You Know You're Getting Old When.....

When staff in bars / restaurants / shops etc. call you sir.
The 1st few times was weird, the next few were annoying (i'm not that old am i??), i've accepted it now that to anyone in their early 20's i am ancient.

You come to terms with the fact the only way you're ever going to be rich is if you win the Lotto.

say_who_now?

When you watch "Reeling in the years" and can remember things that made the news.

When you get a boner out of nowhere and think "meh, it'll go down now in a minute".

No-one calls me sir, except guards and travellers.

You hear a mother say to her child if their barging around "dont bump into the lady" in an overcrowded shop, and shes talking about you, im still not used to that! I still get asked for ID! :pac::o

When you hear yourself saying as your flicking through radio stations or music channels "Back in my day popular music was actually decent, most of todays stuff is hurting my head" and ive actually meant that!

When a fine day comes and you nearly get wet with excitement at getting clothes dry on the line.

I get excited about the bins going out. It's so renewing.

You see a young one working behind the till before 4pm and wonder if the schools are out or whether if you've lost the ability to discern 16 year olds from 20 year olds.

ShadowHearth

When your car insurance is actually reasonable...

Must try that one- "I thought she was 20 your honor!" :pac:

On her, your honor, you're on her... ohh I crack myself up! Time for my afternoon pills :pac:

I don't think that applies to anyone posting in here.

JohnMarston

when it takes you more than 45 seconds to take a slash

and when your nose hair growth becomes a cause for concern

LordSutch

When your memory starts getting a bit iffy, when you make involuntary noises as you bend down, aches and pains that were never there before, squinting to read small print, and as others have already said 'when your car insurance premium is much more reasonable . . .

Could be worse, my mam regularly calls me and my sister by the dogs name, kind of shows where we rank in the scheme of things

....you remember watching This on afternoon TV. Interrupted by ads like these

Culleeo

When you think it's acceptable to wear Asics runners with jeans.

When you watch MILF porn and realise the MILFs are the same age as you.

shopaholic01

When asked your age you actually have to think about it and try to work it out from your year of birth - if you remember it.

Evidently, the tipping point is when a genre of music confuses, scares and infuriates you.

There were plenty of genre's that confused, scared and infuriated me a few years back. I'm not even out of my 'teens yet.

I'm 19, took me the bones of 10 seconds to figure it out yesterday.

BTW, all the "dubstep" that's been referenced to so far is... well... ****e (coming from a person who likes dubstep/house/DnB etc).

I'm sure if I took half the dubstep I listened to and played it on a piano you'd all love it! :pac:
