You know you're getting old when..

You can't bend her over the desk and look at the spreadsheet at the same time?

Most adverts are aimed at people younger than you.

Now I'm like, "Meh. Who cares?". "Is this the spreadsheet you want me to look at?"

You only need to worry if you stop noticing completely

You start getting people message you on dating sites asking if you'd date a younger man/woman. I am now falling into the older woman category. Good Lord.

You hear kids screaming (or perhaps to young ears merely playing in a semi high tone) at checkout and silently shake your head, wishing you could shake some silence into them. (I actually like kids- the little migraine triggering cuties that they are).

When it's sunny and one set of neighbors start playing 60's music while the other end plays house and you just sit there spitting out swear words that you can't enjoy a bit of peace and quiet for a change. 10 years ago, it was these bastards that were knocking to tell me to turn my music down. How things change.

When you start actually listening to the news and not just reading the celeb gossip column. Who is this Kim Jong-Un fellow? I think i'd like a little nodding one for my car like one of those nodding bull dogs. I'm joking. I don't have a car.

Also when you start wearing a hat to go outside because it's a bit nippy out there and you don't wanna get a chill. Yup, i'm definitely cougar material.

Adverts use music you grew up with...which used to be 'cool', for products you can't afford/have no interest in purchasing, like family cars.

When I go to lidl and buy a £3.99 bra

[kirbycrackle]

^ haha, only the finest...oi reply to my what's app misses

[gregarious_introvert]

***8230; you see a circle pit starting at a festival and decide it's not a great idea to join in

*disclaimer: this happened to me yesterday, but my decision was based more on the heel injury I've had for the past week than thinking I was too old to mosh - I was struggling to stand at the time (it was my third festival of the weekend).

[choirgirl]

Heh! I was more thinking, you pay £40 for a bra without blinking because you want to prevent boob sag for as long as possible

[Quicksand]

When you see your tummy and the behind extending - and other areas distending - in ways you do not like. the grey hair add on each week is really flattering too...

When someone writes underneath a Youtube video something along the lines of:

"I was 4 years old when Michael Jackson died and I'd never heard of him..."

[Rocket Spud]

^ Were they talking about the Michael Jackson?

[Copernicium]

When you suddenly realise that you would like to go to the chelsea flower show.

I'd guess seeing as the comment was underneath an actual Michael Jackson music video I'd say yes.

I always think it looks nice and relaxing, yet ironically in the middle of London.

[hellotiger]

When you see a themed club night and think "oooh grunge music, I'd quite like to go to that" and then see that it starts at 10:30pm. I go to bed at 10:30pm!

[Toxic]

^ I don't know why but it reminded me of one place I went to a few times

It was very much music up my street (metal/rock etc) I went during uni. Infact barring pubs it was the only sort of nightclub you could ever get me in as I all the others played music I'd rather shoot myself than listen to but

So I frequented it when I was..19-23ish, all felt fairly normal! nothing out the ordinary, fitting in fine.

Then I went back once when I was 26/27 for whatever reason. I felt like a dirty old man..looking at all these "women" (girls?!) I doubt I was far off being old enough to be their dad! or at least It felt that way (I'm aware I Would have had to father them at the age of about 8 but still)

That was my nightclub ..life..over 26 and past it.

[Kipling]

When you remember most of the DJs on Radio 2 being on Radio 1. All it needs is Jeremy Vine and Vanessa Feltz to get replaced with people like Chris Moyles and Bruno Brookes and it's complete!

[Silent Ninja]

When you see an article on one hit wonders and realise "You Get What You Give" by the New Radicals is nearly TWENTY YEARS old.

[Silent Ninja]

^ It does only feel like it's a few years old for some reason.

[newbs16]

You get excited about new socks

[Kipling]

I'm now 3 years older than singer Michael McDonald was in this video - he'd have been 34, yet looks so much older!

[gregarious_introvert]

***8230; when you realise you're not invincible! I had a fall last week in Newfoundland and cut my head open on some rocks and it's the first time I've ever felt that I might hurt myself seriously. Fortunately, despite the heavy bleeding (head wounds do tend to bleed excessively), there was no concussion, just lots of grazes and bruises and a deep cut a few millimetres from my eye which made me feel that I could have lost it. It's a reminder that I may have to start slowing down in the future!

You know you're getting old when you,........ die

I love staying indoors relaxing, wearing my pj's and drinking tea.

You wake up in pain

Seriously, I'm 32..do I need to start looking at special mattresses with selling points such as firm and supportive?

I used to be able to sleep on literally anything

When Now that's what I call music 100 is being released and you can remember the first few that came out on vinyl
