You know you are old when .. ..

Last I saw of my cousin's son, he was 12 years old and playing on my Playstation.

Now he's married with a kid of his own.

Yeah, I'm old...

38? that is young. But about the important stuff. Yes, but is the kid any good on the Playstation?
He was good at games. I personally was probably better at video games when I was his age than I am now.
 
When you walk into a store and you note the music is too loud (furthermore, realising the stores you entered you've been aged out of because the clothing is now geared to a younger audience).

The day I said, "Ow, my hip!"

When you talk about BTVS ending 20 years ago - and you watched it when it originally aired...

well, for me the music was always too loud, even though I loved it better in the 1970s... and it's my knees... but... i relate
When you find out your first console is in the science MUSEUM!!!! LOL

my first tv... our first tv was older than this and black and white and I remember when 'car phones' were a 'thing' in bond movies.
I remember coming home from school and finishing my homework and chores quickly so that I could sit down and watch the show. Back then I thought I was a Scooby. Now I'm more of a... let them handle it. I've hanged my stake for now.

  • I wear a hearing aid and yet I still ask for people to repeat what they've said.
  • Music (aka noise) is too loud in any establishment.
  • My back hurts so much more than it did when I had my accident. I can tell you when a storm is on the horizon and ibuprofen is my friend.
  • My child says, "Are you watching Buffy....AGAIN?" 😀 To which I reply, "Your time is coming, my little slayer in training!"
  • Everyone gets on my last nerve? 😀 I just polish my glasses, sigh, and move on.
 
My first computer ran on two 8 inch floppy discs and filled a room.
But all is not lost as I remember what happened on the first episode of BTVS, or the first trailer I saw for the series
I wear a hearing aid but it is bloody useless even though it took me ages to fit it to my belt for my jeans.
 
You are old if you remember:

The alternate action foot switch for high beams
Carburetors
Bias=ply tires
Tires that had inner tubes.
Windows you had to crank up or down
Opening quarter vent windows
Vapour lock
Curb feelers
Bench seats
Rayon tire plies
Ball joints with grease fittings
Recirculating ball steering
Steering wheel spinners
 
When you give in and buy one of those 7-day pill sorters... and still forget to take your pills.

My favorite George Burns line: You know you're old when you lean down to tie your shoes and think, "What else can I do while I'm down here?"

You also know you're old if you know who George Burns is, and if you avoid lace-up shoes anymore.
 
I just thought some of you were perhaps 40 year olds joking about being 'old'. Are some of you older?

Run your cursar over the picture above the members name, some of us are not embarrassed about our age.
