Things that make you realise you are getting old

[OldGit]

When you don't have to go to work any more because you've retired. :icon_bigg

When you still have to go to work even though you have retired to pay the maintenance for the trail of offspring....

 

[Sionnach]

...when you tip your TOG mug before it gets to your mouth and cover yourself in Horlicks but you don't think anyone will notice so you wear the same tank-top for the next two days and blame the smell on the new aftershave you got from Poundstretcher but you carry on using it anyway so, after a week or two, it actually smells quite nice so you go back and buy five more from the 'discontinued' rack. Then the missus goes and washes the tank-top but luckily, that very night...

• Grey hair
• Longer time to recover from sporting activities
• Looking at clothes for their economical value as opposed to their fashion value
• Jumping over a fence and wincing at the pain when you land
• Letting the odd fart go by complete accident
• Mates getting married
• Mates starting families
• Talking to my little sister about school and realising that none of my teachers are there any more
• Saying "Ooh hasn't this year flown by..."

Most of these are signs that you are still very young. A similar list of signs of age would read:

• No hair - or a comb-over for the lucky ones
• Collapsing with exhaustion whenever you think about sporting activities
• No longer looking for clothes - you've got enough to last your lifetime
• Wincing in pain when you have to step up from the road to the pavement
• Shitting yourself every time you try to fart
• Mates getting re-married for the second time - if you've still got any alive
• Mates' children getting re-married for the first time
• Talking to my little sister about school and wondering why we can remember our teachers' names easier than we can remember who we met yesterday
• Saying "Ooh hasn't this year flown by..." - and realising that you don't even know what year it is!

When you buy a new car and you're more interested in MPG than MPH. 0-60 in 3 days, suits me just fine.

Looking at young parents and thinking jesus they're a bit young to have kids they are only kids themselves. :icon_lol:

When modern music isn't as good as when we were young

Today, I've had a teenager proclaim that I'm too old to have a 'boyfriend', especially one who likes Metallica :icon_conf

Haha love it.

To be fair though Boc the thread said "things that make you realise you are getting old". What you described is when you know you are old! :icon_wink

No, there's worse to come yet, believe me!

I'd tell you if I could remember what they are.
