20 Of The Most Middle-Aged Things Millennials Caught Themselves Saying
As time goes by, many of us find it harder and harder to relate to the current generation, and before we know it, we catch ourselves saying and doing the same things our parents did when we were teens. But don’t worry – that doesn’t mean that you’ll suddenly start enjoying terrible Minions memes or that a pair of dad shoes will appear in your wardrobe out of nowhere. That just means that you’re getting older – and it can be pretty funny to catch yourself saying the same things you swore you never would when you were younger.
One Reddit user recently asked millennials to share some 0f the most middle-aged things they’ve caught themselves saying, and the answers were hilariously accurate. Check out some of the best ones in the gallery below!

I was venting to a coworker about these noisy bastards living next to me. I actually said the words, “goddamn teenagers and their Bluetooth machines”. I stand by my admonition but man it was my greatest age leap forward since I embraced the sensible Toyota.
