Hate it when maximum age categories are much lower than my age.
“60 plus, just shut up!”
I’m ancient. Driver’s license test next year. Need to limber up my neck muscles and take my Beano. “You cannot reply on your mirrors. You must turn your head and look back before driving away from the curb.”
The Beano is just courtesy to the examiner who rides with you.
I took my younger brother for his DL exam in my ‘62 Impala convertible in March of that year. In PA, the Examiner does a walkaround to check the car for safety violations prior to the test. Since the plastic back window on the top was severely yellowed and difficult to see through, I lowered the top while my brother was registering for the test. Turning the first corner, a gust of wind blew the Examiner’s hat off and it landed in a puddle of melted snow in the street. My brother stopped, the guy retrieved his hat, put it on the floor of the car, and they continued the test. He passed, but the Examiner commented as he walked away, “Kinda cool for a top-down cruise today, isn’t it?”
But wants worse is to scroll through the year list of “The most popular (fill in the blank) the year you were born”, and the list ends way before you get there.
#1. I’m gonna find the kid that did the first coding on scrolling through the years. I’m gonna lock ’em in a room. Rotary phone. A x286 machine. With 5.25" floppy disks. An AOL disk on a a CD (but no cd-rom drive). And a 2400k dial up modem. On a party line. Muhahahaha

More annoying is when you do find it and the survey decides you’re too old to bother with.
