The Last Time YOU were told "YOU'RE TOO OLD TO BE DOING THAT"

I was told by my mother I was too old to be playing with balsa airplanes.
I was too old to be playing witih my ZX Spectrum way back when according to my classmates in that secondary school.

What recollections do you have of being reprimanded in similar fashion for doing something that you were too old for?

I remember when we were living in France, I had been to EuroDisney once with family friends, and then when I went again with my own family I was concerned about my father (who hadn't been before) going on some of the rides. I advised him against going on Thunder Mountain (a relatively sedate roller coaster) because he was too old, but he ignored me. He was 37 at the time.

When I was in Dunne;s with a broken wrist in plaster, many years ago.... An old guy who I knew vaguely from I think Mass, asked me what happened, When I told him I was climbing over the woodpile he opined I was too old to be a lumberjack.. I was only 70 then!

Not quite being told 'you're too old to be doing that' by someone else but in a similar vein.

I was in the Foundry nightclub x number of years ago now. Chatting to a young wan and she said to me that "you used to go to school with my mammy". Some kick in the nuts. Realised there and then I was too old for nightclubs and haven't darkened the door of one since.

This story pops up regular on boards. Either you forget you've told it numerous times or I smell a rat

Yeah, I've probably told it before.

Being told by 2lazytogetup that I'm too old to be posting on boards.ie because I repeated the same story a few times.
