You know its 2006 when..

[MagpieRacer]

(credit to bee for finding this)

You know you live in '06 when:






1.) you accidentally enter your password on a microwave.














2.) you haven’t played solitaire with real cards in years.














3.) the reason for not staying in touch with your friends is that they don’t have msn/xanga/myspace.












4.) you’d rather look all over the house for the remote instead of just pushing the button on the tv.












6.) your evening activity is the computer.











7.) you read this list, & keep nodding and smiling.













8.) as you read this list, you think about how stupid you are to read this.












9.) and… you were too busy to notice number 5.













10.) you actually scrolled back up to check that there was a number 5.













11.) & now you’re laughing at your stupidity.












12.) post if you fell for it. you know you did

I scrolled up.

edit: This reminds me of the PS2 magazine I bought one day at uni with a GT4 review in it. The first thing I did was to open the mag, go to the GT4 review and look at the score. Then I started reading the review and the first paragraph started... "You've already looked at the score and...".

 

[Evolution.]

I did exactly as it said towards the end...owned!

 

[crimson_menace]

I got owned. BUY A LIST!

You know it's 2006 when:

*You get burned by your buds, because you don't fully understand html code.

*You even remotely understand html code, or even know what it is.

*You look at cassettes and vhs tapes as a thing of the past.

*Understand 1337language. Even knowing what 1337 means.

*Talking to more people online, than you even know offline.

See, the funny thing is that I've seen this list before. And it still made an ass out of me. For a second I thought someone was reading my mind.

 

[Jimmy Enslashay]

Nice work. I did everything that it said I did.

 

[Small_Fryz]

I got owned also

👍

 

[McLaren]

Very clever.👍

 

[ceiling_fan]

Yep, I fell for it. Good one. 👍

 

[under18carbon]

Guilty as everyone else. :tup:

 

[Omnis]

Har. I scrolled up and laughed, and it said I did! NO WAI!

I know it's 2006 when I use my grandparents' microwave thanks to the giant sticker that reads: "WHAT THE **** IS GOING ON?!?!?!!1!" Makes me laugh every time.

 

[gt_masta]

I got owned...

 

[DuckRacer]

I got pwned too. Did exactly what it predicted.

 

[CDailey]

Add me to the list!

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

You got me too, only I didn't laugh, I started plotting my revenge!!! Muhahahaha

Whats funny is #1 reminded me of my new toaster. Its the only appliance in the house that has too boot up when you turn it on (I said boot, not warm) and program in what you want toasted. Stupid toaster.

 

[TheWizard]

Yep.

EDIT: Speaking of booting up... You know it's 2006 when your microwave runs on Windows

The Wizard.

 

[Jay]

Yep I scrolled up, funny stuff.

 

[Casio]

I didn't. (Honest to god)

Learn to read guys I thought to myself, where the hell is number 5?!

 

[HondaRacer]

Yup. Fell for it.
I know its 2006 when I'm more interested in reading a stupid thread like this then doing my english homework...

 

[a6m5]

I did do what it said, but I knew what was going on. Ashley, you jerk!

 

[ls2_297]

👎 dammit!

 

[Impreza04]

[livemusic]

[G.T]

I fell for it too, but didn't laugh at my stupidity.

 

[Niels]

[ExigeEvan]

[Danny]

I scrolled up.

I did that too! It was the mag with the back end of the Ford GT LM II on it.


I feel for the trick too.

*Talking to more people online, than you even know offline.

I don't have 80,000 offline friends....

I read straight through it all, and scrolled up when I had read it all to see if there actually was a no. 5. What does that come under, then?

 

[El Gigante]

Fell for it as well
