You Know You Are Old When

[Engineer42]

You're probably old if you remember seeing 50s pin-up girls & know who the one is. Last one is a modern girl as a 50s pinup. Wow!View attachment 3419115View attachment 3419116View attachment 3419117View attachment 3419118

No thanks.

Thanks to this topic though, I did spend $9 on shipping on a $9 Dillon calendar just because I want to see where they have gone with it...

The Ridgid calendar I remember

When the Dillon comes in, I figure I can finger through it and then give it to my one buddy for his office LOL

Just a bit older for me. Used to be a customer that came to the farm for fruit and veg that he sold at his market.
He drove a van like the UPS trucks. The walls were papered with centerfolds.
I always would help him load up.
My eyes got a good workout trying to stare but not make it too obvious.
Pa never said anything.
Next step I was about 14. A friend of my father's grew stuff for a number of the local restaurants but Nick didn't drive. Pa would help him deliver couple times a week.
We stopped at a place I knew was a bar but didn't realise was also a strip club (Oh the days of innocence)
Pa told me to help Nick take in his produce.
We didn't go in the back but through the main entrance. Did I get an eye full.
Some scantily clads walking around and the girl on the stage. She was gyrating to Midnight at the Oasis.
That left me with many a daydream and stories to tell my friends.
Pa never said anything, not even a wink.

Ahhhh HAHHHhhh!!!!!
So THAT explains everything!

A coworker RN was very much a fan and approached her for permission to do a calendar back in the early 2000’s.

She said I don’t think you will have much luck but she agreed and he produced it… he gave me one but I never opened it…

I think she passed not long after…

She allowed him to pick 12 pictures from a box of pictures…

He said it was great meeting her and said I think she enjoyed the company..

Company policy is once on your way out no reason to delay…

As long as proper notice given the last 2 weeks pay paid out…

On a side note, the norm now is just to text that you quit.

A 24 year old Marine out of the service lives up the road from me. Met him and his wife and kids when I invited them to come over to go sledding because we have one of the best hills for sledding behind your house you'll find in the area. Talking with him, asked him if he was looking for work, he said yes, we hired him. I told him the only thing I ask of him is don't text and quit the same day.

Guess what he does 2 months later?

Thing is, he has a 3rd kid on the way, and when he was working for us, he called me one weekend asking me why his electric bill was over $500 in a small 900 sq ft house. Just drove by their house and their outside porch lights (all 4 of them) ALWAYS seem to be on.

I've given up trying to figure out people...

Just going to see if they have more clothes on modeling now. THAT'S it. My buddy will be happy to have one for his office.

At least you aren't in the dating world. That is how people break up now... no more looking your partner in the eye and saying
"This isn't working".
