You know you're starting to grow up when....

... you realise that you've gained 'contacts' (not close friends that you'd see every day) that are important in some way or another, and you need to send them a Christmas Card.

Growing up sucks

basically if you have fonder memories of fingering a girl when you're 15 at the side of some shop than getting the ride you're gone all nostalgiac

When you have a Stick that you keep for stiring paint.




Incedently, i was Waiting at a bus stop one day when i was 15, and when the bus pulled up, these kides (about 11/12) started pushing to get on, the driver said "sorry, can you wait till the man gets on?"

turns out he was talking to me. i was chuffed, then proceeded in paying 35 pence for the fair

Cillit Bang for the cleaning - just make sure you spray the hammer with WD-40 after you knock someone's head in - it stops it going rusty when it's out in the shed.

As for loud music - you know yr getting old when you have a party & the neighbours don't even notice.

When you drink wine because you enjoy it rather than just to get you slaughtered.

This happened to me on Halloween . . . went out and the band was so loud, my eardrums were ringing. I had to go outside to take a break!

. . . you're tired 90% of the time and love to get to bed before midnight.

CrazyRabbit

When you stop viewing After Hours.

orourkeda

you have pubes

jokettle

You'd rather have a few quiet drinks with close friends over Christmas instead of going out and being almost crushed to death in an over-packed nightclub.

When you spell it "nightclub" instead of "niteclub"

Fúckin hell, half the stuff in this thread applies to me.

You know you're getting old when you start making noises to help you get out of a chair.

Even the mere sight of students fills you with an unfair, inexplicable, but profound sense of irritation.

Doozie

When you stop counting the amount of cash you have in the number of pints you can buy with it.

When women out shopping with their runaway kids tell them to 'mind the lady'.

When you take down your posters and put up framed art.

**Timbuk2**

When you start commenting on the weather to your friends

AnonoBoy

You hear about a singer who has sold out the O2 in record time and you realise you have no idea who they are.

Deirdre's Photo Casebook is no longer hilarious.

You are used by parents in shops/on buses as a means to keep their children quiet. "Be quiet or the man will get angry."

Dinner parties actually involve food and talking about current affairs as opposed to lashing into wine and drugs.

Your parents views on things start making sense.

sir snackbox

i recently taught a class in a primary school

and when you walk into a room full of kids and you know that you are expected to the responsible adult and keep order and all that jazz ... adulthood hits you in the face haha
