I cringe to remember that “know it all” stage. I think I literally answered “I KNOW!” to just about everything my parents said to me for a while there. I’m surprised they didn’t take me to the pound or something.
We don’t have teenage phases where I come from. We just grew up. It’s why I had a hard time relating to my daughter when she was going through her ‘afflictions’. Hehe!
You most likely had it but didn’t realize. Everyone goes through that phase but, depending of the people around you and depending of your personality, it’s worse than others or better. It can also come sooner or latter than most.
But it always come, the “I’m old now, I know the World and Everything” attitude. (And sadly for some, it never goes. )
I’m a teenager, and I think it’s awesome, stupid people need to get their head out of their ass and stop complaining “My parents won’t let me do drugs! they suck! OMG!” *cut cut cut*
I think you shouldn’t be allowed on the internets until you’re 16 or you’ll fall prey to what happened to Miss Slaughter. F-tard tweens think they are the ultimate badasses cause they get picked on at school then come home to troll on the internet. Seriously kids.. have a nice glass of wakethefookup. Nobody loves you and your parents can’t wait to kick your ass out the door once you turn 18 because you’re annoying and costly. Kthks
This would be true if teens could FIND A FREKING JOB! teens want to work, but can’t find a job b/c NO ONE WILL HIRE THEM. wtf people, stop blaming teens for not working, it’s you all who won’t hire us!
I used to work with a working permit at 16 and through my school. I was able to buy my own stuff, but I still couldn’t get a credit card, and I learned the hard lesson of wage taxing. Sorry teens, y’all still are not going to be hired to work a 40K job.
So, this “cushy office job” of mine is the best I can ever hope for??!?!??!? It doesn’t get any better than this?! Oh, just shoot me now, please and thank you…
*headdesk*
Labor Ready and other labor related jobs are always hiring. The jobs that require you to stand indoors all day and not use any muscle are hard to find.
not true. wasn’t able to find a labor job this summer. i wasn’t looking for a cushy job. i usually work on a seed farm but that wasn’t available this summer. yeah, the economy sucks.
My wife hire’s a lot of teens for her company, but she turns away probably 20 for every 1 that she hire’s due to kids showing up for interviews in sweat pants, short skirts, dirty t-shirts, half filled out applications, dirty applications, applications with cross outs, showing up late, etc. It was obvious to me when I was 16 (around 1999/2000) that my first impression was just as important to me getting hired as the skills and dedication I could demonstrate once hired.
My high school offered us training. Took me years to get out of going on every interview in a black suit(not every industry requires the traditional, stuffy look).
Well if your resume looks anything like that comment, it’s a wonder you’ll even graduate! Maybe crack open a book for reading instead of using it to hide a phone to text your dumbass friends. Good luck, champ.
Not everyone lives in 1800s Midwest America, out here in the Northwest in 2010 they require proof that you’re 16+ and even then they have to hassle with the state childhood labor laws, so nobody wants to hire anyone that young. Besides that, the only jobs you can get in my neighborhood without a PhD requires nudity and cancer (either prostitution or working at a tanning salon where they force you to paint yourself orange and paint naked people orange).
Well, I’ll tell a slightly embarrassing story, then.
Several-to-many years ago I bowled in a mixed league. Our team particularly had lots of fun and liked to joke around. One night when it was my turn to bowl, I did my usual routine, reached down, picked up my ball, and stepped onto the approach…then, when I was up there alone and being given lane courtesy to either side, I noticed a string coming out of one of the holes. It didn’t dawn on me at that instant…I simply thought some debris had landed on my ball. When I pulled on the string and lifted out what was stuck in my ball…well, I had to back off the lane as the crowd behind erupted in laughter.
Of course it was. I know she had to break it into pieces to get it to slide down far enough where it couldn’t be seen. I wanna say the thumb hole had the piece with the string and the other pieces were in the finger holes. It was a long time ago, before the time when finger inserts were common, so it’s possible the pieces fit in all three holes.
I wish I remembered how I got my teammate back…I’m sure I did.
It would be really nice if the cheeses that be would just create a separate blog for all the misogynistic/homophobic/racist/sexist/religionist/pedophile FAILS (or wins or whatever else they compile).
Definitely a win. Still, you have to admit that it’s the fault of the adults in this world. And that there is occasionally a teenager who is not so ignorant and disrespectful.
So having a job and paying bills is what makes a parent stupid? Hmmm… I never suspected that. I figured it was just because they didn’t like using their brains.
That poster is the awesomest thing I’ve seen all day!
To quote Mark Twain, “When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”
Of course, these days you might have to push that 21 back to 28 or 30. Kids are just staying stupider longer these days.
“Of course, these days you might have to push that 21 back to 28 or 30. Kids are just staying stupider longer these days.”
I blame the parents who baby their kids until they’re in their 20s. The ones that allow the kids to stay home rent-free indefinitely. It seems some parents don’t really want their kids to actually grow up.
Hypocrisy! Adults, do you mean to say that you never complain about how much you hate your job and your boss? We just know that you won’t fire us if we talk back.
If you were my kid and you complained often enough about how much you hate your job (freeloading) and your boss (me) you’d definitely be invited to find a new “situation”.
Hey, I get annoyed when I hear adults whine about how kids don’t work. It takes up 12 hours a day, is mandatory, and is called SCHOOL. If you want to go to jail for my truancy, go right ahead. Meanwhile, you work a whole 8 hours a day, and I bet most of that is on sites like these while your boss isn’t looking.
“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” ~ Mark Twain
Classic…my mother had the text of this posted on our fridge while I was in high school, and I never said a word about it. Years later, she asked me if I had noticed it, and I told her that I knew it would annoy her to no end if I simply kept my mouth shut (and it did). Today, frankly, I’m too old to know everything anymore.
here’s a little joke: manager calls an employee to his office and says:
-when at first hired you, you started at delivering the mail after 3 months i promoted you to sales man after another 2 months you became sales manager then after 4 months i promoted you to general manager, and now i am thinking to retire and make you CEO, tell me what do you think of that?
-thanks
-what? only “thanks”?
-thanks dad!
Oh man, this keeps coming back to haunt me. I’m the guy with the shaggy hair. We all made regrettable hair decisions at 14, no?
The original was made by Wild Bill’s Nostalgia Shop in Middletown, CT. I went to school with one of his daughters, and he paid me $35 to be on it. The returns in random minor fame has been worth it.
I’m a teen, and my parents are still supporting me. In fact, they are overly supportive of me. For the past year or two, I’ve been feeling guilty because I realized that my parents have given me far more than I deserve. They’ve given me food, clothes, Playstations, and everything, and are even offering to help pay for college. Meanwhile, I’m socially awkward, a total shut-in, and don’t know how to get a job, and I am a complete idiot leeching off his parents.
I’ll have to keep this poster in mind, and I’ll have to tell mother that she can use my college money to buy that shiny new car she’s always wanted. If I find a job, and do end up successful and able to pay for college, good for me, but if I end up on the streets, it’s okay, because I totally deserve it.
Well, I have many teens. Not one of them works and I am glad. It is so much more important to me that they get educated. One just started college and he will still not get a job. Do not want him to. I do believe they need to help at home. They do dishes and take the garbage out. They are all responsible for their own rooms. They help keep common living areas clean. I just want my children to get high grades and get great educations. They will have a life time after college to work. Enjoy your children while they still are children.

What’s funny is the poster is telling the teens to do exactly what the stupid parents are saying.

Wow. Just….wow.
I LOVE IT!!!!

What’s Ol’ Man Scotty on about now?
oh stop fooling yourselves, you are all old here
I dunno, but I think he needs a new ear horn and cane. The ones he has are looking a tad battered.
Just give him some pudding. That’ll keep him happy for awhile.
How can he have any pudding if he doesn’t eat his meat?
Well, he can’t eat his meat, Leila stole his teeth! He has to have pudding.
Ummmmmm……
No, I can’t. I just can’t.
*GummySqueezieDragon*
Would you like me to apologize now or later.
Ooh, you want some gummy dragons?? I have some right here. Look, they even have wee little *FOOM!*s coming out of their mouths…!
Eeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! Gummy Dragons!!! My favorite (going forward that is)!!!
NOM!! NOM!!! NOOOOOOOM!!!!!

I find this to be a little insulting… Funny, yet insulting.
You must be a teenager then.

Second!
FIRST!!
FIRST!!
double fail
Act Now.
Go homeless,
Go jobless in this economy,
Go into dept.
There fixed
Go into dept? What dept would that be? Housewares? Automotive? Men’s clothing?
Personally my favorite dept is front end. Pushing carts
I meant “debt” (sorry my fail). but yeah those places might also make you own money
!!!tsriF
First to say first backwards while jumping up and down and laughing maniacally!
I love you
I can totally see every “FIRST!!!111!!” poster jumping up and down while laughing maniacally.
I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance.
~Socrates
Awesome, where can I buy this?
OMG I SAW THIS IN MY HIGH SCHOOL!!!! XD
Or mix and match. Get a job before you’re out of the house so you don’t have to take student loans in college.
Tried it, still needed the damn loans.
This would be true if teens could FIND A FREKING JOB! teens want to work, but can’t find a job b/c NO ONE WILL HIRE THEM. wtf people, stop blaming teens for not working, it’s you all who won’t hire us!
I know right? Even Mickey D’s requires a diploma to apply for a job!
That isn’t true you just have to be over 18 to operate the fryer, but they hire 16 and up I believe.
I used to work with a working permit at 16 and through my school. I was able to buy my own stuff, but I still couldn’t get a credit card, and I learned the hard lesson of wage taxing. Sorry teens, y’all still are not going to be hired to work a 40K job.
They just want a cushy office job or something. You gotta start at the bottom and work your way up! Crappy customer service jobs are plentiful.
So, this “cushy office job” of mine is the best I can ever hope for??!?!??!? It doesn’t get any better than this?! Oh, just shoot me now, please and thank you…
*headdesk*
Crappy retail too.
Whose bottom?
Because we all know the easiest time to get a job is when the country is at ~9% unemployment.
Labor Ready and other labor related jobs are always hiring. The jobs that require you to stand indoors all day and not use any muscle are hard to find.
not true. wasn’t able to find a labor job this summer. i wasn’t looking for a cushy job. i usually work on a seed farm but that wasn’t available this summer. yeah, the economy sucks.

Hey kid, even before I was 16 I was working, bailing hay for the farmer next door. You can get a job, don’t blame adults for not hiring lazy teens.
Not everyone lives in 1800s Midwest America, out here in the Northwest in 2010 they require proof that you’re 16+ and even then they have to hassle with the state childhood labor laws, so nobody wants to hire anyone that young. Besides that, the only jobs you can get in my neighborhood without a PhD requires nudity and cancer (either prostitution or working at a tanning salon where they force you to paint yourself orange and paint naked people orange).
I KNOW!
But be warned! If you move out and become homeless you won’t understand knock knock jokes anymore!
or you won’t live

Too awesome of an win!!

Haha my biology teacher from last year had this sign in her room…but it’s hard to get a job here… :L
What the hell were you doing in your biology techer’s room? O.O
Learning biology, I presume.
♪ Hello! Is there anybody out there? ♫
*hears Ms B*
*just nods*
But is there anyone home?
I’m here, but not for long. Did you see the next fail?
I think I’ll do some work, as long as I’m at the office.
Yup — I’m so completely boycotting it that I’m not even posting on it to say I’m boycotting.
*sigh*
Yet another way to let people automatically equate “female” with “fail”. I’m not posting on that one, either.
*squeezes the peeps all solidarity-like*
Well, I’ll tell a slightly embarrassing story, then.

*snicker* That’s terri *snicker* terrible.
*SNORK*
I mean…no, I mean *SNORK!!*
Hee, I’m glad everyone’s enjoying it.
Should we ask whether it was a clean … ne’mind.
Of course it was. I know she had to break it into pieces to get it to slide down far enough where it couldn’t be seen. I wanna say the thumb hole had the piece with the string and the other pieces were in the finger holes. It was a long time ago, before the time when finger inserts were common, so it’s possible the pieces fit in all three holes.
I wish I remembered how I got my teammate back…I’m sure I did.
How did you lose her?
*ducks!*
Just like that…she ducked down an alley as I was chasing her. You won’t be so lucky.
My dirty mind needs a lot of help.
Buahahah!!! You know me so well.

Yeah, I saw that abomination. Pleh. I figured I’d stay and play here, but everyone seems to be industrious today. I don’t wanna work.
*pouts*
I’m not in the mood to post on that fail. I came back here, and found myself getting a swirly. Whata world.
You got a swirly?
What flavor? Wait, it’s not what I think it is. Is it?
21ST POST!
Its yellow…

Hypocrisy! Adults, do you mean to say that you never complain about how much you hate your job and your boss? We just know that you won’t fire us if we talk back.
They hate it. But they suck it up because, oh, I don’t know. Somebody needs to eat, drink, go to college and buy hot topic t-shirts?
If you were my kid and you complained often enough about how much you hate your job (freeloading) and your boss (me) you’d definitely be invited to find a new “situation”.

Hah. I know someone who has this exact poster.
There aren’t any jobs right now though…
This should be printed and posted everywhere, preferably in malls, justin bieber concerts, and twilight opening night.
My old math teacher has that in his class room and it has been there for years
My physics teacher from a year ago had this poster in his classroom ahaha
I’m a teenager who thinks this is WIN.

Don’t drop out of high school kids
Lol, that’s what I did!
moved out at 16, got my own job, finished school, payed all my bills, bought a car, started my own life.
here’s a little joke: manager calls an employee to his office and says:
-when at first hired you, you started at delivering the mail after 3 months i promoted you to sales man after another 2 months you became sales manager then after 4 months i promoted you to general manager, and now i am thinking to retire and make you CEO, tell me what do you think of that?

Now if this aint the bast piece of advice I’ve heard in 55 years I don’t know if I’ll ever hear anything to repeat (or listen to) — this is IT
one of the best posters i’ve ever seen….lol!
most teens arent that bad. remember all of us oldies were once teens so none of us can complain! not that im that old really…

HAHA best part: “do it while you still know everything”
I’m a teen, and my parents are still supporting me. In fact, they are overly supportive of me.

Poster fail.
Well, I have many teens. Not one of them works and I am glad. It is so much more important to me that they get educated. One just started college and he will still not get a job. Do not want him to. I do believe they need to help at home. They do dishes and take the garbage out. They are all responsible for their own rooms. They help keep common living areas clean. I just want my children to get high grades and get great educations. They will have a life time after college to work. Enjoy your children while they still are children.
Once they do that, they’ll be BEGGING to come back home…that is, if they’re able to.
We had a poster like this in my maths class
