Went to the shop to buy some new pairs of socks and when walking around looking for the mens, I noticed the children's socks are all cool. Brightly coloured, cartoon characters designs like SpongeBob, Pokémon, Mario, different quirky patterns and stuff. They were awesome. (I know you can get fun adult socks. I've got some X-Men, Spider-man, Mr Men and Beano ones. But they're harder to get than kids fun socks)
Got to the adult section, I had a choice of black, white or navy blue. Same with things like toothpaste. Adult toothpaste comes in mint; but kids toothpaste comes in flavours like pineapple or strawberry?
Or books, I often find myself reading Young Adult books because they're just more fun. Often with cool creative Sci-Fi or fantasy elements, fun stories featuring heroes and villains and lot's of creativity like... moving cities mounted on wheels, a hidden community of wizards in the UK, a knife that can cut through the fabric of the universe to parallel worlds. Fantasy and Sci-Fi for adults is, unfortunately, considered kinda a niche/geeky/childish thing.
So yeah, why when you get to an adult does everything you can buy become so utterly boring?

I'd say thats an adult fantasy novel series that's definitely a page-turner. |

Booze and work are not boring. Well, maybe the latter, but then you get those days when your co-worker does something stupider than usual.

Booze is only fun around other fun adults, and they're aren't as many of those as I'd like.

Tell me about it. I went for some new glasses the other week, and this kid got to take home a cool pair of Mr. Men glasses, while all I got was a pair of bland, black framed ones.

You're shopping in the wrong stores it sounds like.
Either that it you need to start shopping online in places like etsy. That'll have all the fun adult stuff you'll ever need.
Regarding fiction, you probably need to start looking at some independent books or something.

I have always hated being an adult. I never like it when people call me a man and I always call myself a boy and women girls. I'm sure they don't mind  Strip Clubs are gross, plain and simple. Dirty old looking places with the ugliest women I have ever seen. Seriously, I would not hit on any girl, I have seen strip. Internet porn does the job and does it well. Bars are ok.... if you are out with the right people. Live music is fun sometimes and getting drunk with people who are fun and can handle it (eg not start crying or trying to fight everyone or the most common one: turning into a giant %^&*$$#) is great, but you feel it the next day. Work sucks. Plain and simple, it takes too much time out of the day and you have to kiss everyone's ass all the damn time. The money always seems to be less then you should be getting..well at least I always think so. |

I've been to a strip club a few times and it's pretty fun, but I usually don't go by my own will. The few times I've gone, I've gone with friends and I was already loaded by the time I went. I guess the logic behind going is that you don't have to watch all these naked ladies behind a computer screen. They're live, in the flesh (literally) at the club. |

If kids are so great why is everything bad named after them? Acting childish, kidnapping, child abuse?

I have Batman socks on. They are adult socks. I have socks with blinged out cats that say "Meowy Christmas" they are adults.

Because adults are boring. Adulthood is boring.
Fun stuff is for kids. You've got work to do.
