How do you know you're getting old?

[golden_buns]

1. You feel flattered when people think you're 22

2. A big smile comes out of your face when they ask you for ID when you're trying to get into a club or buy cigarrettes

3. Birthdays are depressing

Dude, you aren't that old!=)

I'm growing older, but I don't plan on growing up.

:frown:Cheer up, man. You'll always be younger than me! If you think you're old, imagine how I must feel.=)

[deez nuts]

look at it this way:

if you're in your mid 20's and you're dating that 18 year old chick, it's kinda iffy in the eyes of others and you might care what they think about your relationship.

when you're in your 30's or older and you're dating that 18 year old chick, you won't give a fuck what others might think cuz you got yourself a trophy.

Hey! Why are you even complaining? As long as you get to call me noona then do you really have a problem? You're still in that mid-twenties range... And at least people don't see you as an old maid!

~when all the IT stars in the media are
younger than you are.
~when you no longer care to have birthday
celebrations
~when you stop keeping track of your age.

yup. i remember when i used to drool over stars when i was 12 and wish i was old enough that they'd wanna date me? hehehe. now i'm too old for them. and uhm, of course non-famous and non-glamourous. almost forgot about that.

and:
i'm finally starting to care about wrinkles.
i'm starting to listen to classic rock, mellow jazz, and classick r&b radio stations, when i used to be a diehard modern rock fan.

There comes a time when the current Playboy centerfold is younger than you.
Then there's the time when she's young enough to be your daughter.

When the oldies station starts playing stuff from your childhood.
And soon after, pop music starts sounding weird.
Later on, you tell the kids to turn the racket down.
And one day, you start having trouble hearing music at all.

You don't feel the need to get that new gadget.
A few years later, you finally get it because everyone else has one.
Then you can't figure out how to set the clock on it.

There's a compulsion to visit the farmer's market.
One day, you drive into it.

"When you stop keeping track of your age". That's a funny one!

Man according to this thread, I am almost dead!

[Arex]

Last night I pulled out three gray hairs. And I think there's another one further back on my head that I can't quite grab. Damn! You know you're getting old when you stop trying to pluck those gray intruders.

You also know you're getting old when your favorite videogames are the ones you played on systems that came out before the current crop of gamers were even born.

How do you know you're getting old? pot belly.

[Hiroshi2]

^ Please. I've seen 7 year old kids with pot bellies.



When the folks in your CD collection are artists that hadn't put out a song in at least 10, if not 20, years...................yeah, you old.


Hell, maybe you don't have a CD collection. Tapes and shit. If you got Off the Wall on a little casette and be playing it in your car (volume turned down so low people outside can't even hear it) then yeah you're probably old.

[s1eve]

^okay, pot belly was a little weak.

* when your friends are married and you don't hear from them anymore

* when your friends are popping babies and you don't hear from them anymore

That's a sign you're getting old.

i agree! it pains me.

from a night out like that. or maybe more.

Did people think you were so young when you were doing your previous job where you had to dress up ? Maybe because you are in your "IT" job where you can dress casually people look at you as being younger ?

Yeah, when I had to wear suits I got treated differently, but now that I wear sneakers and jeans to go to work, people treat me like a college kid, which I like

Ewwww! That's just wrong... :tongue:
that's cool, I don't mind

when you see white hair on your pubes.

[kimpossible]

I guess getting old means many things to many people but for me it's like molting - outgrowing the role of child. So far, I'm liking it. I'm never going to be a sexy, young thing again if I ever was in the first place but now I feel more like a woman and more at ease at being a woman. If I don't croak too early and make it to little old ladyhood, I'll enjoy that too.

[nonamerasian]

You're old when a breakfast of candy and soda upsets your stomach.

When you turn off young peoples' music.

When find yourself referring to fellow adults (albeit younger) as young people.

When the plant mortality rate in your home decreases drastically.

When you begin to look at your parents as smart people.

[Fireblade]

When you begin to look at your parents as smart people.

Very true.

When the ppl at the buffet table finally give you the senior discount.
