What made you say "fuck, I'm old" today?

[Guffawlin]

Saw a kid who was born after I started High School who has a full damn job already.

 

[Blackbird93]

Most of the first songs I heard on the radio as a kid are approaching the same age that Beatles and Rolling Stones songs were at that age.

My left leg is hurting from not being propped up throughout the day.

(History of severe deep vein thrombosis.)

Thank you, I appreciate it.

I made a joke that referenced The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein, and no one knew what I was talking about.

I literally started feeling a little out of breath...while brushing my teeth!

If you're not joking I would call your doctor. That's not normal

I remember when the McDonald's sign boasted 'Millions' sold.

Watching a TikTok about menopause symptoms and recognizing them in me.

In general. Every time I see an actor or actress I grew up with...they look old. Also, seeing these bands that should retire but don't; makes me feel old. I just watched a podcast with Jeff Foxworthy. It was 25 years ago when Blue Collar Comedy Tour came out...what? Huh.

A specific one. At work about ten years ago we were talking about records. I talked about over 200 45 records I owned being wrecked in basement flood. A college aged woman who was listening goes, "What's a 45?" I felt old trying to explain it.

Thinking back to the early 70s, recorded Bob Dylan and the Band doing their Before The Flood album live on my 8 track player. 8 track player, What?

 

[Grumpy_OG]

Squatting down and hearing 50 shades of popping and cracking

 

[DinglyDangly]

Bending down to pick a bottle cap off the floor, took ages to stand, my knees just locked.

 

[NCostello]

Grabbed some loose change. Saw a really old coin. Realized that I'm older than that coin.

 

[Xerxes82]

The kids at work having no idea who Johnny 5 was.

Short Circuit was a fucking classic, man.

Johnny 5 is alive!

 

[Loyalish1245]

Had to have a youth explain 6,7 to me. And then explain to me why saying that it was “Low-Key Stupid” was cringe. Jeez im old at 45.

 

[TiedbyChris]

Making a right drama out of answering a mobile phone call with EarPods

Ah, DVTs, been there done that. Wearing compression socks is another sign of being old LOL

And PEs (Pulmonary Embolism) - I'm a "Zipper Warrior". I really should get a tattoo down my chest of a zipper or a bad-ass sword like Brock Lesnar

 

[latecomer91364]

I'm so old that I remember swearing off TV medical shows forever (have stayed true to it) when I realized I had the same symptoms as every 'guest star' on Marcus Welby: MD.

 

[Beholders_Eye]

Looking at erotic pictures today, and kept wondering: Who held the camera?

(Instead of perving over the picture.)

 

[MiloMcLeod]

When someone at work did something well I said “That’ll do, pig, that’ll do” and it almost became an HR matter.

A pm. I replied to a pm about roleplayng and I said I wasn't into it anymore as there is too much bs involved. The response was you are full of bs. Which indicates he is new to Lit or he's a lot younger.
