You know you're getting old when... (1 Viewer)

You know you're getting old when...you decide you'll have baby back ribs and grilled sausage for a late, midnight dinner, and "just in case" you decide to put two tums on the side of your plate. :lmao:

What are your "You know you're getting old when..."

 
You know you are getting old when professional athletes who younger than you are considered over the hill.

 
I had a great one yesterday. My one-year-old was watching The Little Mermaid, which I still thought of as a recent Disney movie. I was just entering college when it came out and it opened the door to the new Disney animated movies and it just didn't seem that long ago. But I realized it's been about 20 years. So, to my kid, The Little Mermaid will be about as old as Cinderella was when I was born. Cinderella was made in 1950.

That one threw me.

 
when you see a TV commercial for a ZAMFIR - master of the pan pipes compendium/retrospective, & you think to yourself - gotta have that...

 
You find yourself watching over and over again a half-hour Time/Life infomercial for a '70s soft rock album package - starring Air Supply - and not wanting to change the channel.

When loud music annoys you....when you are in bed sleeping and it is late...really late.....like 9:30 PM.
When a midnight dinner isn't even an option since you've been asleep for 2 hours....even on a weekend.
 
When you can't get out of the batter's box in your softball league without straining a hip.I'm only 32 damnit! :bye:
:wall: 32 was the last year I played also.When your running the bases and you become the old guy who stumbles and waves your arms wildley all while looking like your falling forward. I did that once and said enough.

When a mom and daughter are walking down the hall here at the university on a college visit ...and I find myself checking out the mom.

Or - when I consider Friday nights a good night to get my dress shirts ironed for the week ahead.

 
When you see the covers of most music magazines and you realize your favorite musician's son just came out with an album.

 
When you think that checking out college girls will lead to serious depression.

Or, when you feel that pang of awkwardness when you see that this month's Playboy Playmate was born in 1987.

:lmao: I was going to say: When you're a College Prof, and you start looking forward to Parent's weekend to see the Moms. :X
 
There are two things that have made me "feel old."

1. When I was 26, I realized that I could no longer go to Padre Spring Break during Texas week. At that point, you're not on Spring Break....you are an older guy taking vacation. It's sad, really.

2. I can now watch the Bachelor and, even with all the makeup and evening gowns, I can still tell that I'm older then the participants on looks alone.

 
When the local "oldies" station starts playing music you can sing along to...because you owned the album...and it was played at your high school dances...and was considered "new" then. :yes:

When you wake up and your shoulder is sore...and your realize it's from playing catch with your 11 year old...for 15 minutes...3 days ago.

 
When you pick a fight with a Dunkin Donuts guy over $.04

:mellow:

Well - okay, start an argument/disagree with any salesperon based on "principals" or some perceived wrong they have done you..or simply because their prices are too high

Gotta agree with the athletes younger than you considered over the hill, watching sons of athletes you watched growing up and remembering in detail the college careers of athletes that have gone pro, had long careers and been retired for quite some time.

When you see kids hanging out somewhere and want to yell at them to get jobs.

When you are talking to a girl who has never heard of a song that was very popular when you were in high school or college. :mellow:

We had gone back to college for an alumni reunion and were picking up chicks at the bar. Van Halen's "Jump" comes on, and this friend of mine tries to impress this girl by saying "I saw them do this in concert in '84." Her reply was, "I wasn't born yet."
 
when you go to Hooters, and you see the sign that says "We even card George Burns", and they don't card you.

 
Walking somewhere(most likely the mall) in winter with a nice warm coat on and seeing young adults walking outside with shorts and no jacket thinking "stupid kids".

 
When a mom and daughter are walking down the hall here at the university on a college visit ...and I find myself checking out the mom.
The mall confuses my #### like nothing in the history of mankind. 20 year-old daughter. 38 year-old mom. 20 year-old daughter. 38 year-old mom. I'm closer in age to the mom. I'm not capable of making the right judgment call here.
