How do you know you are getting old

Recommended Posts

More on the lighter side of things..

 

Whats the things that you notice as you get older that all just remind you how old you are.. Heres some things I think..

 

 

When doctors, police, teachers and all the people you thought should be old and experienced are younger than you are.

 

When your friend talks to you about an exciting piece of kitchenware they just purchased.

 

Hair... You loose it where you want it and gain it where you dont.. Lol.. whats the deal with ear hair?? :) Also each time I get a hair cut (probably olny every six months or so) and the hairdresser shows me the back of my head (which I dont usually see) and I see the bald patch growing bigger and make a joke when he asks me if im happy with the cut and I say, well maybe if you could do something about that patch..

 

When you notice how everthing you eat effects you differently. I used to never eat much veg and could eat what I wanted without thinking about it, but now if I dont have some kind of green food with my meal, lets say I feel it the next day :P

 

When all the up and coming movie and music stars all look the same to you.. I now see pictures on the net talking about this or that new star and I can bearly tell them apart.

 

When you start talking about how it was when you were young lol ( I seem to do this more frequently)

 

When you receive a job CV for someone born in 1991 or later.. I always think shouldnt they still be at school (cant get used to that one).

 

When coffee becomes your friend... :)

Young people start calling you "Young Man".....Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

 

They mean no harm but I hate it - so disrespectful without them realising. But such is the price of becoming old.

When your age is over 35?

 

When your teenage nephew wares clothes so odd it seems comical.

 

When you regularly agree with your father's politics.

 

When there is no music in the charts, just noise.

When you pick up the Twin Reverb like you have many times before, pull all the rib muscles on the right side of your chest and take 3 months to get over it. Yes that hurt.

The worst hasn't happened yet - when you look in the mirror and see your Dad!

When you finish brushing your teeth, look up at the mirror and notice your face is still looking down at the sink.

 

When you know the difference between your and you're. Sorry Rabs, only joking!

When you have to wear cheater glasses every single time you want to read something (unless already magnified).

When you go to a restaurant and ask the waiter if he thinks guitar playing in the Zepplin song on the speaker system is good and he says" I'm sorry sir, I'm not familiar with Led Zepplin". (this happened a week ago and the waiter was a surfer dude. I felt really old then).

When it takes twice as long to pee.

When you start agreeing with your parents.

When you watch a porn film and think 'that bed looks comfy'!

When the wrinkles on your tinkler match the wrinkles 'round your eyes.

 

 

Need I go on. It's 9.30. Way past my bedtime!

I've been going to the Long Beach Grand Prix forever, and I swear for at least the last 10 years, I've had no idea who the "celebrities" are in the Celebrity Race.

 

Also, you know you're getting old when you're getting ready for bed and your kids are getting ready to go out for the night

 

And then there's this: [scared]

You guys are describing me pretty well. The one about looking in the mirror and seeing your father's face looking back really happened to me. I actually did a double-take.

 

I've gotten used to being called Mister, but I don't think I'll ever get used to people in their 20's & 30's addressing me as "sir" in social situations.

 

One thing that got me one time was being in an elevator and realizing the song playing on the MUZAK was in my record collection.

When you turn 66 and still haven't decided what you want to be when you grow up.

 

When you can't remember much of what you did before you retired....and don't care.

 

When you're still trying to figure out some of Eric Clapton's leads that you couldn't figure out when he was in Cream.

 

When your band leaves all of their equipment set up in the basement so they can play whenever they want to without having to carry all of that stuff around.

 

When you don't look at a clock all day and are cool with that.
