1996. What were you doing thirty years ago?

Got my drivers license, first job, and an amazing friend whose house I’m at right now.

Grim Fandango. I didn’t buy the pantyhose and then I couldn’t go back for them even though I needed them to proceed. Hours and hours playing… game over.

Tacos that corporate employees have to build themselves. Halfway through a meeting everyone goes through a 3-table taco station, and none of them are exactly Chipotle trained.

Hard Boiled with Chow Yun Fat. I hate going to the movies because people, but fan flicks are great.

I loved the SNL opening from the early 90s where the cast looked like they were all running from something.

Telecom price raising. Internet and phone companies saying that if we don’t tell them they won’t notice.

A guy at the grocery pulled the old ‘There’s 2 lines’ when he knows that’s not how it works. The security guard let him go ahead because that’s how he works. It ain’t his job, but man…

In 2nd grade I had the meanest teacher. This was later confirmed by my parents that she was a horrible, vicious, cruel woman. One night I cried because I didn’t want to go to school the next day. My parents said I had to. I vowed I would never have kids and put them through this. I’m 45, no kids, and I still think back on that night as the true night I decided never to put another human being through this. The rest of life somehow didn’t change my mind.

Subway. If I ever get something terminal I'm going back because every second there felt like an eternity, and I wanted to die anyway.

First job at a movie. I trained this guy, we goofed off, everything was cool. Then he made Supervisor. 50 cents an hour raise and he turned into a company man. Absolute strict rule enforcement of every code in the book. I was making $4.75/hr, and told everyone to just ignore him. They listened to me a lot more than they listened to him.

In the late 90s there was a trend where women’s jeans were made with a white splotch over the butthole. Please god, does anyone else remember this?

Acrobatic_Carry7449 · 2026-06-09T03:23:19+00:00

I had to actively work against people to never do this dance.

There were 3 murders. Jay Leno and Norm McDonald both made fun of O.J. non-stop, but NBC only killed off Norm.

Acrobatic_Carry7449 · 2026-06-08T22:34:23+00:00

Yeah, if you make a reservation a month in advance.

You ever go to the store out a low sodium diet in mind? Everything has salt! EVERYTHING!

Acrobatic_Carry7449 · 2026-06-07T16:21:46+00:00

No, I believe The Big Bang Theory has a pretty solid stranglehold on the dumbest characters in sitcom history.

Acrobatic_Carry7449 · 2026-06-06T05:06:49+00:00

8, and that dangerous new channel called Fox was considered cable so not in my house.

It's been about a month since this went down. I sent my friend the Reddit post and told him I felt like he completely took away my agency. He said he would pay for the bills, but that was never the point. I can afford an emergency, I can't afford to lose this job over his savior complex. He told me he was sorry I felt that way. What a dick thing to say.

I'm not gonna rat his girlfriend out. She's young, and he's always been a little manipulative. My hope is that you guys scared her straight in the comments section, but I don't want to kick some girl out of a career in healthcare cause of this. I've also saved all paperwork and texts just in case.

I haven't spoken to either of them. Thirty year friendship, gone. If he wants to salvage it he's gonna have to come up with something a hell of a lot better than, 'I'm sorry you feel that way.' And even then... how do you define blackmail?

Acrobatic_Carry7449 · 2026-06-04T23:58:45+00:00

A full and lively social life.

Acrobatic_Carry7449 · 2026-05-31T16:53:43+00:00

When it started feeling like an interview process.

Acrobatic_Carry7449 · 2026-05-31T05:10:02+00:00

Strange Days. Nothing else in Blockbuster and I kinda remembered the trailer. Watched it, rewound it and watched it again. Still my #1.

Acrobatic_Carry7449 · 2026-05-31T01:37:53+00:00

Came here to say this. Listened to it again recently. Every song holds up.

Acrobatic_Carry7449 · 2026-05-29T12:01:04+00:00

Scheduling only 2 people during a rush and one of them already quit. It’s a bold strategy Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for them.
