The Life of Bon: 28 things no 20 something year old wants to hear

28 things no 20 something year old wants to hear

Every once in a while my brain goes totally dead with this blog.  I can't think of a single clever or funny thing to say.  That's usually when I email Taylor and beg her to send some inspiration or motivation or some kind of -ation my way.  She never disappoints.

When things get really rough I beg Taylor to write a post with me.  As if I can live parasitically off of her wit and humor.  She always says yes because she's nice like that, and that's when we get a little bit of blog magic.  And so, Daily Tay and Life of Bon present to you...



1.  Did you see that your ex boyfriend got married?  His wife is smoking hot.

2.  Do you ever get tired of throwing so much money away on rent?

3.  Oh you are majoring in (insert semi-impractical-but-you-totally-love-it major here)?  What kind of a job are you going to get with that major?

4.  I always used to think of you as a little girl, you suddenly look so old to me... (Thanks, Grandma!)

5.  Are you the last of your friends who is still single?

6.  When are you going to get married?

7.  When are you going to start having kids?

8.  No one is going to buy the cow if you give the milk away for free.

9.  Oh, you’re single?  I know someone of the opposite gender who is also single.  I can set you up.

10. Don't you think it's time you find a "real job?"

11. You know, if you fixed yourself up a little more it’d be a lot easier to meet a guy.

12. Aren't you at the age when you should stop eating crap like that?

13. How much money do you make?

14. Did you go to school for the job you have?

15. Have you thought about putting any money into retirement?

16. Do you have a 401k?

17. You’re being kicked off your parents’ insurance.

18. What kind of benefits do you get?

19. Your credit card statement is late.

20. Are you where you thought you'd be in life right now?

21. You don’t even know what it means to love until you have a baby.

22. So… what do you do all day?

23. Is that still your same car from college?

24. Did you hear Laurie is buying a house?

25. Oh don't worry about it, no one stays skinny after high school!

26. Well, heavens knows that if Janet got married you can too!

27. How long do you plan on living in this apartment?

28. What are your investment plans for the future?

What did we leave off?  What is the one thing you absolutely hate to hear?

  2. Hahaha, let me tell you, those are things, a 40 something wants to hear even less!!!
    Nr. 25 would be " Oh don't worry about it, no one stays skinny after a baby!"

  3. omg if one more person questions the practicality of my major... I will throttle someone!

    ReplyDelete
  4. My favorite is: "You're so cool. I don't know why you're single" - said by guy who has no interest in making me un-single despite my "coolness." Uh duh - there's your answer!

  5. Great collaboration!!!

  6. Hahaha too funny. My whole office tells me EVERY SINGLE DAY when they see me eating junk food "Enjoy it while it lasts, because one day you wont be able to eat like that." One woman even grabbed my waist one time and said "Just taking measurements, so in a year when you are 300 pounds I'll remember when you were skinny."

    ReplyDelete
  7. Also, "when are you getting married? All the good ones get taken by 30-35 you know"

    Ugh.

    ReplyDelete
  8. My additions: "You're young, can you fix my phone?" "This was probably before your time... (followed by an 80s or 90s reference)" "Most kids your age live in their parents' basement."

  10. I went through the college major questions too--- Mine was journalism!!! But I had certain family members feel the need to tell me "newspapers are a dying industry.... get out of that field now!" lol :)

    ReplyDelete
  11. oh this is so true! brilliant list. I hate when people will ask me what kid of job I will get with an English degree! And I hate when people use the words 'real job' or welcome to the 'real world'...i was unaware the last 24 years of my life weren't real lol

    ReplyDelete
  12. Haha great list!! I am there with you on the "you can't eat this crap forever!" I eat like a starving child and can't put on weight and cant put on weight--everyone swears that I'm going to wake up one day weighing 800 pounds!

    Bahaha this is hilarious and so so accurate! As a 21 year old college student who isn't married, has zero kids, and a major that always gets a bad response all of these rang true! I absolutely hate how when I tell people I'm a secondary education major to be a high school English teacher, they say "Wow, you're brave." or "Good luck with that." Someone has to educate your kids people!

  15. "Why aren't you and [significant other] married yet?" Uh... only 2 possible answers here. Either I'm not ready or he's not ready. Either way, probably not a great topic of discussion, y'know?

    Lol - great list! #1 would enrage me and #8 is just silly and old fashioned (but I could totally picture my grandmother saying it).

  16. And, unfortunately, those questions and statements don't stop when you get to your thirties...Especially if you're still unmarried and childless...

    I've been married for 6 years and have 2 kids. My mother *still* mentions my ex-boyfriends. Oh, someone I have neither seen nor talked to in the last 11 years got married, divorced, remarried, and had babies? That's nice.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I get those ALL the time. the worst one is "So what ARE you doing with your life ANYWAY??!"

  19. As someone who just turned 31, but still feels like a 20-something, this is equal parts funny and depressing! :P

    ReplyDelete
  20. I guess at 30 I don't quite qualify to fit in to the '20 something' bracket anymore :( but I still feel like I do so that's the main thing. I loved reading this, oh how true some, no, most of them are. Two of them I can relate to more than the others, the baby ones, as someone who is struggling with infertility and done numerous IVF cycles the next person to ask me 'why haven't you had kids yet' or tells me I don't know what real love is until I've had a baby might see my fist, in their face ;)

He is amazing, i also come across one particular testimony, it was about a woman called Vera, she testified about how he brought back her Ex lover in less than 2 days, and at the end of her testimony she dropped his email.After reading all these, I decided to give it a try. I contacted him via email and explained my problem to him. In just 48hours, my husband came back to me. We resolved our issues, and we are even happier than ever.Dr.Trust you are a gifted man and i will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man.

  30. I am 50 years old and my husband is also 52. I had a surgical operation and one of my ovaries was removed and the doctors told me that I would only be able to conceive by a divine miracle. God intervened and I gave birth to a baby boy who later died. After seeking for help through prayers from Dr ABU FATIMA, the gods intervened again and I conceived and to the glory of gods I gave birth to triplets, two boys and a girl. Dr ABU surprised me because one of the babies looked exactly like the one that died.” thanks to Dr Abu Fatima. contact him if you are in the same situation i pass through via email abufatima77powerspellcaster @ g mail . com or call him direct +2348164210522.

  31. Have been all over looking for solution to my Marriage until i tried out the internet, I found a Dr AGBAGIE whom people talked about and shared good testimonies about him, My Husband has decide to leave our marriage, because he said he can't stand my mom, But i love my Husband so much that i can let him leave after 8years of marriage. So the Dr AGBAGIE did changed the whole problems and issue to testimony, He did a spell to calm and reconcile my mom and my Husband and then carryout a spell to make my husband love me more and remain in our marriage. I saw results after 2days and to be frank, this Dr AGBAGIE is a God sent.
