The only radio station I can stand to listen to when I drive is classic fm. Everything else just aggravates the fuck out of me.
- I've got a Radiohead' best songs MP3 put on, for years, but his only function is silence the suspension noises of my 20 year old fiatOBBTKN
- I don't think I've ever turned on the FM tuner in my car. I use a USB stick with 30 or so rotating albums/mixes on them.section_014
- Signs you're way older than the average QBNer: you still think radio is remotely tolerable at all.CyBrainX
- Had a rental car and had to drive from one end of the country to the other and all it had was an FM radio.webazoot

Need two belt settings. One for sitting - One for standing.
- Suspenders may be your answer. You are getting old after all.lemmy_k
- I only ever use one belt. last one lasted 20 years before dying last year. New one already has two distinct wear marks, two holes apart, for this exact reason.Nairn
- Put it in the nope threadlvl_13
- Split the difference. Poke another hole between the 2, and hope for the best.DRIFTMONKEY
- Yup. I discreetly open the top button, too sometimes.jagara

I am 36. A girl (maybe 23?) I invited to a party said her sister was in town that day, so she wasn't sure when she'd get there. I said, "bring your sister!" and she said "haha, she's like 40!" and I'm like, "uhh..."
And yes I am hawking this girl down, and yes I did already make out with her. So... there.
People's behaviors and interests at 40 vary significantly. Having no kids and having never been married, I am forever 28.
I do meet people who are 'my age' who look and dress like they are somebody's parent. Makes me a little sad inside.
- It's all perspective. You feel a little sad for them. They feel a little sad for you.ETM
- when responsibility shifts practicality overrides aesthetics. some people want to better match their own age and the best source for the looks are thosested
- Many exes around 30 now have at least 1 kid and/or married too. Guess is hard to stay a rebel over 30...grafician
- friends with kids.sted
- And, was her sister hotter?oey_oey
- on a ccoville scale pleasested
- *scovillested
- i haven't met her sister yet, but this girl is hard to top! (for my taste anyway)sarahfailin
- I was expecting it to end with you hooking up with the sister too lolsea_sea
- Soon you'll be 45, acting like 28, and nobody will make out with you.monospaced
- There's nothing wrong with forever 28.garbage
- It is when you're 45, alone and nobody anywhere near 30 wants anything to do with your old balls.monospaced

Had a kickabout in the park on Sunday evening, first time in .. well, a while.
Was quite pleased with myself yesterday as I had no aches or pains. "Huh, I'm fitter than I expected" thought I, "clearly my walking 45-an hour and a half each day is keeping me in good shape!".
Woke up this morning and and I couldn't even roll over onto my side, my legs and arms were so sore.

- This eventually leads to settling on only listening to the local weather station 24/7 because '...it's exciting enough'prophetone
- ...which leads to getting an amateur HAM license, buying $20k in HAM radio equipment, building custom CB common components, listening to the 'airwaves'prophetone
