The world is screwed

Today when I came back from lunch there were 6 boxes of paper stacked outside the office that had apparently been deilvered while we were closed.  There were also about half a dozen young men lounging in the hallway waiting to get in for various reasons.  As I came in I grabbed a box of the paper.  Our receptionist said to the guys "come on in, bring a box of paper with you". 

Not one brought in a box.  That's right folks chivalry is not only dead, so are common courtesy and the ability to follow directions.

I put this in the same category as college students 'meandering' across the street while cars are waiting or dropping a piece of trash, looking at it, and then continuing on their way.

Seriously, I hope this generation all get knocked up early and pop out some kids capable running the place, I have no faith in the college population as a whole to not run the world straight into the crapper while looking at the person next to them and saying 'that wasn't my job'.

Stop being so damned entitled and put forth some effort already.  My generation was always generally clueless about what being grown-up would mean, but at least we freaking hustle if traffic is piling up.  Oh, and the paper, Mike brought all the rest in before he took off for class.  What punks!

There, I am officially old.  I'm pretty sure being thouroughly unimpressed with the next generation was my last hurdle of youth.
