Anyone remember their first day as an old person?

I've been buying householdy stuff for years but it really hit me in the White Goods section of PowerCity a few years ago when me and my partner were moving into our house and found ourselves discussing the merits of certain washing machines, vacuums,fridges etc.

Also, buying curtains and blinds is still something I feel too "young" for so I make my partner do that. I nearly cried from boredom the first time we went curtain shopping.

Yesterday. I have started going out with a guy 4 years younger than me and he wanted us to go to a studenty type bar (my student days or long gone). I stood in front of the mirror for neigh'on 20 minutes rooting through my hair and plucking any random grey hairs I found hidden beneath.

When I was in a niteclub one night and said to my friend "Fcuking hell it's all kids in here." It wasn't, we were just too damn old to be there.

Now now, You very well may have been to old to be there, Buts it very likely it was mostly kids there

Deffo when I was at the cinema and there was a group of really tipsy teenagers,and I found myself frowning ,totally forgetting my own youth.Another one was walking down the street looking hot as I thought and two youngfellas called me ' an old doll'.I told myself all women in cork fall under that category though.

I realised I had lost my youth the first time (on my birthday!) I pulled my back mid-'lashing-it-into-her'

My name's Ditch ~ and I'm old .....

I know this because, a couple of years ago now, I made the conscious decision that I would go into town and buy myself a pair of slippers! :eek:

No shit! I did too. I bought them and was really happy to have them. I never even felt the slightest twinge of embarrassment about going into the shop and buying them.

Now my transformation is complete. I wander about in my slippers. Wondering what the fuck I've come into the kitchen for. Sharting and accepting even that as part of how life is these days

Fucking hell; What has become of me?

The day I started listening to talk radio that didn't involve the carcrash that is the adrian kennedy show

When I was at an older cousins wedding and saw all the younger cousins I'd babysat, changed nappies for and watched go through intense barney - spiderman - telletubbies and misc. Cartoon obsessions. They were dressed to the nines in high heels, make up, short dresses/suits and one even brought a fella. Felt positively ancient and I was 24 or so.

Walking out of the bank with a credit card with my name on it, linked to my current account, with the responsibility for not going crazy with it completely my own.

Aged 18.
Just after coming home to my own flat from the hospital with this tiny screaming thing that I was solely responsible for feeding and keeping alive.
Sh1t scary!

Getting ripped off on your second divorce will do the trick. And consoling yourself that "life begins at 49". It does, I think, hope, pray......

The day i was arrested for trying to force a 15 year girl into my car.

When I realised that I'd much rather sit down in a nice,quiet pub and have my pints of Guinness brought over to me just by nodding at the barman then be in some loud nightclub filled with eejits.

when a guy came into work to explain my pension to me , and he explained i have one

I could, and probably will (you know how us old people like to go on), quote many examples, but I think the first was when I became "the man". I was only 19 or so at the time, minding my own business waiting for a bus, when some woman threatened her bratty youngfella with the classic "Behave yourself now or I'll call the man over". :rolleyes:

The most recent, apart from feeling like death the other day after having 8 pints, 4 and a half hours sleep and having to get up for work, happened on a soccer pitch. I realised that the oppositions centre forward was younger than the jersey I was wearing.....

Anyone remember their first day as an old person?
