Things that make you feel old

Okay, there’s one that make me feel kinda old. Remembering when boner pills were a new thing and be shilled during primetime television by a presidential candidate.

I feel old when I get up off the couch and can’t stand up straight and have to shuffle along hunched over because my back has gone out. Again. :frowning:

My cat is about 5 years old.

I once realized that it is about 50/50 as to whether I will bury her or she will bury me.

and yes - modern “music” is Garbage!

Realising whilst engaging in a discussion on a soccer message board that it was over half a century since I attended my first match. Realising now that that realisation was 5 years ago.

I remember watching Winston Churchill’s funeral on TV.

I can’t have my back surgery until I know whether I’ll need another heart surgery. Then I can start thinking about my knee replacements. The hernia surgery , achilles tendon surgery and the next dental implant will just have to wait.

Oh, and the last Cleveland Indians game I saw live, Bob Feller, Bob Lemon and Larry Doby were playing.

Waking up tired (fatigued).

Only last week did I seriously begin to feel old. I can’t get rid of Trump in my Facebook suggested pages. I tried blocking the pages, clicking off of them, reporting them, even “liking” liberal pages – even though I don’t want to see more liberal stuff in my feed, I just don’t want to see Trump’s face ever again! None of it is working and I am considering not using Facebook because of it. I don’t know what I did to deserve to be lumped in his demographic.

Previously everything else that happened was more like “haha, stuff I like happened a long time ago” but I seriously do not like this.

The phrase, “Wha…? What’s a… Stick Shift…?”

70-something women holding doors open for me … that’s just cold …

Kids born on the day that I was old enough to drink now have children old enough to drink.

When the local radio DJ says he is going to play an “oldie” or a “throwback” and proceeds to play a song that was released when I was already out of college.

Realizing Beavis & Butthead debuted nearly a quarter of a century ago.

Trying to explain to my cousin’s daughter that 2001: A Space Odyssey is a classic because people used to be scared of computers.

People who are younger than me.

After showering, reaching down to dry my feet and ankles.

I was 26 when I went to college. On the first day of class this guy walks into the room and I thought “Oooh, that guy is cute, I hope he sits next to me.”

…he was the teacher.

After showering, not being able to reach down to dry my feet and ankles.

Discussing the topic of old movies with my daughter. When I think of old movies I think of movies that starred John Wayne or Elvis Presley. When she thinks of old movies it’s movies like Ghostbusters or Weekend at Bernie’s, the movies I grew up with.

(Apologies in advance)

Having to get up three or more times a night to pee.

Beauty and the Beast, which I admit I saw when I was in elementary school, came out closer to the Apollo 11 landing than today.
