Greg Giraldo had a good one:
You know you’re getting old when you fall down, no one laughs and random strangers come running over acting all concerned.
When go into the hospital and there are all these kids roaming the halls; one comes into your room, you ask if he or she has seen any doctors out there, and some 18 year old insists he or she IS the doctor. What’s with that? Some kind of prank?
When a friend’s son sees your car outside of a bar and stops in to say hi, and you are shocked when the bartender gets him a drink. :eek: Happened yesterday.
(I thought he was 18 or so. Turns out he’s 24. I was worried the bartender served him as a favor to me)
When the 19-year-old college intern acts shocked when you tell her that you’re 34, because she’s so young and inexperienced that she thinks everyone working in an office is her parents’ age. I’m 34, not 50! I’m not even twice your age! (Almost, but I’m not, dammit.)
When you plan a trip and say, instead of taking my old junker, we’ll drive the new car, and you immediately realize the ‘new’ car is 8 years old. Didn’t we just pick it up at the dealership last summer?
