Hearing Eminem on the Larry Gogan golden hour (I know its gone now).

Getting refused entry to underage discos.

Fr_Dougal · 22-06-2019 2:22pm

Two day hangovers.

NSAman · 22-06-2019 2:23pm

Having to stay in bed all day Saturday cause you went out Friday night....and had two drinks.

We had some transition years in the office during the week for a bit of work experience. I had to give a run through of my career to date and told them I graduated college in 05.
One of them said to me: I was three years old then.
Fecking hell....

AllForIt · 22-06-2019 2:26pm

Thinking your niece that you only see occasionally is still a teenager as she looks so young- when she's actually 26.

Attempting to climb trees.

The guy who sits to my left in work wasn’t even born when I graduated from my degree course. And he isn’t an intern this year.

When you ask your wife does she want to go out to the pictures and you're delighted when she says no, let's watch one on TV instead

Boxing.Fan · 22-06-2019 2:30pm

Listening back to music from the 90s.

kg703 · 22-06-2019 2:39pm

Nightclubs/late night bars and I’m only in my thirties. You know there’s no turning back when you walk out saying the music is too loud

Strumms · 22-06-2019 2:58pm

As a 15 year old I was lucky enough to score match tickets to a few games in World Cup 94, including the famous Italy vs Ireland game. I found the photos the other night in a drawer and was just freaked out by how young we all looked. It didn’t seem THAT long ago but simple maths tells me it’s 25 years ago last week.

A third of a lifetime ago ! That’s a bit of a kick up the arse. It doesn’t seem that long ago.

FunLover18 · 22-06-2019 3:51pm

That 70s Show was first broadcast in 1999, 20 years after the year in which it was set (1979). We're now 20 years on from 1999.

dan1895 · 22-06-2019 4:18pm

I work with a lad who wasn't born last time Ireland played in a world cup. I watched the Spain match in a pub and went drinking for the day afterwards. I was older then than he is now.

stratowide · 22-06-2019 5:12pm

Lads signing their date of birth on the astro-league registration form at the start of season.
Loads of 1996 and 1997 dates there.

Jaysus lads I was married with kids before ye were even born.

I make a point of signing near the end of the form..:D

Darc19 · 22-06-2019 5:16pm

Being invited to the wedding of your best friend's daughter and remembering being at his wedding over 30 years ago.

tayto lover · 22-06-2019 5:25pm

Tying your shoelaces and thinking “is there anything else I have to do while I’m down here?”

Comhrá · 22-06-2019 5:32pm

Taking a load of my CDs into the charity shop.

honeybear · 22-06-2019 5:33pm

When someone refers to you as “Mam” (not in the mother sense!

olestoepoke · 22-06-2019 5:36pm

Hearing someone on the television refer to a Blankity Blank check book and pen.

A forgotten twin I’d say.

castletownman · 22-06-2019 5:49pm

When a sports star is regarded as a veteran, and you remember him/her making their debut.

Taking an active interest in the local death notices.

When you look forward to an early night.

I am guilty of all the above. And shouting at 'the damn kids of today'

Jamie2k9 · 22-06-2019 5:50pm

People born in the year 2000 and later.

Scrolling down to find the year I was born when doing an online application.

When a young lad got up and offered me his seat on the bus a few years ago.
He was lucky he didn’t get a thick ear.

22-06-2019 6:02pm

Fidget Spinners. wtf? Still on sale at my local shopping centre celebrating it's 50th anniversary this year.

Now, in my day the day Coca Cola and Fanta yoyos ruled. There was even a super version, see.

Ted_YNWA · 22-06-2019 6:02pm

Keeping things that will come in handy sometime.

Having no idea who any of the bands or artists are in the charts.

Irish Guitarist · 22-06-2019 6:02pm

The taoiseach being three years younger than me. I shouldn't be older than politicians.

Having nephews in their thirties that are going bald.

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5 · 22-06-2019 6:04pm

Woke up on Sunday and was enjoying laying in bed, then remembered a geranium that had been looking like it might flower and that I'd repotted something else and got all excited and jumped out of bed to go and look at them.

Getting excited about new socks.

Getting excited about having new cleaning products to use and how they might compare to the ones I've previously used.

Setting my alarm and seeing that I have more than 8.5 hours in which to sleep and my brain reacting like I've won the lotto.

Life's still very exciting, it just would have seemed boring to 18 year old me!

olestoepoke · 22-06-2019 6:05pm

When I see soccer stars that I'm the same age as like Roy Keane. I forget I'm as old as he is.

Ken. · 22-06-2019 6:06pm

A guy started last week in work. He's 2 years younger than my daughter.

Greyfox · 22-06-2019 6:08pm

Talking about great films and I mention Pulp fiction, Shawshank, Braveheart and Terminator 2 to the guy beside me and he says they were all made before I was born.. and hes earning the sames wages as me

The batman film with Michael Keaton is 30 years old this year.

olestoepoke · 22-06-2019 6:14pm

When my 17 year old nieces genuinely didn't know what a phonebox was. They are smart girls but I had to explain to them that there was a time when when I would tell my girlfriend that I would phone her at 8pm on Friday evening and I'd make my way to the end of the street to the nearest phonebox at 7.50. They were intrigued lol.

Ted_YNWA · 22-06-2019 6:15pm

I reckon I have clothes older than some of the kids in work.

22-06-2019 6:16pm

Shopping around for insurance prices, being responsible about getting car services done on time, buying household essentials in bulk, being in bed at a reasonable time on weeknights, spending weeks deliberating on the style of dinner service to buy, keeping spare bulbs in a special basket on the shelf, never forgetting to fill the car up on a Sunday for the week, checking my partner has taken his multivitamin because he usually forgets.

Being sensible makes me feel old.

Neames · 22-06-2019 6:17pm

My spotify stats...

I listen to dead people

tayto lover · 22-06-2019 6:51pm

People snigger when I take out my flask and sandwiches at half-time at GAA matches.

its_steve116 · 22-06-2019 6:54pm

The fact that the Inbetweeners has been out of production for nearly 9 years.

Sh!t that makes you feel old.
