How I know I'm getting old (Thread)
 

I just thought this could be a good place to share stories of getting older and the first time you realized it.

I'm not that old, but I was telling a story to a younger group of kids recently and one of them interrupted to ask "What is a discman?"

Buuuuuuuuuurn.

If this is lame delete it.

My hair fell out.

Im only 21 but I felt old knowing I waited longer to see toy story 3 than most of the people seeing it have been alive

Ha ha ha, hell yeah, I love toy story!

It's all relative I guess but when you keep watching movies that go back in time and you actually recognize everything it really starts to sink in - I watched Hot Tub Time Machine recently and that predates the Discman (but at least I don't look as bad as Chevy Chase) - I still have a hand-held tape player around here somewhere. In a few more years, there won't be anymore hard media players around so start collecting if you are into that type of thing. :)

...When a 21 year-old thinks he feels old.
< been working at his job longer than that.

It's weird for me personally. I don't really feel that old, but when I look at someone that is my age and say, "man they look old" and I realize we're the same age is weird.

Also, when you're 82 year-old mother points out the fact that you have a lot of gray hair in your goatee. :mad:

I was at work the other day and was discussing some show or concept or something and we had to tell the youngest one in the group it was before her time.

I also consider anyone born in the 80's or 90's a kid.

...I'm 61, and actually own a Z...Is that lame OR WHAT???

clothes and music:

When I see "younger" (relative) people and realize that I think their clothes are pretty stupid….. I've drifted out of "young" fashion even though hard edge music tastes are the same or mine are harder edged.

what about dancing styles > Older people probably feel like this :ughdance:

My dance style...

I just felt old for knowing that reference.

Not really seeing that I just met a bunch of older guys that still drive their Z's.

starting to go bald at 26 and all my skateboarding years (age 11-22ish) are really haunting me bodyache-wise

When those babies in the tv show "full house" became national sex symbols.

When your childhood Tv and movie stars start dying.
