"The problem with these scenarios is not knowing why the man is eating McDonald's on the train home. He may have worked through lunch and needs something to see him through until dinnertime. A gentleman friend and I took McDonald's into the cinema because we got stuck in traffic on the way and neither of us had eaten. The cinema was practically empty, and we ate our burger very quickly. I bought the cinema drinks and sweets to munch while watching the film. Movies and munchies go together. " Fair points. As I say I'm not necessarily being accusatory or preachy. Just starting a wider chat. Hopefully. | |||

And I think we're more guilty of wanting instant gratification which I guess it a bit childish. But also I think it's good to a bit more selfish than previous generations, and following our dreams a bit more regardless of age. " I saw a grey haired man who looked to be 70 to me. He was on top of a mountain in home made skis a fleece top and jeans. He clearly lived there and he clearly had no intention of being old. Ever. So yeah.

"Have people given up on growing up? Is it out of fashion? Perhaps being a kid is more fun so we've decided to extend childhoods? The cinema thread got me thinking: How hard is it to sit quietly for 2 hours and watch a film without having to eat, drink and play with your phone? I wouldn't expect anyone under 16 to be able to do that. They're kids. That's fair. Perhaps an adult should be able to though? In Boardwalk Empire a gangster says; "all of man's problems stem from his inability to sit quietly on his own in a room and read a book". I've noticed a real lapse in attention spans of late. Maybe he's right. A child needs constant validation which is perfectly understandable, but grown adults on social media behave in similar ways now. I wonder at people eating Macdonalds on the train home while calling their spouse to tell them to pick them up from the station. Could they not, should they not, wait the 30 mins to sit with their families and eat a meal like an adult? Has anyone else noticed way more adult temper tantrums in public these days? Seems to me there are. We even "baby" our language. "Doggos" springs to mind, as does "adulting" and "all of the feels". I'm guilty of this one myself. Just some thoughts. Have humans forgotten how to be adults? Care to discuss with me? "I think some never evolved into being adults. Stomping in leaves- awesome.

"I think a lot of kids/young adults are not truely taught to be prepared for what being an adult is. It tends to be jump in and learn on the job, which may have worked once upon a time, but the world itself has changed, ways of life have changed and we have adapted as we grew older, but some won't have had a foundation to base that upon, so their adaption will seem different to what may have come before. " Interesting. | |||

"I 100% think people are needy and impatient, and yes, I do blame the ease in which things are attainable these days (via t'internet) As for food and eating together, it ain't always possible. They could both work shifts and the person doing the picking up could very easily be dropping them back home and heading straight off to work themselves. Ahhhh, shiftwork and ships passing in the night. Temper tantrums. Fuck me I could write a book just on the ones I've "caused" by saying no to customers who don't want to follow rules or don't accept they simply aren't getting their own way because we're a business with a set standard practice, with a service cycle that's consistent throughout. Plus, the "if you shout loud enough or make a fuss you'll get compensation" mentality has really screwed society. People believe they have the right to get what they want, regardless of the situation. Perfect example was when KFC ran out of chicken and loads of the sites closed a few years ago. One bloke made a massive fucking fuss, writing letters demanding compo because his sons birthday had been RUINED and it was KFC's fault. All that child wanted for his birthday was KFC, and his dad had promised him they'd go, which they did..... only to find it closed and his son was distraught. Wtf?! A) don't make fucking promises you can't keep. B) businesses are run by humans who also have lives and sometimes shit happens meaning they won't be open. C) grow the fuck up and take responsibility, use your fucking imagination. Now, don't get me wrong, I struggle to process emotion in a healthy way but I ain't gonna kick off at innocent fucking people just trying to make a living because I didn't get my own way or had expectations that couldn't be met." A very eloquent outburst Peachy. I've definitely seen similar scenarios. | |||

"I hear what you say Moon. I think for the last 20 or so years I’ve noticed an increasing trend for ‘adults’ to not want to take ownership of their responsibilities as they reach the age where they are no longer children. I blame the parents. Friends of mine continue to treat their adult offspring as adolescents, they are not doing them any favours in the long run. Treat people like adults and they will , for the most part, step up. " This is a good point. I've heard many times people espousing how they raise their children without boundaries. I've always thought that was loopy. Surely setting boundaries is your job. I still see them trying to reason with a screaming 4 year old who now holds power over the whole family. Perhaps parents are to blame. | |||

"I’m not sure it’s growing up that’s the problem, I built a den this weekend and had a ball… It’s the lack of ability to enjoy the moment in its entirety. Focussing on one thing, one person, one moment so that you enjoy the whole experience. It’s something I swear by and practise daily. The simple, fleeting moments are often the most beautiful. Lost in todays crazy fast, materialistic society. Its great for me tap well-being to just stop…. "The sitting alone quietly thing. Focussing on one thing. Yeah. I've found myself struggling with that of late. | |||

"Circumstances led me to become an adult aged 12 so I've never experienced the terrible teens or the wonder and excitement of those years. Many people can't deal with that sudden loss of innocence and are more comfortable expressing themselves in a childlike manner. There's a fine line between taking your responsibilities seriously and allowing those responsibilities to control your every move. I could write a long list of things that children experience as they progress into adulthood and I wouldn't be able to tick any of those boxes but others are still working their way through the list and dragging it out as long as possible." I left home at 16 so I hear you. The sudden loss of innocence is a concept I've not really ever considered. | |||

People believe they have the right to get what they want, regardless of the situation. Perfect example was when KFC ran out of chicken and loads of the sites closed a few years ago. One bloke made a massive fucking fuss, writing letters demanding compo because his sons birthday had been RUINED and it was KFC's fault. All that child wanted for his birthday was KFC, and his dad had promised him they'd go, which they did..... only to find it closed and his son was distraught. Wtf?! A) don't make fucking promises you can't keep. B) businesses are run by humans who also have lives and sometimes shit happens meaning they won't be open. C) grow the fuck up and take responsibility, use your fucking imagination. Now, don't get me wrong, I struggle to process emotion in a healthy way but I ain't gonna kick off at innocent fucking people just trying to make a living because I didn't get my own way or had expectations that couldn't be met." I could not of written this better myself. I'd like to add, that tech for our kids has done nothing for them. Eveything is intant, if things don't load - remember the commodore 64! Or buffers, they just flick to the next thing. Tic tock, what skills they learn pointing in the air to words that are photoshopped in after. Can they not speak? Or the silly little dance moves. Great skills if their sent to war. Will they tick toc off on the front line? We've been in exspensive restrants, where couples sit on their phones ignoring each other. Why not go to Maccys, it's cheaper! I could rant on all day. I'm glad I won't be around too much longer. As I think the world has advanved too quick, and not in a good way. - fem. | |||
