Just because you're not a teenager any more doesn't mean you are old, ya wee scallwag!

Jesus man i'm 21 as well and i'm sure as hell not letting myself think i'm getting old yet.

Maybe when i hit 35.. Maybe.

The first time, while working in a supermarket during college, that a mother told her child to "let the man pass."

Teaching my first class of teenagers was also a strange moment, being on the other side of that divide for the first time.
Though I was never sure how to take it when the girls in each new group would invariably ask me how old I was.

since turning 30:( last febuary ive noticed a few things that are starting to show that im getting old -

making an ahhhhhhhh noise and whispering 'jaysus' as i stand up out of a chair

ive a nose hair that a midget could bungee jump with

i get annoyed when i hear kids playing ' music' on the bus

music nowadays is shite

When you go up to the bar and someone mentions the weather, and instead of going "ah sure jaysus", you actually go on to have a conversation about the weather.

When I start talking to you.

yeahimhere

When I'd absolutely no idea who or what was number 1 in the charts. Or in the top 10....

Brendog

When I remember when I was a kid I thought I'd be working in a steady office job in New York by 20.

I'm 21 in 7 months, unemployed and nowhere near getting a degree.

Don't feel like I'm getting old. Just have no sense of accomplishment.

humbert

When I realised that hitting on students(the undergrad kind) would be a bit weird. @^&ing depressing.

The King of Moo

There was also the time on AH when I saw a thread entitled "When did you realise you were getting old?" and didn't question whether I should reply and didn't have to struggle to come up with an answer to the question.

Fbjm

When I started college and realised I was never going to get my youth back.

Oh to be under 18 again...

Oranage2

When you tell kids to f*ck off away from the garden - I remember when if i heard the clatter of kids playing I'd grab my sword and be out the door in a wizz only last year actually and now that I'm 24 i'm grumpy and old and hate cartoons!

When I was 25 and at a cousins wedding. Several younger cousins came dressed up, cocktail dresses clevage out in some cases. Never seen em like that before. I said to myself ' I BABYsat them! Jeez I'm getting older'

Raze_them_all

When I started to only go to pubs where me and my friends can go to sit around and talk while not trying to get laid!

Theres quite a difference between feeling old and realising you're just getting older

admiralofthefleet

your only as old as the woman you feel blah blah blah

OutlawPete

Well, I was at the Duff McKagan gig tonight and so I'm not going down without a fight. A girl even made my night whend me she thought I was 28 or 29 and I know what you're all thinking, that she was just saying that to get me into bed, but I'm telling you she fecking meant it. Course I'm typing this and she is most likely sucking off the bassist of Loaded in the Gresham right now, but I'm trying damn it, I'm still trying.

Stonking evil hangovers that need to be planned for days in advance.

When I started referring to teenagers as children.... They are you know....

Pretty_Pistol

Knew I was getting older when I would watch The Frontline instead of whatever American programme would be on Network 2... or is it RTE 2.

Listen to NewsTalk instead of the obnoxious young radio stations.

Tell the truth, did he??

Dudess

Only getting that older feeling since aged 31 or 32 - thank god. Would hate to have felt the need to inflict auldness on myself in my early/mid 20s. That must be crap.

blackworld

I have felt it when my friends told my that I look older with my age. .
I don't know if it's a joke or not, but it kinda hurt me though.

I'm going to let you in on a secret.... everyone gets older looking..

I think, this is my theory but the more you struggle the more it hurts

kraggy

Couple of years ago I finally came to the conclusion that I can't drink if I have work the next morning.

In my 20's I could do it no problem but not now. I think I'd have a breakdown.

Also, can't stand the madness of SOME people in their teens/early twenties. Between ridiculous American-ised accents, ****e taste in music, lack of respect for others, I find myself shaking my head at them every now and again.

Im Young. and i never want to leave

When I was 25 and filling out an application for something...can't remember (is this a sign of old age?), and I had to tick a box for my age category. The first box was 17-24, the second was 25-32 and so on and I ticked the second box. All I could think of was the older end of the spectrum, "****......I'm in a CATEGORY WITH 32!"

Now I'm heading for the 33-40 category

You're flucked altogether when you tick over 40 :mad:
