I know I'm old.

I see posts like this and ask the poster to think before they type.

The year I went in to my new Leaving Cert class and said "ten years ago I was in your shoes..." It just hit me. And developing a complete intolerance for nightclubs; how could I ever listen to that ****e music weekend after weekend?

Lando Griffin · 18-07-2012 09:30PM

Guns n Roses was the band everyone was crazy about back in my day; could air guitar all their songs: that was new music back then the type upstarts and devil worshipers listened to. See teenagers with GNR tee shirts on but too old to run over slide on my knees and yell Take Me down to the paradise city... Would ruin the suit trousers

When someone asked me one day if I wanted something from the shop and I asked for a fat frog and they thought I meant the drink.
Also yesterday my bfs niece picked up a vhs tape and asked me what it was.

Felt old when they changed what *it* was. Now what I'm with isn't *it*, and what's *it* seems weird and scary to me.

Also in 2006 or so when I realised that Independance Day was released in 1996 and I remembered everything the build up to that film. The posters, the toys, everything.

When everyone is talking about Swedish House Mafia and you never heard of them before

And over in Film forum it was mentioned that Se7en came out 17 years ago. Damn, I remember going to the cinema for that

When I got my first office job after working previously in shops and suddenly I changed from working with young lads my own age to working with "proper adults" who wore suits and talked about their mortgages.

electrobanana · 18-07-2012 09:41PM

When MTV stopped showing music videos...oh those were the days. ahh

Pinturicchio · 18-07-2012 09:41PM

The first time a parent talking to their child called me "the man".

When footballers started being younger than me.

When you can live without sex, but not without glasses cos your arms are now too short to read the paper

Lawrence1895 · 18-07-2012 09:42PM

Every time, I walk up a hill or cycle up a hill

celtictiger32 · 18-07-2012 09:45PM

when the use of condoms is only to stop me pissing on my slippers

McChubbin · 18-07-2012 09:46PM

Went to Lidls and tried to buy a 4 pack of Captain Morgans and Coke. Got asked for ID. I'm 24, so prehaps I should take that as a compliment.

Also, +1 on not getting the music of today. I generally listen to tracks from the 90's and early 2000s. Makes me feel old to think that I was 7 when the first Toy Story came out, 11 when the second came out and 21 when the 3rd one hit the cinemas.
I really feel my age when I go to screenings of animated movies such as Ice Age or Despicable Me. Doesn't put me off, though. I've no shame in admitting that I will be off to the first screening of Brave!

i had to ask someone what shm meant, and like you when i heard who they were i realised i had never heard about them before

When I look at something I really want to do.and think that'll hurt my knees/back

Everything hurts, and what doesn't hurt doesn't work.

NovabooM · 18-07-2012 09:55PM

When a little kid addressed me as 'Mrs NovabooM', it still hurts typing it out. Damn that lil kid with his manners. Aged like 25 years with two words :-(

Gluteus maximus · 18-07-2012 10:34PM

SHM?
Snap.

Swedish House Mafia - last weekend was the first time I'd heard of them, and only then because they got a mention on Marion Finucane on Sunday morning. Jaysis......

When I first got two-day hangovers.

Wait til you start getting hangovers when you haven't even been drinking

Gluteus maximus · 18-07-2012 10:49PM

Was looking at old photos at my parents's house last night - my siblings and I were kiddies AND MY PARENTS WERE THE SAME AGE AS I AM NOW

Do you see the time of the night :mad: Off to bed now young fella

As a wise old man once said to me "You're only as old as the women you feel"

mikemac1 · 18-07-2012 11:50PM

The mammy phones for a chat on Sunday night and you've already gone to bed

eaglebhoy · 18-07-2012 11:53PM

As per the SHM thing I had my realisation when I realised LMFAO now refers to a popular music act also and is not just a popular Internet abbreviation !

That and the hangover thing, in fact the hangover thing I think is the 1st great realisation cos it tends to happen in your late 20's/early 30's and it seems like it's all physically downhill from there once you notice your new multi-day hangovers ! :eek:

LH Pathe · 19-07-2012 12:06AM

When I put my back out. Really did feel like a case of help the aged, so look after it.
