So I officially became an old man today...

This actually happened today, and I officially became an old man.
I spent a lot of the afternoon replacing a heater/vent/light in the master bathroom upstairs. At one point, I asked my wife where our daughter was. She said that she had gone to the Pelicans playoff game with a friend. I asked if the daughter took her car; wife replied she didn't know. So I peeked through the master bedroom blinds at our driveway and our little dead-end street.
I saw that daughter's car was not there, but I also saw a young man, high school or college age, standing in the MIDDLE of our front yard holding a big black dog on a leash. The kid was busy looking at his phone, oblivious to the fact that his dog was sniffing around our grass and bedding plants, apparently looking for a place to do his business.
So, I raised the miniblinds, pounded on the window, and yelled out,
"GET OFF MY LAWN!!"
He looked up, startled, and not sure if he heard me or could read my lips, but he took off right away back down our little dead-end street.
It wasn't until after he left that I realized what I had actually said.

You should post it on Facebook so you can be an old woman too.

Please make this shareable.

To atone buy two pairs of skinny leg “tech pants” and wear them daily.

The real travesty in this story is that your kid had to watch the Pelicans play in person. I know the pain.

You're just a poop pooper.
A lot like a party pooper. Always ruining a good time.

I bought Costco pants 2 weeks ago. See you at the early dinner buddy.

I just hope no one smashed the window of your daughter’s car. It’s a huge issue at both Grizzlies and Pelicans game. A lot of companies here can’t even get their customers to accept free tickets to games unless they include a parking pass.

Welcome to the old age club. You have a lot to look forward to. Wait until you fall asleep in your chair at 7:30pm, wife wakes you up, you get in the bed, and then can't sleep at all.

The irony is that the highlight of your day will soon be that you could take a poop.
Might as well buy some fiber supplement now.

Wait until you go to the doctor and the receptionist says hi hon how are you, then a young college age guy comes in she says , "may I help you?''

While I can’t say I’m completely above such behavior, I live in a very walkable neighborhood and I’m amazed at the people that walk their dogs or jus themselves staring at their phones the whole time. I can definitely be guilty of screen staring but a walk is a time to get away from that all and touch grass.

I'm almost 60 and walk dogs 5-7 miles/day. I view tiktok the entire time. Makes the walks so much more enjoyable (and go by faster).

My old man status was confirmed this weekend also, at a HS reunion. All those thirsty grabby ladies . Just like you hear about. Yikes, I felt like a piece of meat, lol. Passing out their phone numbers like candy. Why weren’t they all that way back when it counted?
