Starting to wonder why it’s even legal for me to just... do stuff without supervision.

Every now and then the shock of adulthood hits me and I get this weird vertigo. Like I just realised I’m in a life boat adrift on an infinite ocean.
@girlonthenet The really REALLY big one is when the midwife waves bye-bye to you in the maternity hospital car park.
"WTF are we supposed to do now?" was our response.

@girlonthenet I bought a fucking TABLE SAW and nobody even asked me if I was sure
@ifixcoinops @girlonthenet see this bullshit? this driver license? this gives me authority to operate motor vehicles at speeds exceeding 100 kilometers *per hour*.
honestly what the fuck, I got tested once 30 years ago and it's just been "ohhh hey do this administrative thing every time you move across an arbitrary line on the map or 4 years pass"

@girlonthenet I've been an adult now for 4 decades, and I still get that feeling...

@rey @ifixcoinops cannot believe this is allowed. Someone should look into it, but who? I’m starting to think we’re all children all the way down

@ifixcoinops that is horrifying, you could have someone’s eye out.
@girlonthenet I have a story about that table saw and my genitals if you'd like to either laugh or make the
face -

we used to laugh about things that said "requires adult supervision". not as funny when you start to accept that you are now adult supervision.

@ifixcoinops I bought a petrol chainsaw. From Tesco. Nobody tried to tell me this wasn't a good idea!
@greem @girlonthenet wait wtf a TESCO chainsaw? They sell chainsaws at Tesco's now?!
...was it a Tesco's Value chainsaw?

@rey see this bullshit? this breeding license? this gives me authority to impregnate bottoms at speeds exceeding 100 pups *per hour*.

@girlonthenet I am feeling this so much right now

@girlonthenet one time they put me in a ROOM and I had to talk to a CLIENT and it was a big IMPORTANT thing and they expected ME to explain it! I’m 12!!!

@girlonthenet a question I still ask all the time, and I'm fifty-mumble.
Then I look at everyone else in charge and think well I'm not *that* useless.
anyway I've just done my nails for the weekends race, so I'm good.

I’ve signed legal documents. I own a boiler. I turn up to work and pay my internet bill and set the dishwasher to go overnight. And no one even checks whether I’m doing any of those things properly.
@girlonthenet And then at some point you realize the retirement you're planning for is actually way closer than you ever thought it could be. (Twelve years for me, which was half a lifetime when I was a callow youth but now those years pass by disturbingly quickly and I still have no idea what the hell I'll do other than "move somewhere that isn't a car-dominated suburban hellscape".)
