What makes you feel old?

[mocruz1200]

When people ask why should you watch Episode 4 of Star wars before Episode 1

i would start snapping necks at this point

 

[setsunafseiei]

The appearance of grey hair at only 22!!!

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

When I complain about young people.

 

[Clemenstation]

Getting shot in the face on Xbox Live by kids who have enough leisure time that they are freakin' unstoppable. I used to be that kid.

 

[UpcountryGecko]

The first time I felt old was when I was watching a football match and realised that I was older then some of the players. Also watching music videos and reslising that they were younger then me when they made it.

My age.

i didnt go to my favorite club for about a year.. wasnt anyhting special.. but it was basicly a punk/alternative club....

i went back the other week and me and my mate where stunned at how much music we didnt know..

Having the flu makes you feel about 110 years old

 

[Mardy]

When people ask me what Futurama is.

 

[konkwastaken]

i work at Ikea and i am 16 years old...i always get parents pulling their kids out of the way of me saying "let the man get through" or something to the effect...and that's not a one off, it happens all the damn time.

 

[freakyHippo]

knowing that the first Matrix is 10 years old

That has made me feel very old.

Its also a sign your getting old when you can remember current football managers playing football. Steve Bruce, Mark Hughes, Zola, Paul Ince; i remember all of them plying their skills on the pitch rather than on the sidelines.

 

[PasDeChat]

When I think about becoming an aunt in the next few months.

 

[SimuLord]

When my shoulder swells up and hurts when it rains, when I hear songs I liked as a kid on classic rock stations, when my wife (who's nine years younger than me) doesn't understand references I make because they were before her time, and whenever I'm forced to use the phrase "back in the day" to explain really cool stuff I don't/can't do anymore.

 

[ThaBenMan]

When I think about how there are kids who have had DVDs and CDs their whole lives, and have probably never seen a video tape or audio cassette

Remember rewinding?

Yeah, it was such a pain in the ass. I brought a bunch of old tapes to sell at a music store near here (which was pretty much a waste of time, since I only got a quarter for each one), but they couldn't take the ones that weren't rewound, since I guess they can get damaged if you leave them that way. I told the guy "I don't think I even have a VCR to rewind them with" lol

 

[Ladie Au Pair]

The Spice Girl reunion tour... which was when I got to explain to my little sister that I used to listen to them all the time with my tape player and was super excited when I got the Spice World movie on VHS.

And yeah, I was totally into them when I was younger... I couldn't help it.

 

[kelnadine]

Getting called 'ma'am'. I just turned 20, and 'ma'am' makes me feel like an old lady. I have never in my life met a woman who didn't want to kill the person who called them that.

Stick with 'miss'. Even if the woman is 50.
