    Fuck dude i remember being 24 and i was out drinking with friends. I met a guy who looked about my age and a good bit shorter than me. At some point he said he’s 32, and i could not believe that i met that man from the begone area, that looked so young. In fact i was so amused by that fact that i paraded him around and showed him off to my friends. “Hey, guess his age.” WRONG, he’s 3 2 years old, van you believe that? He’s just like us.

    I think about that guy about once a week and remember when i was 32… 7 years ago.

        And it really ramps up the older you get. I always thought i’ll never be out of touch, because i grew up with the internet and i play video games with often younger people i assume. But then i worked with 3 electricians for example. They were super far behind because they sat on their phones a lot (not just, but it didn’t help.) i didn’t want to be that guy so i just let them be. It was quite surreal to me to see a bunch of guys playing fortnite on their break. The problem was that i look really young, so they often think i’m one of them. So i pulled one of them aside and told them that they are like 2 weeks behind and need to be finished in a week and they really need to get their shit together. He dabbed at me, said okay and went to work. I thought this is some “i think you should leave” skit.
