I know right!

RABS making you click through every fucking month of your entire life, and then making you start over when you click back out to make sure make sure you couldn't just type it in...meanwhile you can't say shit because of the guy in his 80s doing the same damn thing in the next chair over like...?

Yep me too

They need to add a 80-90 and 90–100 year-old categories so we all feel better…

SO. MANY. SCROLLS. I feel personally attacked.

I can’t tell you how many times ive been like “oh for fcks sake”

Has anyone at Denny’s pointed at their 55+ menu? That really drills it home.

💯🤣😂🤣

Indeed. Is it really that hard to allow us just to enter our birth year? Ageists... 🤬

I scroll to 1969 and think, Nice!

It's a personal attack.

I make this move with the birthday scroll

At that rate, I could play a whole song.

I have to do that almost all the way. Rude.

It hits hard when you realise it'd be quicker to scroll from the bottom, up.

Instead of, "What year were you born," they should reword it to, "How wise are you?"

Oh! You have no idea! It takes a full 5 months to get to mine. 😏😉😂

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

Same

😆😁

Same thing for the state. Just let me type in two letters instead of scrolling more than halfway through the list!

Just making sure we still have the fine motor skills and that we still REMEMBER!

A few yrs ago i had to do something important online & the DOB had a glitch. Couldn't type it in or scroll. Had to hit back button for EVERY month ive been alive allll the way to the 60s 😩 Still not over it 🤣

I built a site with about a quarter million accounts by now that had to collect date of birth. Originally I used the browser's date field. I had exactly one account complain, vehemently, about having to do that. I rewrote it with m/d/y drop-downs. Sometimes it's just easier!

If a device is ancient enough it doesn't matter how you build a site. Plenty of things wont be visible, wont function, especially if security is involved. That "one person" is almost always me 🤣

Hahaha! It's true though. Can't support everything and still have current best practice security.

So fun when trying to deal with medical stuff or pay bills etc 😩

Lolol right? Those website forms that make you scroll till you find the year are getting increasingly brutal. Just let me type it in will ya? Lol

What's even scarier for me is that the number of dates still on the list that precede mine are dwindling fast! 😎

Right? 🙄

I actually scroll right to the oldest one, often 1900. I'm 125 years old!

😂 About thumb roll three, I’m out. 😂

Even for basic age gates where I only scroll down to 18 or 21 years ago, I get real depressed seeing 2007 or 2004.

The should be just one button for pre1980

I does take a while. Like step out for a coffee awhile.

Maaaan I feel you 😭

Hahahahaha

Would you prefer that the century and 2-digit year were separated? Pick your century ... and then pick your year ... nyaaa.

I know what you mean...I feel like I am on The Price is Right.

I have callouses on my fingers from scrolling down sub-1950!

My aged mother is in her 90s, the last time I filled a form on an app for her it only scrolled back to 1945.

"What we're gonna do right here is scroll back, way back, back into time. When the only people that existed were troglodytes... cave men... cave women... Neanderthal... troglodytes."

You think you've got it bad -- my birth year is 1 year behind you!

For when you have to click on your age range, and you have to click a different range. You aged out! I hate that.

Exactly!! I don’t need a visual reminder of how many years have passed 😉😂

YES

Seriously. Why can’t we type it in? We’ll never get that wasted scrolling time back.

Think how I feel…any day Im expecting my BD to have fallen of the wheel entirely

I'm pretty sure I dislocated my finger with the last scroll, and I could've sworn that I'm still 26 years old...when did I pass that by 2 decades?!

Reminds me of your buddy Drew and that godamnned wheel.

Kind of like this -

I like to give the slider on my phone a big flick to spin down and see how close I get

The older I get, the more I have to scroll, and then I get the urge to tell the neighbor kids to get off my lawn.

That’s hilarious. It’s like playing the showcase on The Price Is Right for me now, I have to scroll so hard 🤣

It always goes back to 1933

And it's like, "Really? You need to go back farther??"

The ones that make you go back one month at a time for 65 years

It feels like if you spin the Wheel of Fortune. It just keeps spinning.

Agreed. It's deliberate humiliation.

Just imagine if you were Zachary Zestman from Yoder Wyoming and a NYE baby!

I spin the wheel like Price is Right.

Feels like doom scrolling. 🤣

I still don't like the term Doom Scrolling. Doom is holding W down and left-arrow/right/arrow scrolling :)

Just look forward to 62. If National Parks still exist, get the lifetime pass.

I bask in your wisdom 🧘‍♂️

Agree

I had to give my DOB at the doc office last week, and actually froze up when I started the year with 19… Last century???

The list should start with some shortcuts 🤔🤔🤔

It’s like spinning the “big wheel” on Price is Right.

There should be 2 dials decades & years

I'm irritated that kids view me like I viewed people born in the 1800s when I was a kid.

Yeah, not sure why they continue to use a date picker for birthdays. It takes a lot longer than just typing the date in. Maybe if they set the default date to 1/1/1970, it would not take so long.

I wish I could just type it in. It's so annoying. It makes me feel so old. Lol

Just flip your index finger and let it roll like you’re spinning a roulette wheel. A couple of times.

I always feel like I fell down that hole in "Land of the Lost." I expect to see dinosaurs.

I feel seen

I click on the "Same as Disneyland" choice. It's there, you just have to look for it.

Wait until you reach the age when you can speed scroll and still not have to worry about going too far.

Yep. Putting in the numbers is now faster.

I like the badly designed ones where you have to go through every single month that's occurred since you were born, and by the time you get there you're a year older.

We’re 25 rows away from the 1900’s 🙄

Like, just let me type it in, why are you making me go through this

Three spins, at least, just to get down to the 1960's! Abomination 😂

It’s better on iOS where I just pretend I’m spinning the wheel on Price is Right

Damn you Aaron I just typed that before o saw your previous post. Well done!

IKR?

🫂

I feel like a contestant on The Price Is Right
