At what moment did you feel old?

pappyodaniel

Today I gave out to a teenage girl for spitting on the street. I told her it was a scummy thing to do and she should stop doing it. She correctly told me to fuck off and mind my own business.
That made me feel old.

I don't feel old, it's all in the mind

Where To

Last weekend when on holidays I walked past a strip club because the music was too loud. :mad:

In before some 25 year old says, "Now when I stand up I make a grunting noise omg I'm ancient!"!!!

Now when I stand up I make a grunting noise, omg I'm ancient!

When I read this thread and could remember the 100 times its been done before.

I believe a stick for stirring paint and/or keeping an old pair of shoes for gardening are the correct old stage of life.

I was playing minecraft and this guy started helping me out and talking to me. Thats grand and all but this lad seemed a little bit simpler than most people. Turns out he was 8, or so he says.

Im only 20 but that made me feel old

When I had to tick the 25 to 34 age bracket check box instead of the 18 to 24 one on forms...

When my cell replacement and regeneration became progressively unreliable over time, leaving my immune system weaker and more likely for mutated cancerous cells to develop and lead to an increasing level of decrepitude we call old age

Yea, I felt a little sad when I bought the first toaster with the Mrs. Such a grown up thing to do.

and texted my friend about the hot looking blondes in the front row.......

.You know you're old when the Late Late audience looks young and sexy:eek:

(even watching it in the first place is for the crinkleys!)

The first time I was referred to as Madam rather than Miss.

When some lad said to his little brother sitting in front of me at a match to stop waving his flag because "that man can't see"

now, as it took me till post 6 to notice it was old not odd.

Ted_YNWA

was in Lidl last year & a woman in her mid 40's front of me was getting a few bottles of wine & asked for ID ......

I was getting a few cans & ya think the teller would ask someone 26 for ID

When you realise that half your age + 7 means you can shag a 24 year old

When there's a great stretch in the evenings and there's grand drying out.

I've a weird thing where I can remember dates and stuff very well, but ask me what happened at the weekend and I won't remember. So anyhoo, this year is a big one for me in that it makes me feel very old... it's ten years since I started secondary school, ten years since my first kiss, ten years since I heard the first album I ever really loved...

Also- "I used to be with it. Then they changed what 'it' was. Now what is 'it' seems new and scary to me... it'll happen to you!" That came into my head when I first heard skrillex. just didn't see the appeal at all, and realised what I think of as ''teenage music'' is actually old now...

And nothing ages you like having to do the food shopping for yourself- "But it's half the price in Lidl!", "Ya can't beat Tesco's for bargains!" are sentences the young, trendy me would never dream of saying. But that me is dead now. :P

BUBBLE WRAP

This morning When, mammy told me to put my own marshmallow in my hot cocoa. She done it for me the past 14 years. But it really brought a tear to my eye, as my cocoa just isnt the same anymore.

When I read something like this ^ and think 34 is so young !

Gluteus maximus

Was in a meeting with a guy who looked 60 - I, the smartarse, said, in deference to his age and erudition .............

"Well, you probably have a few years on me, and you'll have seen this before"

Turns out we are the same age, 36.

Mother of God. Do people look at me and think the same???!?

admiralofthefleet

i saw a fit girl in the pub a few weeks ago wearing a greyhound skirt. instead of salivating i thought to myself 'jaysus, she'll be cold going home'.

Eathrin

A guy said to his kid today as I was walking by; "watch out for the man there"
Since when did I become "The man"?

I know I'm old.

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

Ms.M

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

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

orchidsrpretty

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.

Orim

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.

mikemac1

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

some random drunk

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

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

Pinturicchio

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

When footballers started being younger than me.

McChubbin

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!

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

NovabooM

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

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......
