2. When I looked at a major appliance and went "Oooo....."
I've been doing that as long as I can remember...

Martha Stewart is one of my heroes! >.<

I'm not actually that old but I've had that weird "geez I'm ancient" feeling when I realised I was beyond the age I could pick up a sport and still - if I worked for it - reach pro level. Oh, and when I noticed some of the younger sportsmen and women are younger than me.

Lawn seats at concerts is for cool people of all ages. Standing up and jumping up and down is for pillocks.

But I cannot refute the part about apliances. ^^
Yeah, just not going to sit on the ground for three hours. If I don't get at least a bench, I ain't goin'.

Oh, and also, when parking availability became a concern. That's a sign of adulthood, right there.

Ain't that the truth, I don't go anywhere anymore without knowing exactly how I can get home. My activities are dictated by how much I plan on drinking and the proximity to a transit station.

The sad thing is, I know realize how hard it is to go out drinking/partying anymore, especially when I have to clean my house the next day and do laundry so I have clothes during the week.

I never liked concerts. Two of the four times I've gone to one, I wound up with bird nastiness on me. ;-;

And you know you're old when you have someone called, "The Nastalgia Critic" reciting your childhood, and some things you never knew.

Also, you know you're old when you try to argue that SMBS things are a little too much for a site claiming to be PG-13.

When everyone started calling me sir when I go to shops.

When I started getting hang overs.

When I started to go to bed at a reasonable time.

At the minute I need a new phone and a new vacum cleaner, and some how the vacuum cleaner is in the lead.

However I did a lifetime of drink and drugs between the ages of 14 and 19 so Im happy with a simple life right now

Sulla pitied his advancing years by the fact that all his enemies gradually became younger. Same here, without all the enemies part of course.

When I turned 20, and having no real age goals anymore. What I mean is that when your 12 years old your looking forward to being a teenage.
When 15, in 1 more year you can get your liscence.
17; soon you can go to quebec and get smashed (legally, most people are I swear are 15 anyways) and vote and whatnot
18: one more year you can legally drink in Ontario
19..... well your pretty much out of goals other than turning 21 and doing a road trip of the US.

EDIT: also forgot to add, when everyone younger than you, simply annoys the hell out of you for the shear stupidity of their actions and ideas.

whenever someone reiterates that the first game they ever played was Sonic The Hedgehog or any game made after that.

When I asked for a Roomba last Christmas and was as happy as a child when I got it. And it's still awesome.

Also, living in the South where everyone calls you ma'am whether you're 18 or 70 doesn't help the feeling of being old.

I'll never be old or admit that I am. It's my worse fear. I'm 21 by the way and I'll stay youthful and live forever. :)
Ah, I remember those days...back then, this was all 1's and 0's...
