Just this past week, my beautiful bride scrolled through the years for a clothing retailer — it only had 50 years to choose from. She’s officially outside that store’s demographic.
I have always wondered why they start with the current year when you must be of a certain age to sign up to most sites, yes it would be easier to just type in a year.
I feel the same way,only problem is I don’t use a smart phone and my dang Desktop PC is too is too heavy to throw over my shoulder,plus the wires and cables would probably jerk it back onto my head and I have enough “Head Issues”. I don’t know it might “Knock” some sense into me.You-all have a Great Day and Be Safe.
Yup, I have this problem, but I’m older than Garfield. A worse one is when they put up a calendar and it shows June 2019 and you have to scroll back a month at a time.
True story: I once went to a website that asked for my age. I entered: 983. It took it! From then on I didn’t take any such request seriously. BTW, for Occupation: Time Lord.

You’d think before the second to the last panel, you’d reach 1978. (Garfield’s birthday sure is inching closer by the day.)

Get used to it, cat. It just gets worse and worse. Until it doesn’t.

Poor Garfield, he saw all those years pass in front of him.

I know the feeling. I’m beginning to wonder how much longer it will be until I scroll down & my year is not there. :)

Time flies when you’re getting old.

Uggghhhh, the older you are the longer you have to scroll to get to your year. Finally you reach the “older than dirt” year and there I am.

You’d think Technology would switch to decades instead of years when you’re that old, don’t you Garfield? No respect.

You know what’s really funny about these scrolls? Is that they go back to 1900.

I say be proud of those years, Garfield; especially when they’ve gone as well as your have.

No entries for BCE years, Gar?

When you spend more time searching for the year you were born than filling out the rest of the other entries…

You’re still better off than I, Garf. Enjoy your “youth” while it lasts! :D

What would Garfield do when the website asks him which ethnic group he belongs to?

One would think they could default to somewhere in the middle.

In the years before Y2K
A two digit year ruled the day
But what of the century you may well ask
18 or 19 or even 20 was the coding task
What was the date, how was it used
Without knowing that we would certainly confuse
So testing the year wasn’t simple, you see
Who knew I retired in 1903 ;-)

I have to fill out forms for my mom. You would be surprised how far down you have to go for 1928.

I know how you feel Garfield, but don’t give up pal.

Garfield is more concerned of his age than most of the women.
