I was watching the new Supermarket Sweep the other day, god help me, and the contestants made me feel older than I've ever felt before. They were all about 20, all very shiny and excitable, but anything before about 2010 was ancient history to them. |

Re: You know you're getting old when..
Some of those contestants make me feel old and I'm still in my 20s
Pop culture always moves on though, you can't blame people for not knowing every insignificant bit of information from every time period that came before them. Probably more so now that people have access to stuff from all over the world instead of having their outlook limited to the same 3/4/5 British TV channels as everyone else. |

^ Have parents stopped teaching nursery rhymes to their offspring now?
I remember singing nursery rhymes to my child although I suppose that was a good 13/14 years ago now. I know I'm getting old when I'm in bed before 9:00pm every night. |

Re: You know you're getting old when..
I know I'm getting old when someone compliments me about not looking as old as my age but it fails to cheer me up because supposedly looking a decade younger than I actually am is still OLD. It's like someone saying to a 95 year old "Gosh I would never have guessed your age! You only look 85!"
If someone can't tell me I look forever 25 then please don't say anything! (Btw, I'm not 95 OR 85) |

Re: You know you're getting old when..
… someone young enough to be my son says that it's refreshing talking to me because he normally only speaks to people a generation younger than he is (this happened to me yesterday).

Re: You know you're getting old when..
^^ Lol, it's a lonnnng time since any one has addressed me as young lady
Hmm, if you were a decade younger than you actually are then that would make you a mere youngster in my eyes Seriously, it's lovely that the young man found it so refreshing to talk to you and why an earth not! I think it would be a sad state of affairs if we could only identify and relate to others who were of a similar chronological age. |

Re: You know you're getting old when..
I'm a mere youngster now! 58 is the new 25, I'll have you know!
The guy I was speaking to was 40, I think he would like being referred to as a young man (although I took it as a compliment that when we started talking, he thought we were closer to being the same age). |
