It’s reported that millennials across the nation are facing their first taste of mortality since Bindi Irwin got married, as people in ‘authority figure’ professions appear to be getting younger.
One millennial in question, Tom Bloom, 33, tells The Advocate that he arrived at the Betoota CBD doctors to get a hemorrhoid checked out this morning, only to have his bum grape inspected by a doctor who looked a good five years younger than him.
To add further insult to injury, Tom says he also just lodged a rental application, which is to be assessed by a real estate agent who looked like he just graduated from high school.
“Fuck me, is everyone getting younger or am I getting older?”, mutters Tom, taking a small suck on his vape, “I swear doctors all used to be over the age of fifty.”
“When did they start getting so young?”
Tom says it’s both the sense of mortality and realisation that someone much younger than him has just finished eight years of medical school, that rattles him.
“It really makes me question what I’ve done with my life”, he admits, “it’s not a great feeling.”
“Mind you, neither is having hemorrhoids.”
More to come.
