Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsSo... I went to the taco truck this morning and heard the best line ever...
Id placed my order and was talking with some guys I see there all the time, who were also waiting for their order. A group of young people (early 20s Id say) waiting to order were being loud and goofing around
Harmless kid stuff but a little annoying to us older folks. One of the guys Im talking with gives this low growl and says Theyre doing stuff I dont like
Because Im old
Maybe you had to be there but it sure cracked the rest of us up

(21,727 posts)There was a local pizza place that bought two used ice cream trucks and had them re-fitted. They drove around town and sold pizza slices for $1 (going rate at the parlor was .75¢). It was freakin awesome... A shame they ony lasted a few years and the trend did not catch on... Pizza trucks should also be everywhere.

(1,972 posts)My wife and I used to go to a local bar every Friday and Saturday night for Latin dance parties. Cumbia, Salsa, Merengue, etc...
When the regular DJ (a friend of ours) moved out of town, he was replaced with a younger guy (another friend of ours).
One day, the Afro-Cuban All-Stars came to town to do a concert. My wife, who was dancing in the aisles, got pulled up on stage and was dancing with the band during the concert.
After the concert, she invited the band to the bar with the Latin dance party.
When they arrived, they brought a CD of their own music along, and gave it to my wife, who gave it to the new DJ.
It took about half an hour for the DJ interrupt his nonstop reggaeton playlist to play a single tune from the CD.
By that time, we both had a headache.
Most of us old fogies would have preferred to put the CD on, and play the whole damn thing from start to finish.
I mean, it's not everyday that International Stars come to our little parties and bring their own music.
Kids, these days!
At least I know that we're not alone in complaining about the music that kids listen to these days.. If you listen closely, you can hear the word "reggaetón" at 3:54 in this video.
She an old fogie, as well.

They are devotees of the Slobfather and at least one of them buys into the Q nonsense. They are stupid, loud, and disgusting. And I'm an old lady. I'd rather have the kids, TYVM.
BTW, these guys were kicked out of the Burger King next door for taking up space and annoying the customers. So that door swings both ways, y'all.
