You know you're getting old when..

[Bluebear]

When I find myself judging a younger female attention getter/seeker
(who also judges me)

[gregarious_introvert]

I can't believe I did this, but...

When you come away on a trip and realise, at the airport, that you don't have your house keys and that you must have left them in the lock on the back door when you left home!

Senility has started.

The upside is that until recently, I've never had a genuine friend but when I'm able to call someone who drives twenty miles just to retrieve my keys and put them somewhere secure for me to find when I get home, I know that I have one now.

When thinking about tits you suddenly remind yourself that you're running low on milk.

Or that you should put some bread out for the birds in the garden.

[Professor Willow]

You wish your shirt was longer so it stays tucked in when you bend over.
Nothing worse than a draught around the lower back.

^Or when you make a cup of tea then forget to drink it.

You start feeling personally affronted when phones, self check outs etc come up with errors. I just clicked in the wrong place on a form, got an error, and nearly shouted at my phone "ALRIGHT, I KNOW, GIVE ME A ****ING SECOND WILL YOU, I SUPPOSE YOU'RE MR BLOODY PERFECT?!?"

[Ghost_]

^ Ha, I particularly hate the self check outs shouting repeatedly at you. PLEASE INSERT CARD! Calm down machine I'm going as fast as I can.

[choirgirl]

This is one for my dad: when you are chuffed when a much younger man picks up your suitcase at the station and takes it down the stairs for you.

[Laura Palmer]

When on a Friday evening, you genuinely look forward to watching, Gardeners' World.


No...really!


Middle-aged Shout out

[anxiouslondoner]

^^^^^ I despise self-checkout machines with a seething hatred, yet I still use them because otherwise I have to actually speak to a human. Recently M&S thought it'd be a great promotional deal to have Ant+Dec and Amanda Holden voice the tills! Ffs, Amanda Bloody Holden telling me I have put the wrong item in the bagging area! No, your scales are miscalibrated as usual you dim lass.

Hey hey you should check out Beechgrove Garden from that there BBC Scotland

As much as I love Monty's dogs (I'd be happy if the whole show was just them ), I think I prefer being taught compost in a Scottish accent

Check it out!

You are actually older than the 'old person' standing in front of you in the Dr's Surgery

I prefer to listen to Carpenters, Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald etc these days and sometimes Coldplay, Alicia Keys and Rumer.

I listen to Coldplay and Bowie..(etc) no clue what’s in the charts

[choirgirl]

You feel like you're living in a parallel universe and you don't really understand the modern world. This used to be something people classically feel around 60 or so, but I started feeling this way at 35.

[Dolittle]

When it's a struggle to get your socks on in the morning because your back aches so much.

[Mr. Nobody]

When strictly announces it's latest round of celebrities and,.. I don't know a single one of them.

[humphrey]

^ The only one I know, is Aneka Rice, but she's a blast from the past!

I used to like watching her on Treasure Hunt when I was a teen

[humphrey]

I actually appeared in one of the episodes of Challenge Aneka, back in the early 90's, when they did a pantomime at the Tyne Theatre in Newcastle. I was working stage electrics, so was in the thick of it.

I've never seen it, but I always thought it was for older people Isn't it usually people from soaps and stuff?

I'm 28 and I've only heard of one of them. I love her though - Michelle Visage.

[newbs16]

When your bed is calling you at 11.30 and other people's night out is just beginning.

[Toxic]

^ Tell me about it, I can't remember the last time I saw midnight..its embarrassing.

Doesn't help I tend to get up at 4-6am though.

[newbs16]

When you've had a new, fancy phone for at least three months and I have still been using my old, small Samsung phone.

[Orwell20]

You get sick of people telling you it's never too late. Of course it's too late.

[Dougella]

^ Or maybe when you stop believing people who tell you it's never too late. Whether that's true or not is another matter.

[Bluebear]

When trolls and malignant Narcissists make me feel like puking all over their low life bodies..
