With the rapid technological advances made this century, many people
the world over are suffering from 20th Century burnout. Here are some
sure-fire signs that you've had too much of the '90s.
1. You try to enter your PIN number on the microwave.
2. You haven't played Patience with real cards in years.
3. You have 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.
4. You e-mail your work colleague at a couple of desks away from you
to ask "fancy going down the pub?" and they send back the reply
"yeah, give me five minutes."
5. You chat several times a day with a stranger from Equador/Ireland/
Qatar/etc... but you haven't spoken to your next door neighbour
yet this year.
6. You buy a computer and a week later it's out of date.
7. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends is that they
don't have e-mail addresses.
8. You consider the Royal Mail painfully slow.
9. Your idea of being organised is multiple coloured post-it notes.
10. You get most of your jokes via e-mail instead of in person.
11. When you go home after a long day at work you accidently answer
the phone with "... speaking, how can I help you?"
12. When you make phone calls from home, you accidently dial a 9 first
to get an outside line.
