  • when watching a movie, think: "they wouldn't really do that!" or "that wouldn't happen in real life!"
    • sometimes yell it at the screen.
    • also, get really annoyed when people hang up the phone without saying goodbye. That just doesn't happen in real life (unless the person is a real arsehole).

  • start to think: "back in my day..."
    • e.g. "back in my day, we didn't have mobile phones! If you were waiting for a friend to turn up, you'd just wait an hour and then assume they'd ditched you and go home."
    • "back in my day, we didn't have school counsellors. If a kid killed themselves, nobody would talk about it and you'd just try not to think about it and get on with studying."
  • I think a lot about how to manage my emails.
  • newfangled iphone is now dying and battery only lasts an hour before having to plug in again. Still refuse to upgrade.

  • Husband just said: "grounding is very important" and I said: "yes, especially for young people as they can be so giddy."
