From people being sentimentally attached to phones held together with duct tape to people trying to contact one another with smoke signals and email instead of just texting, there are a lot of things that suggest we are not actually living in the future as people may think!
And, to prove this, here are 17+ moments that prove we are still living in the Dark Ages!

“My husband and I finally talked his dad into upgrading from his iphone4. It was a tough battle but now we can finally put this bad boy to rest.”
Now, I hate upgrading my phone as it is an absolute drag (I know, first world problems), but I think that even I would have upgraded before my phone got to this state!
“Congration You Done It…”
And yet, despite these horrific typos and generally awful writing, this damn cake is still $14.98!
“Just a matter of time…”
Ah yes, I always thought that pulling up at my house after a long day at work was far too relaxing! But, with this handy contraption, it will be turned into a mind-bending, terrifying experience!
“Co-worker went on vacation, so we ‘upgraded’ his hardware.”
I’ve got to be honest: I’d have been so pleased to come in and find this. What a nostalgia trip! Wouldn’t have gotten much work done that day though…
“My mom is absolutely done with people stealing food in her office.”
I love that she is trying to speak to her coworkers as adults at first, then at the end she just resorts to saying that she is spitting in her food for now on. Such an escalation.
Sick Of These Old-Fashioned Trees!
What kind of ski lodge hasn’t got the new movable trees upgrade yet?! This is a downright abomination! What am I supposed to do, move out of the way of them?
“There’ll be peace when you are done!”
“Lay your weary head to rest / Don’t you cry no more / Once I rose above the noise and confusion / and begged to be moved to first class!”
“So I asked my daughter to replace the toilet paper roll… Job well done!”
I mean, she effectively completed the task. However, she did so in a way that makes me want to rip my eyes out.
Parenting 101!
Another person shared their own story of funnily returned items, writing, “My favorite was a TV that was returned with the func. check reason: ‘Wife said no’.”
“I now have a tradition every time I upgrade my phone.”
I like the idea of this, although I don’t have a picture of me holding my old Nokia 3310. Also, answer your phone sometimes, guy!
“A convenient place to store your balls.”
Sure, it might be an incredible loss to your body, but you get to own this sweet pink pouch!
“See What Ya’ll Done Did!”
Guys, I know that Ben & Jerry’s is incredibly tasty and a little pricey, but stop stealing it and ruining the fun for the rest of us!
“My local theatre is getting roof construction done.”
In fairness, the way they have written that out perfectly reflects how I always imagined a theater would speak, if it could! Finally, I have vindication!
“A lady wanted to upgrade this at an [AT&T] store.”
Well, a lot of places do say that they will accept any phone when it comes to a trade-in! I wonder how much you could get off the latest iPhone with this bad boy?
“My uncle’s house got a bathroom without a door, literally the first thing you see when you enter the house.”
That is one hell of a way to greet your guests! At least put a curtain across, man! Jesus Christ, get a curtain!
“Friend in [high school] sent me this pic after he left a cubicle and saw all these guys in the bathroom waiting to get a haircut by another kid.”
The janitor at this school must be absolutely baffled as to why there is always so much hair on the floor of the bathroom!
“They’ll Get There!”
I really wonder what good that guy holding the ladder is really going to be when the guy inevitably falls, followed shortly by that couch.
“What planet are they living on?”
In fairness, we still live on a planet where people think that the world might be flat, so it’s no surprise to me that someone might actually think that this is what the globe looks like!
“Done!”
Quite frankly, it’s bad enough that this place had to put up a sign to tell people to do this in the first place!
“Had a procedure done and the last thing I remember before going under was the Dr. laughing.”
Hmmm, I think that I’d still be worried depending on whether the doctor’s laugh was a “Ha ha ha,” or a “Muahahahahaaa!”
“Should I still knock?”
First, there was the guy whose bathroom was right by the front door, and now this?! What is wrong with some designers?
“This horrible, deformed Hobby Lobby Christmas ornament.”
I am certain that this must be some form of sacrilege… I don’t know what happened to Baby Jesus here but I feel incredibly sorry for him!
“A solar-powered streetlight under a bridge in Hong Kong.”
I feel the same level of resignation as this solar-powered streetlight when I inevitably give up on a health kick I’ve just started.
“Friend got a book called ‘Crap Taxidermy’ this is my favorite.”
We were supposed to have jet packs and time travel by now, but people can’t even get taxidermy right!
“This door slides shut onto a light switch.”
They’re just trying to save energy by turning off the lights every time someone goes through the door! Either that or they’re just an idiot!
Installed To Perfection…
“I thought that I’d install it the new way. All of the coolest houses have their air-conditioner this way!”
“Really?”
“Well…no, but they might!”
“The old fashioned way.”
I think that, in this day and age, someone is more likely to answer a smoke signal than an email!
“Found an ancient artefact.”
Now that is a real phone! I bet if you crack that bad boy out of there it will still be working and ready to play Snake!
Congratulations!
They really could not have been any clearer here, could they? I mean, they say it goddamn twice!
“At least she got the job done!”
“Hi, here’s your pizza! If you could possibly tip generously, I need to pay to get my car fixed!”
