkle. YOUNG folks forget the clothes in  the washer, NEVER hear the dryer buzz, and throw the clothes BACK in the dryer to get the wrinkles out.

3.) Young people clean out their car by throwing everything in the back seat to make room for a passenger in the front seat. OLD people always pick up a stray napkin or cup and throw it away BEFORE they ever get into their car. (They can't stand to have stray items roll under their feet).

4.) Young people like to visit the grocery store at least 3 or 4 times a week. OLD people prefer to go once a month, with an occasional drop in for bread, milk, and eggs. (The funny part here is when the young people are eating most of their meals out, why still so many trips to the store)

5.) OLD folks usually try to answer their calls on the 2nd or 3rd rings......before the answering machine picks up. YOUNG folks NEVER answer their phones. They rather listen to a recorded message, then they don't have to reply back! There again, OLD folks almost always return their calls, where as young folks don't feel the need to.

6) OLD folks leave close to an hour before a scheduled appointment. Most YOUNG folks give themselves 5 minutes to get there.

What other differences can you think of?
