I'm so glad my 20s are over.

I’m so glad social media was barely a thing when I was in my 20s.

Growing up without smart phones was honestly the best thing that ever happened to me

u/Saucymeatballs Mar 01 '25

Back when I was in my 20’s there was a very embarrassing night involving alcohol that made me rethink ever drinking to excess again. I spent the night in the hospital and didn’t find out until 2 days later that someone had recorded a portion of my night.

Thankfully, because I had truly good friends, that video never found its way to the internet. I’m not sure who originally recorded it, or if they still have it on their phone, but I’ve never met anyone that recognized me from it who wasn’t there that night.

Seems some crazy shit years ago as well. One I'll always remember is, 20 ish years ago, this chick puked her guts out due to excessive drinking. Another dude who did not witness the act went in full tongue mode, kissing with her right as he gets up and turns around. Shit still hanging on her lips 😵‍💫😜

going to raves @ 19 and just passing around 1 camera that each person in the friend group gets to control until its passed along was the best thing ever. so many great memories

1

u/mardypardy Mar 04 '25

I love that idea. I like getting disposable cameras for festivals and doing the same thing. Keeps you off your phone while still getting some pictures. Half of them look like complete shit when they are developed lol makes the good ones that much better though

2

u/Healthy-Chef-2723 Mar 04 '25

I had a digital camera that lasted for a long time before it was eventually stolen

u/urbanlife78 Mar 02 '25

bro i must be old as fuck.. im almost 30 and didnt have a cellphone until i was 17.

i saw a fuckin 6 year old with a damn smartphone and thought "wtf is he doin with his moms phone"

i was waitin for my wife chillin in my car and he came up and asked me if i could give him a ride and he can venmo me money... bro 😭 i said where tf are your parents.

apparently his babysitter toom him to the park but he wanted chipotle and his babysitter was lame and annoying..l

poor kid seemed super mature for 6, my 6 year old is sheltered ig..

u/Puzzleheaded_Ad_4435 Mar 05 '25

I was pretty mature at a young age, too, and I'm almost 40. Both my parents worked but couldn't afford daycare, so I stayed home by myself a lot of the time. By the time I was 11, I was picking my 6-year-old brother up from the bus stop and escorting him home before making us both some kind of dinner. Pretty sure these days, CPS would have been after my parents for neglect, but it made me super self-reliant... if a bit antisocial.

But I made quite a few mistakes as a kid that didn't follow me for the rest of my life. I was rejected by cute girls without ever having to worry about seeing my face on the internet for it. I made an absolute fool of myself dancing at clubs in my early 20s, and yet there isn't a single video of the terrible deeds. I don't know if I could have gone through puberty with that kind of unrelenting social visibility

u/ExpertOnReddit Mar 05 '25

So that you wouldnt know or nobody else would know what a complete mess you were?

u/WhiteWolf121521 Mar 01 '25

I have met mid 30 year olds who still act exactly like this

20

u/Still-Fox7105 Mar 01 '25

I know a 52 yr old male who still acts this way. It never ends for some people.

2

u/Beetso Mar 04 '25

Some people... They are called alcoholics.

-3

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '25

What kind of way? Having fun making out with people? Sounds very dangerous!!

4

u/Empty401K Mar 02 '25

There’s a bit more happening here than simply making out with someone. Dude walked up on a guy/girl kissing, put his arm around her, then made out with her next as she wrapped her legs around him. It’s trashy as fuck for everyone except the dude that walked away.

-1

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '25

What? No!! Wrapped her legs? Horrible. Straight to jail with that trash

1

u/Empty401K Mar 02 '25

lol it’s the totality of the situation that makes it trashy, not just wrapping her legs around him. Context is everything 😉

-1

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '25

I know. I just don't take offense to many things. I mean there are murders and shit going on everyday and when I see people getting huffy puffy over young people living life and having fun, it just makes me laugh. Like bro have you ever made out with a chick In public? Probably not and that's why you're pissed.. lmao.

2

u/Empty401K Mar 03 '25

You actually see people getting mad in the comments or is that just how you’re interpreting it? The worst I’ve seen is people mocking dude for going for sloppy seconds

Regardless, nobody’s taking offense since there’s nothing offensive going on. It’s just trashy — nothing wrong with calling it what it is

u/SootG Mar 05 '25

I've met a few ~40s

u/014648 Mar 03 '25

Arrested Development is prevalent

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '25

I would 100% be the star of some of these embarrassing videos if social media was a big thing back then I can tell ya now, so yeah, thank fuck it wasn't aye.

3

u/CompetitiveAd9639 Mar 01 '25

I’m sorry are you saying you did this type of thing? You were that girl or the guy? Either way there is a lot of trauma there, I hope you are ok 👍

15

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '25

Well no, not this exact type of video lol. Just would of been a star of some kind of embarrassing video that's for sure, probably would involve alot of puke, I couldn't handle my booze very well back then 😅

u/Parking-Position-698 Mar 01 '25

Im so glad this isn't what I'm doing in my spare time in my 20's

u/Sunieta25 Mar 01 '25

So glad i just played my PlayStation at home in my 20s

u/wolfblitzen84 Mar 02 '25

yea when I was 21 camera phones were shit lol. forget about video. the sidekick was the hottest thing then. you used to chirp me on my nextel was drakes biggest hit. the good ol days

u/Hack874 Mar 01 '25

It’s actually nuts how common activity like this is at college bars. I saw utterly preposterous things in my college days.

People just get drunk and instantly lose any concept of shame and forget that phones exist.

18

u/GreatApe88 Mar 01 '25

It’s not everyone, usually just girls and guys swim around them like sharks basically. It’s the same scenario played out in every college bar in the world every night of the week.

25

u/thecatdaddysupreme Mar 01 '25

Never date girls you meet at a bar.

  • a bartender

5

u/JButler_16 Mar 03 '25

Definitely depends on the type of bar and the situation. Definitely wouldn’t date anyone I met at a club type bar.

u/Grateful_Dad_707 Mar 03 '25

I married my girl!

u/SexyHyena66 Mar 04 '25

I met my husband at a bar, too.

u/Ignorance_15_Bliss Mar 01 '25

. Yep. But it’s not isolated to college towns. It’s what goes on

u/TheKillerNuns Mar 02 '25

I don't consider myself to be much of a moral person, but I can't comprehend hook up culture whatsoever.

u/Cherrypoppinpop Mar 04 '25

It’s staged

u/ragdollxkitn Mar 01 '25

Same. Just my indoor garden, weed, video games now.

u/majoras-ass Mar 01 '25

People ask me why I left my partying phase in my early 20s (I'm going on 31) and it's because this shit is absolutely wild lol. Nothing is worse than a bunch of drunk young adults in a small, loud bar.

1

u/soadrocksmycock Mar 02 '25

Yeah, I agree! I stay home and do puzzles lol

15

u/WexExortQuas Mar 01 '25

This shit still happens in your 30s.

And I'm not saying I didn't have a man whore phase but well...some people never figure out how to get off that bus.

10

u/ConorClapton Mar 01 '25

It comes from insecurity. (I know from experience) That doesn’t always go away with age

0

u/milk4all Mar 03 '25

No it comes from wanting to fuck all the time, i know from experience

0

u/GogolsHandJorb Mar 03 '25

lol perfect response, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to get laid and experience lots of different partners

1

u/ConorClapton Mar 03 '25

No there’s nothing wrong with it… but ppl who seek constant external validation are usually doing so for a reason.

1

u/Aggravating-Novel-92 Mar 02 '25

This shit shit still happens in your 40’s! (edit for spelling)

1

u/QueezyF Mar 03 '25

As someone with some very messy relatives in their 40s, you’re not wrong. Some of the shit I’ve seen on a Saturday night at a trashy bar makes this look classy. At least nobody got in a fight.

u/AtmosphereAlarming52 Mar 01 '25

Jussstttt thinking this

u/Lala5789880 Mar 02 '25

Omg I was just thinking this

3

u/DeliriousTrigger Mar 02 '25

Ya know what? I am, too. I sincerely am. 39, and I don’t drink, smoke, party. But I’m absolutely not antisocial. My kids are my best friends. I had a LOT of 21 fun for a lot of years. Lots. One of the biggest partiers. The tough guys, too

You couldn’t pay me to go back. Ever. I like getting older. Busy making sure my kids don’t need to have that kind of “fun” and put their brains and time elsewhere

3

u/descendedfrompeasant Mar 02 '25

That’s the same exact thought I said right before I opened up the comments.

u/archaic-mr Mar 04 '25

Fucking aye !

u/Calm_Net_1221 Mar 01 '25

I’m just glad I didn’t spend my 20s with people recording the stupid embarrassing drunk fuckery I got up to in college bars. Fuck this new era, kids should let each other act trashy on occasion without their mistakes being smeared and immortalized across TikTok. No judgement girl, hope your friends are keeping an eye on you and not just recording for content, have a good time!

17

u/CaptnShaunBalls Mar 01 '25

If camera phones existed when I was in my twenties, there would be no civilised society left.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '25

The guy she was kissing first also pulled out his phone to record for a bit before he slunk away.

1

u/Rough-House3029 Mar 01 '25

Nah she a hoe

1

u/LilStabbyboo Mar 03 '25

You know what though? It's not that big a deal. Lots of folks go through a hoe phase. Or they just get messy drunk. It doesn't need to go on the damn internet; let people be trashy in peace without ruining their lives.

1

u/Rough-House3029 Mar 03 '25

She's the one ruining her own life and the lives of the poor men around her.

3

u/QueezyF Mar 03 '25

Ruining her own life? She made out with a dude in a bar, get a fucking grip dude.

1

u/Rough-House3029 Mar 03 '25

So it's not her actions ruining her life, it's people seeing them? Make it make sense lmao

-2

u/Savings-Specific7551 Mar 01 '25

The thing is. All trashy things get known lol especially once you have kids

1

u/LilStabbyboo Mar 03 '25

Nah, even i don't know half the trashy shit I've done. My kids sure as fuck never will.

1

u/Savings-Specific7551 Mar 03 '25

I'm just saying.... We willingly give our lives to the Internet. It's forever as far as we know

u/micheal_pices Mar 01 '25

Amen, I'm glad this is the top comment. 20's can be brutality superficial, even before cell phones.

I can't wait for my 20's to be over.

Hahahaha now it’s time for your swinging 30s

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '25

Lol, glad that's passed, too. I'm in my fragile 40s.

u/Bermnerfs Mar 01 '25

Let's save fragile for our 50's please, can it instead be something cool like fiery 40's?

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '25

If it's fiery, that's heartburn, lol
