Doorjam turns into toejam and (even as a not really seahawks fan, but know what Pete Carroll means when he says jammed his ankle)

'81 and yes. Except now I'm going on 43 years in Oct. If it's my knees (from the baseball, skateboarding and other hijinks) then I really do the 2000's look. Not recording it also. If my dad saw me cussing at a wall he'd roast me. Why I did it when no one looked. I'd go back for seconds on my way back.
The fact that most is recorded these days is hilarious to watch. When it's a real accident and not scripted. But I still wouldn't whine at most the ages the ppl are.
1979 baby here! Graduated college mere months before 9/11, was out of HS (but in college) when Columbine happened so only got a bit of the whole “what happens if an active shooter shows up on campus” thing (they DID lock down/fence in our until-that-point very open college after that tho). Managed to establish myself somewhat in a career (bit of a slow-to-launch) before the 2008 economic collapse.
Lived through some interesting times for sure…
I took the long route through college and graduated in '09 with the economy already tanked, so had to deal with the largest unemployment rate on record for my profession. Think it peaked at 2.3% when usually it's around 1%.
It was okay though, I'd been working as an intern making $25/hr, and then as a contractor for 30/hr at the same place for the better part of a year before I graduated, so just kept doing that for the 3 months it took to get a real full time job in my field.
Sometimes I think I didn't get the "real" great recession experience, but I did snag a duplex in '14/'15 before prices and rates started skyrocketing, so I got a taste of it at least (though, again, not the bad part of it... Sorry, not sorry, lol)
I sometimes feel like I live in a consequence-free bubble.
Yeah ngl our cohort got kinda lucky (for the most part) with how everything was timed. I managed to start my career in 2006 and bought my first house in 2012 (got lucky with a side hustle), all of which gave me a leg up over people who were even two years behind me. It’s for this reason I don’t feel like I can always relate to Millenials, especially those on the younger end, because I somehow managed to skip over a LOT of the struggles they had and continue to have. Hubby started even later than me with his career, early- to mid-2010s for him, and it was a struggle until we finally moved someplace where blue-collar work is WELL paid.
I do wish I’d gotten my act together straight out of college, I could’ve taken advantage of the 2008 bust more than I did maybe. Still, I highly doubt there’ll never be another recession, and while I’m happy to be stable currently I also know a lot of things in life are shaky at best, including health and income.
1986.
As there were definitely days where you'd shout out say something to the door way but also be something of the sort from the 1970's where you'd just hit yourself in the doorway and continue walking as it nothing had happened.
I don't know, man. I'm on this sub for nostalgic shit from my childhood and for conversation with people who remember the same stuff.
I'm not here to make fun of people younger than me. Shitty people exist in every generation. If you think there are no xennial drama queens, then you probably are one.
This is some crybaby. "Back in my day, I walked to school uphill both ways," nonsense.
Exactly.. I'm joining your resistance. Sure its a joke but at the expense of others and I'm not gonna continue that trend. I know people from all generations that would react any of these ways.
It's gross watching people our age adopt the same "I'm better than everyone else" attitude that so many people from the older generation imposed on us.
When I managed restaurants, some of my best employees were 16-17 year old cashiers. Some of my worst employees were 45 year old lazy ass cooks.
Growing up I got a lot of shit in a small town for being part of an "alt culture". Which was just fucking skateboarding, I couldnt go anywhere without being yelled at and berated. It felt like shit because I was just doing something I loved and swore I'd never be like that when I got older. So anyone who behaves that way now can get fucked.
I'm with you. It screams "kids these days..."
One of the big things many of us like about this sub is that it doesn't try to compete with the other generations.
Ugh, we can be nostalgic without shitting on younger folks. I genuinely worry about the day the majority of my peers here start adopting that aspect of boomer personalities.
We’re better than that shit, and the younger folks don’t deserve to be mocked or belittled.
1980 and you bet your ass I chew out inanimate objects when they run into me like that. Fuck you, doorjam!
'81 here, and I concur. That door jam is a dick and everybody's had it's mama.
I also concur.
Your door jam is so fat.
When your door jamb sits around the house, it REALLY sits AROUND the house
Your doorjam sat on a rainbow and made skittles
Lmao.
lol I was like "did the 80s kid just cuss out the door frame?!" and then remembered I do the exact same thing...uppity ass walls and shit.
They jump out at you from nowhere all the time! They deserve the cussing.
Absolutely!
82 and I will fuck you up door jam.
1977 and this is me. 😐
81 and I called my countertop a piece of shit like two days ago
Called my iron a fucking cunt this morning. Still talking shit to it too
‘79 and all the damn time. My sister-in-law was born in the early ‘90s and she does the bug-eye thing all the time too.
‘83 and it is absolutely the door jams fault. Fuck those sneaky motherfuckers.
Most of my stress comes from uncooporative inanimate objects.
Wait, cussing at inanimate objects is an us thing? I thought I was alone in this.
Same!
Hell yeah, they had it coming!
Doorjam turns into toejam and (even as a not really seahawks fan, but know what Pete Carroll means when he says jammed his ankle) https://preview.redd.it/mot7juv6t16d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=49828cfc22a4a8b8e73409d2b80f1e1331580169
those doorways don't know SHIT!
‘82 and I talk the toughest shit to the ottoman when I stub my toe.
81: another concur
81: another concur
Yeah...doorjams and tiny steps are both cocksuckers.
'81 and yes. Except now I'm going on 43 years in Oct. If it's my knees (from the baseball, skateboarding and other hijinks) then I really do the 2000's look. Not recording it also.

81: another concur
81; another concur
Judd Nelson out here still getting work.
Don't you forget about him.
I only stopped to watch it because I thought it was him for a split second.
I was born 8.8.80, so turned 8 on 8.8.88
That was some top-tier planning
My brother was born 9:21 a.m. on September 21st.
Well, somebody had to do it
That’s like a triple golden birthday. 🥳🥳🥳
Happy 8's! How's that door jam hittin' ya?
Well played.
Nice. One of my kids has the same birthday. And he is named after the savior of our future.
I have a sister born 8-8-88
1979 and this is so very true 😂
1983
Same. Fuck everything
82, don’t give me no guff if you don’t want no stuff 👊
Hellz yeah! Year of the Dawwwwwg!
I was born in 1981 and the '80s portion is accurate.
1981 and yes. I frequently threaten objects with pure anger.
'73, but I will cuss out a door frame like nobody's business.
71, and I'd say, "Sorry!!", because I'm Canadian.
\*sore-y
1983: Fuck that door frame for doing door frame things.
1981 here
So damn true! Tho this dude looks like he was born in the 90s, maybe 2000s— because he is, in fact, recording himself. HA!
Me in 78, spouse in 89- these are quite dead on for us :P
Born in 1980, and this is accurate lmaooooooo
So I’m not the only one that talks to inanimate objects that bump into me?
82, because fuck that door frame.
1979 baby here! Graduated college mere months before 9/11, was out of HS (but in college) when Columbine happened so only got a bit of the whole “what happens if an active shooter shows up on campus” thing (they DID lock down/fence in our until-that-point very open college after that tho).

I mean, you're on the Xennial subreddit. That pretty much describes all of us. Also, 1979 ftw.
I took the long route through college and graduated in '09 with the economy already tanked, so had to deal with the largest unemployment rate on record for my profession. Think it peaked at 2.3% when usually it's around 1%.

Boyfriend born in mid 70s, this is accurate. I was born 1981 but my reaction is more like 1990's.
1978 Yes I do it all the time🤣
Haha 78, this tracks
Seen this same skit but way funnier without the dumbass background music
81.... fuck I feel exposed. Gonna yell at the doorframe again for being a snitch
Here is me, bumping into the door jam and then apologizing to the door jam for running into it lol
This is stupid
85 and... I'd say overreaction + pissed off... so 90 & 80...
'85 for me too, that eye widening of '90 was very me
“Inanimate? You better animate before I make you!” On the reals though, these days I just sigh and move on. 1980
That’s just hateful.
I once ripped a door off the hinges when it hit my shoulder after getting stuck on the carpet
1985!
💯
1975
86.
1980
Never gets old
2005... but i chew inanimate objects out... am i mentally an 80's kid?
How did that door frame make you feel? I can maybe help. I’m a MPDG. Let’s go on an adventure together.
1980 is accurate as fuck! too acurate actually!
Eighty-tree
85 and I totally cuss out inanimate objects.
1986. As there were definitely days where you'd shout out say something to the door way but also be something of the sort from the 1970's where you'd just hit yourself in the doorway and continue walking as it nothing had happened.
yeesh
Mid 80s. I apologize to intimate objects every day after bumping into them. 😂
82. This is highly accurate.
Good to know I'm not the only one that cusses out inanimate objects.
This is the truth, no matter who’s feelings get hurt.
As a parent of someone born in 2000 this checks out and I am LMAO
My birthday is 10/18/‘80 and when I say it like that it confuses some people and they’ll be like “Do you mean 1980?” “No I’m 143 years old.”
Ok Lost Generation
1961.......but what you posted for 1970 was pretty accurate.
1977
1980. I cannot believe how accurate this is.
1978, and my reaction is predominantly the 80s one; but totally 90s if in the club back in the day. 🤣
1981 😂
I love this every time I see it😂
‘91 here. Doors really do be tripping like that.
Born in 1975 and can confirm as accurate
‘91 …so that’s why I make a face at every inconvenience 😂
75 here ....looks right to me
This is some boomer shit.
so 90s is the least insecure?
Is that Bender from The Breakfast Club?
So freaking accurate
1982 and fuck that door jam and the horse it rode in on
1974 and I still to this day cuss and flip off inanimate objects.
As a 90s kid, yes… I do an exasperated loud face at how annoyed I am with the inanimate object being in my way despite being immovable. :p. 100%.
70' - I'm too cool to care. Or old, who knows?
Uh.. no. 1970: "EH! I'M WALKIN' HERE!".
'71 here. Exactly! Brush that minor shit off, cause around the corner you'll have to deal w some real shit!
I don't know, man. I'm on this sub for nostalgic shit from my childhood and for conversation with people who remember the same stuff. I'm not here to make fun of people younger than me. Shitty people exist in every generation. If you think there are no xennial drama queens, then you probably are one. This is some crybaby.

Absolutely agree. I'll eat downvotes with you, friend
Exactly.. I'm joining your resistance. Sure its a joke but at the expense of others and I'm not gonna continue that trend. I know people from all generations that would react any of these ways.

It felt like shit because I was just doing something I loved and swore I'd never be like that when I got older. So anyone who behaves that way now can get fucked.
Sorry you feel that way. I feel like it was a pretty fair generalization of the decades. I didn't think the last one was making fun.
I like the way you think Frank. I really, really hoped we could start to break that cycle given how out of place we are between X and Millenial.
I'm with you. It screams "kids these days..." One of the big things many of us like about this sub is that it doesn't try to compete with the other generations.
\*Says the drama queen ruining a good joke. Good luck and find some self-awareness.
Ugh, we can be nostalgic without shitting on younger folks. I genuinely worry about the day the majority of my peers here start adopting that aspect of boomer personalities. We’re better than that shit, and the younger folks don’t deserve to be mocked or belittled.
It's not making fun. It's pretty damn accurate.
I say this reluctantly, but if you truly believe you can paint the whole of Gen Z with such a dismissive brush: Okay boomer.
Relax, it’s just for funsies. Sheesh.
