The Completely Un-Official - How to tell I am getting old - Thread

[Skybarney]

Well here I am feeling like a 48 year old kid yet some truths seem inescapable.  So I thought I would start this little thread so that we can all have a place to print what we are thinking.

I will go first,

How to tell you are getting old:

1. WTF is Instagram?
2. I don't recognize any of the bands on the Billboard Top 10 chart.
3. 24 year old girls start looking 16.

Well said Skybarney. But you forgot. (adjust for age) 50 year old women start to look good as well.

At 41 I have to count back to remember how old I am. I don't bounce back they way I used to do.

Blimey when I look in the mirror I see an olde fart that looks suspiciously like my grand father...

I've got a lot of grey hair for the tender age of 41 and more than once, by on of those little punk ass 16 year old kids checking you out at the store, I have been asked me if I'd like the senior discount.

It's also been ages since the last time I was carded.
