Though, I still find it hilarious to put things on my head to see if I can make them balance there, and then stare at myself in the mirror to see how I look with it on my head. My latest one was the cardboard packaging for a 4 pack of Smirnoff Ice bottles. I'm not quite sure if I feel old. I indulge my 'inner' child a fair bit. But then, I also have taken to getting grouchy if I don't get enough sleep (like...really grouchy shout at anyone who disturbs me grouchy) and I'd prefer to stay in and have a quiet night than go to a club and dance the night away.
I know I'm limiting my chances for sex with this, but I much prefer a quiet, or at least, quaint, pub atmosphere to that of a rave club. Am I 'old'? Maybe, but either way, you can take your revoltingly sticky floors, overpriced drinks, eardrum blowing 'music' and stale air and shove it up your arse. I'll have a pint of ale, barkeep.
When I saw that I was the only person in my peer group who texted out whole words.
I'm down with the kids, yo.

every time i go hill running with my cross country team. we always look at each other before we start and say: "we're getting too old for this"
When I found myself using the phrase "back in the day..." a lot more in conversation
When I get excited when I find some old movie or tv show I remember watching as a kid, on youtube
When I start thinking about how kids born recently will have had DVD's and the internet and all that for their whole lives

I started to feel old when I found myself watching the very first episode of pokemon. I could still remember how new and cool looking it was to me when I was still a kid in Elementry.
Now there's about ten seasons of this show playing on tv and online.
I'm in my twenties too. . .Christ.

1. Explaining to people the basic DOS commands
2. Getting "WTF" type replies when mentioning the early MMMO games (MUDs) were limitless with what you could do, but in Text format. Also having to differentiate between a MUD and a MOO
3. That there were originally 150 pokemon.
4. Remembering Lynx and GameGears (everyone I know in my street had either, and a gameboy. 2 years later nobody played either)
5. Remembering the Australian Invasion in 80s film....
6. That Cell Phones could be used to either call the cops only once before a recharge, or beat the muggers skull into the shape of a dented ping pong ball.
7. Remembering Gorbachev and his birthmark.
8. Being able to pick out when a film was made based solely on what the "Hacker" character did/said/dressed.
9. Remembering an Australian Prime Minister that wasn't John "Wanker" Howard.
I think thats all the signs that make me feel old.

Realizing I played pong when it was new, remembering the Apple launch in 1984, the first time I asked to check someone's ID and he was both legal to drink and was born in a year that I distinctly remembered. When I realized I had NO IDEA what kind of music people were listening to any more. Oh, but here's the big one - 20th High School Reunion. Frakkin' hell people. I graduated from high school before most of the people here were born...
I used to work in a school. I felt truly old when I was having a discussion with some of the kids and they were amazed that Michael Jackson had once been black.
1 When I told a Bunch of Kids "GET OFF MY LAWN!!"
2 When a the Entire FLEET of a Aircraft I had worked on had been Retired.
3 When I looked at a SWT and realized that my Daughter was older then her.
4 One Word. GRANDCHILDREN.
5 When I bought a Explorer and couldn't find the Points under the hood.

Other example happened yesterday: Me and a friend went to a birthdayparty before going out and within five minutes we left; don't know why but there was something that made me feel like I was too old to be there.
Again I'm not old but I felt old then.
