Some of these are just way too specific. "Can't remember if it was my brother or my sister, but I remember one of them spent like $50 on ringtones and ringback songs. My parents were so pissed, lol." "How dare you. Next you're going to tell me my puka shell necklace, ankle-length board shorts, and wallet chain aren’t still dope." "That's why I only ever wore the fake ones and sometimes still do. My dad instilled in me that if I was going to get tattoos or piercings, the tats should be in places I can cover up and the piercings easy to remove and obscure, so they didn't interfere with job interviews and the like." "My partner and I were recently invited to a dubstep rave. Was very hesitant to go, but it was actually so much fun. The genre is seeing some growth in popularity again, it seems." "Posting an inside joke from a night out on your wall hoping everyone would ask about it, or be jealous they weren't there." "Middle school teacher here. Every day they draw this." "You’re back to being cool again! One of my 38-year-old colleagues wore a blue pair to work the other day, and she was relishing in the number of compliments she got from the 20ish-year-olds she got in the office, haha." "I have a tie-dyed four-leaf clover that sprouts out my ass crack. It was a choice." "I will never stop quoting Step Brothers. There’s a quote for every occasion."
