Erin in Arlington, Virginia says this sign appeared in every elevator in her building during the D.C. area’s Snowmaggedon of 2010. “Apparently cabin fever requires drinks…and only people in their 20s and early 30s.”

Snowed in? Come meet your neighbors! (Unless you’re like, old.)

It kinda sorta looks like the “be in your 20s or 30s” is in a different handwriting. Unless that’s the “serious” handwriting to differentiate it as the “fine print” to the rest of the note.

They forgot to add the “Only hotties allowed” line.

Mid life crisis seeks young attractive “friend” with own beer fund. Must like baggage and involuntary confinement. No prior TPO’s.

People in their late 30′s and early 40′s are still fun. But you can’t catch me drinking with no senior citizens.

A camel is a horse designed by committee: the age limit has been set in different handwriting.
What sort of a person takes advantage of someone who draws such nice witch/snowmen???

Looks like I still have time to make it to the party! Oh wait. I’m, like, in my 40s. Bummer. Guess I’ll just drink alone.

Technically I’m in my late 30′s, but I enjoy a Rob Roy or a Sidecar as much as the next cat.

In addition, older people (usually) drink better booze and are happy to share. So limit it to 20s-30s and get a lot of cheap beer and handles of Captain at your party OR be more inclusive and you might get a sip of the Old Rip Van Winkle 23 year old. mmmm

Guess I’d have to show up and hit on every woman that was there and drink as much of their liquor that I could. Yes, I’m an old fossil….

I thought for a second that it said “Let’s minge”…
Not to mention that the smile face looks like it is constipated.

It is a LAN party, they want to meet their Farmville neighbors, and the drinks? Jolt Cola.

I’ll pass on the wicked snow party in the computer room even though I’m in my early 30′s. I much prefer to mingle with mature people in a more sociable environment were drinks are already provided. *since you know, i’m broke*

Well, they didn’t specify what kind of “mingling” is taking place in the computer room. Maybe they have their reasons to be specific.

Wait, do we think this party was really on Wednesday? Because if it’s tonight, I’m ready to grab some booze and my ID – I think I can make it there in 20.

Those sly, old upper 30′s and above people apparently beat the whippersnappers when it came to booking the Central Building Computer Room.
Oh, the joy they’ll have later this evening watching the intoxicated young folks stagger past on their way home to the North building.

I get it – I’m 35 and in bed by 9 PM on a weeknight anyway. I like to beat the blue hair rush at the cafeteria so I eat dinner by 3:30 and then I start drinking so it’s more like I’m passed out by 9PM. I’m older and have my priorities straight.

Well, that party was a bust. All they did was sit around listening to Bob Dylan songs and watching Logan’s Run.

Noone likes to be drank under the table by a geezer. When I was in the Army I got married, and my buddy Matt challenged my mom to a drinking contest. Lets just say he didn’t live it down for quite some time.
Team MOM!!!!! or is it MoM?

The kids are getting smarter.
Last year they tried to hold an impromptu rave in the courtyard, and me and my team of disco bunnies out-hustled the whole group to the tune of Love Hangover. Ah, the Riuniti on ice was nice!
What, and now we’re all banned??

Computer room? No wifi? I wouldn’t want to live in a place with 25-30 year olds who even knew what a Computer Room was…

People, people… You’re misreading this. The note was sent by the sex offender downstairs. He’s not allowed to be within 50 feet of anyone younger than 20, but he still wants you to LOOK young…

How did lil Ms. Sunshine here enforce the ageism? Checking IDs at the door would be too direct and god knows they’re passive aggressive. So was there some sort of hispter clothing quotient? A quiz of indie rock bands from the 00′s? Or did they just ask everyone coming in “who was your favorite Saved By The Bell character”?

Nearly everyone is Arlington is under 30 anyway. Unfortunately, almost everyone in Arlington is unattractive as well. So I’m not sure what the point of all this is.
