That Moment You Realised You're Old

It was 2 weeks ago. I was surfing a blog for custom content for The Sims 3, and someone had done a recolor of the vibrating heart bed. In the comments was tons of people complaining about how ugly it is, why would EA put such a bed in the game, and thank god they can recolor it now.
The vibrating heart bed was from the first Sims game. It was this bright red velvet blanket, cheesy sex motel type of bed with a giant vinyl heart headboard. It was the only bed Sims could have sex in. You paid 25 simoleons to make it vibrate, and then "played in bed", which entailed lumps moving around under the blanket while they laughed and made barking sounds. I laughed when I saw they had added it because of the memories/nostalgia of all the times I made my Aragorn sim buttsecks my Legolas sim back in the day, but none of the current fans know about it because they'd never played it, and I'm guessing it's because they were all too busy being 5 years old when the first Sims came out.
And that's when I really felt old.

I'd say it would be a toss up between having to explain Pogs to a neighbor's kid I was watching or hearing Boston's More than a Feeling on the oldies station when I was tuning my radio.
1. When I realized that I can't own all the Disney movies on VHS but will have to buy them all on DVD
2. I will never be able to see Nickelodeon studios (so much for getting slimed)
3. The cartoons that were on during my time will never never never been showed again.
4. When I tried to jump over a fence and really hurt myself and realized I can't do the stupid stunts I once did as a kid.

I did that the other day!usmarine4160 said:Oh I know I know! Oh god I'm oldRadoh said:I realised I had no new age to look forward to. I'm old enough to drink and that's the last thing of freedom I am afforded.
Also, when I realised that knowing the connection between these two objects is not common knowledge.
A few days ago I was comin home after buying Arkham City and some kids were pissing about in the street and the first thing that came to mind was "Back when I was that age, my mum woulda beat the crap outta me if i spent all day standing in the street screamin and fighting like these little shits" then it hit me, I'm 25 goin on 50!
First time was when a kid in Gamestop looked up from buying the newest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video game and said "You mean there were TMNT movies before this one, Dad?". The second time was when I realized I had to scroll down to reach my birth year now.
I think mine was staying up until 3 am one day, and trying to be up by 6:30 and just not being able to do it. I was like what the hell I used to do this all the time in highschool what do I feel like I'm on the brink of death? I ended up calling in sick and sleep until 4pm.
I did a 'how could you leave the house looking like such a slut' look at a group of tween girls a few years back. then a 'we were never this fucked up when I was 15'... I'm 29.
I have accepted myself and that I will be an old lady living with a menagerie of animals.

Here's my two moments:
1. When in the middle of playing CoD: Black Ops, someone asked me how I knew so much about the M72 LAW, and I said I'd trained with them...and then had to explain that I'm 40. The silence was deafening.
2. When I found myself sickened and outraged when I saw a nine-year old allowed to wear sweatpants with 'Juicy' across the seat...and my first thought was 'when did it become normal for parents to approve of strangers staring at their *child's ass*???'

When I started losing my hair I no longer could claim to be young. Granted I started losing my hair at the tender age of 22, which is not fun, so now 2 years later I look much older than 24. Not that looking older serves any real purpose now.
Also felt old when Groove Coverage did 21st Century Digital Girl, and some younger people said that Bad Religion's 21st Century Digital Boy was a copy. I didn't get angry, like I perhaps should of, just put it down to kids not knowing any better.

The first time I shouted at a bunch of young'ns for spray painting up my fence while riding on their scooters with their phones wearing designer jeans and faggy Right-Bracket-Left-Bracket Hurley T-shirts. It feels good to yell at the next generation .
The moment you know you're OLD is when you start keeping tissues in your sleeve or waistband.
EDIT: Well I think I was old well before my time because I remember hating the new flashy NESs with their graphics and their fun, Fuck this shit imma play Zork =D.
