    I think you're only getting old when you give up on life. When you've accepted "this is all there is". When you're afraid to do things anymore. You let yourself go, become unsociable (use RTE in its place), and slowly get bitter...

    :D

    Not wanting to queue for taxis, or not wanting to be in a place with very loud music, or wanting to wear comfy slippers, etc., is just common sense.

    Yes but at least it doesn't say "your".

    When you realise that the cutie in the office wasn't even born when you started work / were at college. Spooky.

    When all your mates want to go home at midnight cos they have to get up for work the next day. Yawn

    When people your own age start talking about "young people" as if they were a different species:(

    When your friends start showing up in the obituary column.

    I heard two guys in their late sixties talking about people that they both knew who had died recently. People they had known all their lives.

    Now that surely is a bad sign indeed.

    old is agreeing with you and looking to see who's fault it is, only to realise that I started the thread.
    What I want for christmas this year is a dressing gown and a pair of slippers so I can sit around the house all day
    I just called Czech Republic Czechoslovakia

    You clean your teeth in a glass.

    Someone tries to help you across the road.

    When you think ****e movies like Borat are a load of rubbish. ..Doh

    you're still young if you find CSG amusing/hot/delete as appropriate ;)

    When you begin to realise you're probably not going to be a premiership footballer after all... Most of the players on the team I support are younger than me. I suppose I should let it go!


  • Moderators, Regional Abroad Moderators Posts: 26,928 Mod ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    I'm only 22, but something that made me feel old the other day was realising that my first year poster monkeys in a college society I'm involved with are all around 5 years younger than me... Also the thought that there'll be people in college next year born in 1990.

    Whenever you are staring at some girl and your friend goes "She only 19" and you go "so?" and he looks disgusted.

    I really start to feel old when I tell my kids that when I was their age we had ...

    No mobile phones

    No cordless telephones

    Only one channel (RTE)

    No TV remote control (I suppose we didn't really need it)

    No home computer

    No Playstation etc

    No www

    No texts, email, instant messaging, Bebo etc

    No microwaves

    No CD's, mp3's

    No Laser cards

    No bar codes

    No Irish motorways

    No Lotto

    No Tesco, Lidl, Aldi, PC World, Atlantic Homecare, Dominoes Pizza, etc etc


    Also...

    You could get slapped in school.

    Women had to leave the civil service if they got married.

    You were really rich if you went beyond England on holidays.

    If you said 'cool' you were a twerp who was trying to sound American.

    If your Mum said 'Shift yourself' you didn't find it funny.

    If someone said 'You're sad' it meant you were crying.

    An Air Hostess was a really glamorous job.

    To be a millionaire was beyond comprehension.

    .... when you bump into your mates in Tesco's on a friday evening rather than down the pub :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 175 ✭✭exCrumlinBoyo


    I’m 27 but feel way beyond my years when both my kids are in bed asleep at 8 and alls I want to do is plonk my arse down on the chair and watch some telly trying my best to stay awake. I feel old because my energy levels are dwindling as each year goes by. Complaining about the carry on of the teenagers. Looking forward to sitting in on a Saturday Night and taking it easy……


    The 40 + people are reading this about us 20 somethings and rolling their eyes.....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 65 ✭✭sinbadfury


    ...or when you think you should post to a forum asking the question to which you suspect you already know the answer :p

    ...old is a state of mind people....it's the body that lets you down

  • Registered Users Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil


    Well I'm 26 and loving it, don't feel old at all, possibly cause I just got asked for Id last weekend and 18yr olds keep hitting on me! tehe :D
    However if someone ever said I look my age... I might cry

    When your in a nightclub and Prodigy "Out of Space" comes on, all your fat sweaty mates try to dance for thirty seconds, then lean against the wall shagged out.

    That song is 14 years old!

    When you are delighted to hear the doctor saying "you're in good condition for your age".
