"I'm too old for this sh" -- What made you really feel that?

Been feeling that with a few things recently.. Playing games? Fine. Managing gaming communities? Who are these <snip>.

Bit of a pity to lose things you were once into. Still have a few offline hobbies in the bank so not too worried.

Going on the beer, two nights in a row. Its like a manifesto to kill yourself.

Outdoor fun & games. Waistband too offensive and too many cameras about.

The time when I was on the toilet and the toilet had a bomb on it and my partner turned up and threw me from the toilet into the the bath before the bomb blew up and and and.

I'm too old for this getting old ****.

Beanntraigheach

I was about 2. Defecating on myself, as was my custom, when suddenly it dawned on me that it was time to heed my parents' advice and make use of the plastic potty they'd provided to me.

I was literally "too old for this shít".

Nightclubs. Paying through the snot for the privilege of getting in.
Then paying through the snot to hang a jacket.
Then paying through the snot for shyte drinks.
Shyte music.
Shyte night.
And never getting the shift!

Staff parties/work nights out.

I just want to go home and sit in my jammies, not listen to a bunch of gee-eyed co-workers talk ****e.

Whip rounds in work for little Johnnys sponsered trip to France.

The saying "it's for a good cause"

The saying "going forward"

Saying "just saying"

Sayings.

Don't really look at situations I no longer want to be about as "I'm getting too old for this $hit"
I prefer use this line in those type situations

probably the one thing that redeems me feeling like I'm old is a 2 dayer weekend..rare event now

Looking at people that you used to babysit, forging good careers and undoubtedly earning more than I do now, getting married, starting their own families - basically passing ahead of me in life.

Urgh, I spend 40 hours a week with these people. Now I have to spend my free time too?

I slept in a tent last weekend. I'm far far too old for this sh*t

Seriously though, why didn't they mention this? They never said it would be this bad.

The way things are today I'm happy to say I'm too old for this ****

Now if it was 1967 at the age I am now it would be a very different story

For the love of Jesus young people, heed my advice. Have your kids when you are in your 20s. That way you will have more energy for them and at least by the time they are reared you won't be the wrong side of 55 hoping you make it to retirement!!

You're as old as your hair line

I got my first Apple device recently.

It's only got a single core processor but I'm well impressed.

I'm 45 chasing a 2 year old wannabe fireman who's getting his climbing experience in early. He'll be sitting on my chest at 7.00 in the morning holding my ears riding his motorbike.
Might be basketball after breakfast I'll be the one lifting him for the dunk.

You're only 42 jaysus, in your 20s there's too much selfish shìt to do.

A cousin's 21st birthday party a couple of weeks back.

I'm only in my 30s but I felt about 70, thinking young ones need to wear more clothes and watch their drink when 10 years ago I was the exact same.

I'm now a hypocritical ould wan!

Had a work night out at the dogs tonight. One of the lads got locked and ran around the track....

Been working with a couple of 25 year olds for the last 5 weeks on a factory line. The amount they cram into their weekends while I waste away on the couch from exhaustion makes me realise I am too old for this ****. I'm 36. I like sleep and no young 'un is gonna tell me thats a waste of time!!

Running up the stairs.

I mean having a real go at it.

In my 20s/30s & most of my 40s I'd no problem about running up stairs 2 at a time.

Now I walk up the stairs 2 at a time.

I know more theme tunes to kids TV shows than I do about the charts. Bring back Top 30 hits.

Last year I had the ultimate displeasure of seeing my first grey hairs. I'm female so feck that. Now I'm seeing grey hairs on my arms and eyebrows. I'm either colouring them or waxing them now.

I was going to reply to this till I saw that I posted it..... Apparently I'm not too old to start threads drunk.

Stairs? I insisted on NO STAIRS after the last three rentals.
A and E once; lost a big toe nail and a strained back on the last one..

Arrived at a charity shop new to me last week to find steep stairs. A lady was helping an older one who had a stick down, then she helped me, with a stick, up.

Disgree is it s etc; just a part of the pattern of life..
