You know you're living in 2004 when...

You know you're living in 2004 when...

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.

6. You go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in a business manner.

7. You make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial "9" to get an outside line.

8. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three
different companies.

10. You learn about your redundancy on the 11 o'clock news.

11. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job.

12. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.

13. Every commercial on television has a website at the bottom of the screen.

14. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

15. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.

16. You actually say "lol" when laughing at something someone says in person!

17. You start tilting your head sideways to smile.

18. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

19. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

20. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.

Some chuckles here and there, but otherwise pretty lame.

This is sad.

2,3,4,6,7,11,14,15 fits me

Very funny. Numbers 3 and 5 had me laughing out loud.

I thought they were cute, but only 18 made me laugh. Seriously.

Call me whatever you want, but I refuse to have a cell phone. I like being unavailable...

Ya, the last ones got me. I liked that list.

Only the last two made me laugh. It's quite sad and applicable, but not really meriting a good hearty chortle.

After saying "yes" to that entire list, how do we know we're not still in 2003?

Generally lame (most of them don't even make any sense or are really, really forced), especially the last two about #9. One was enough, but two was just stupid...

I hope you didn't make these up yourself.

I didn't; got them from another message board and thought, oh what the hell.

#2 and #3 made me laugh because of the "funny-'cause-it's-true" factor, but the rest was nothing special.

They've been floating about for years.

I think it started as "You know it's 2000 when..."

Number 8 was very good.
