How very mature of you.

Once upon a time, you sneered at office workers walking into work in their pristine white runners. But now you are one of them.

And you have thought extensively about  your terms and conditions. (25% of the winnings or no dice.)

4. Your priority on a night out is to get a seat and not the shift

5. This is your jam and you feel weird if you don’t hear it in the morning

6. And you have developed a soft spot for Ronan Collins

Whether you admit it or not.

7. You actually own your own set of towels — that you purchased yourself!

As opposed to the ragged towels your Mam gave you when you set off for college all those years ago.

8. You live in a house/flat with central heating as opposed to storage heating

Progress!

9. You’ve been able to smugly say, “I’m driving down if you need a lift”

Look at you being a reliable, responsible adult.

10. You feel a little bit scabby if you don’t have a sneaky fiver/present to hand when you meet your niece/nephew/child of friend

Oh right, this is a thing that is expected of me now.

11. You lost this years ago and haven’t bothered your arse replacing it

It’s really not necessary anymore.

12. You feel legitimately ancient watching GAA
