You know you're old when... ?

[-aggie-]

When all 21 year olds look 16 to you. 😱

When someone asks your age you have to take the current year and subtract your birth year to determine it.

"Back in my day... we used to walk to school... In the snow... uphill both ways."

You know your old when you can't get up from sitting on a chair without going, "aaghhrrrrrraaaaahhhh"

You know you're old when you actually had a 12" black and white tv with a knob dial. Oh, wait, maybe that's cause I was poor as a kid. 🙁😱

...when all professional athletes are suddenly younger than you.

Ahhh, Cosby. "I asked for fifty cents[!!] to go to the movies, my father starts telling me how he killed a grizzly bear with his loose-leaf notebook!" 😀

Yep.

You know you're old when you actually had a 12" black and white tv with a knob dial. Oh, wait, maybe that's cause I was poor as a kid. 🙁😱

I got one for Christmas; so did my brother and my sister. My mother got tired of all of us bitching about who got to watch what.

...when all professional athletes are suddenly younger than you.

In my case (non-sports watcher heterosexual male) it's when all the Playboy Playmates are younger than I am. Hell, some are younger than my oldest son...

How about the coaches? 😱

Your question presumes the victim survived the first one...

I'm gonna have more than one??? 😱

I expect another heart attack eventually but the dietary fiber helps prolong the inevitable

 

[bushbeat]

I realize I'm old every morning - looking in the mirror. Feels ok btw!

You never forget the day you get your first gray hair. And I'm not talking about on the top of your head. 😱

...and your wife is the one who discovers it. 😱 😀

...the dietary fiber...

🙂

Yes, we be eating our vegetables and other high dietary fiber food. 😀

You know you're old when you notice that your grandchildren are getting grey hair.

you can't even swallow your dinosaur juice from a straw.

Make sure you get your punch card stamped. 10th one is free 😉

When you have to explain the cultural references in all your jokes 🙁

Not part of the zipper club just yet, trying to avoid letting it get that far LOL

You miss a big thread like this for days and then are afraid to read it. 😀

 

[Thomas Veil]

You're old

...when you remember seeing "2001: A Space Odyssey" in its original release and thinking that it was a movie about the distant future...

...when you have to stop bouncing the grandkids up and down in your lap because your arms hurt...

...when you hear punk kids talk about how awful the special effects were on Star Trek and Lost in Space, and you remember them as being state-of-the-art...

...when it gets cold and rainy like it is this weekend, and your knees start to hurt -- just like your grandfather's did...

...when your idea of an enjoyable weekend is watching the original versions of "The Manchurian Candidate", "The Thomas Crown Affair" and "Ocean's Eleven"...

When you remember getting one of the first handheld calculators.

You know, the ones with Add, Subtract and Multiply with no division or any other functions or memory. 🙂

Oh, and the 9 Volt battery lasted about 15-20 minutes. 😱

 

[montycat]

I clearly remember seeing the Ramones play in NYC the 1970s when I was a teenager. I cant believe it was over thirty years ago😱

 

[dontwalkhand]

When bus and train operators still made announcements by hand rather than a computer.
When 17" CRT monitors were HUGE
"OMG YOU HAVE AOL? THAT IS SO COOL!"

 

[iBlue]

When pint-sized tweenagers call me "ma'am". Now you look here, child, that's just sadism disguised as politeness! Refer to me like that again and I'll clobber you with mah walkin' stick and gum you within an inch of your short little life.

When you have music CDs older than the person that you are engaged in a conversation. 😱

 

[GfPQqmcRKUvP]

I'm only 24 years old and started feeling old when I saw professional athletes that are younger than me.

Same.

When you shop for products "rich in fibre".

To add:

When you know that eating a good steak will change things, if you know what I mean. 😀
