What makes you feel old?

1. I never get carded anymore. 2. I think a lot of music today is garbage. 3. I'm 7 years older than Evan Peters. Random fact: We have the same birthday.

Re: What makes you feel old?

  • I used to go to concerts all the time, maybe weekly. Now if there are no seats at a show, I'm like eff that and pretty much never go.

    How old is Evan Peters?

    I've noticed that I don't get carded if I have M with me, but I do when I don't. I guess that makes sense.

    I feel old watching Friends on Nick at
    Night.
    25.

  • When I go to bar I complain about the loud music and I'm like "What's with all the young people?!" I used the word hooligan the other day.
  • I have no idea who Evan Peters is and he was born while I was in high school.  That makes feel old.

    I hate going to bars where the young people hang out.  

    Unless you're talking about the gay bars.  Those are the best bars ever.

  • I was just thinking about this today when I heard "Crash" by Dave Matthews on the radio during the RETRO lunch hour. Friends, The Nanny, and Full House on Nick at Nite also does it for me.

  • Who is Evan Peters?  (seriously, can't be bothered to google)

    Realizing that I've been friends with some people for well over 30 years.  Having those conversations when you are trying to remember when something happened a decade ago or more.  Seeing my friends with reading glasses (I'm holding out but it's getting ugly).  Knowing that going out 2 nights in a row is virtually impossible.  Some of the people I went to high school with are grandparents.

    Insert Indifferent face here.  I know I did the first time someone mentioned their grandchild to me.

    promised myself I'd retire when I turned gold, and yet here I am

    The word hooligan should be used much more often IMO. Idk who this Evan Peters guy is...
    When the classic radio station plays music from the 90's I feel old. Also when I go shopping and think all the clothes are hideous.

    She's not listed because I"m not fully convinced she isn't responsible for all the crime in Cabot Cove.

    It's a little too convenient that she was always around when murders and stuff were going down.

    I was at a restaurant/bar with some girlfriends for a bookclub that we have.  A randon guy approaches our table and we're all thinking he's going to hit on us or something.  Nope, instead he starts telling us about some insurance he's selling and leaves us a bunch of his business cards.  I felt really old after that.

    That's your smoking gun.

    I'm in a bookclub too.

  • I was supposed to go to the bar with my friends kid but they had to cancel.
    It balances out with the excitement if getting carded for cigs in your 30th birthday.
    I don't feel old very often.

  • I know I'm old because...

    My higschool freshmen were born while I was in college.

    I have officially reached "advanced maternal age". (Do you hear that clock ticking??)

    There was a time that 10 p.m. meant it was time to get ready to go out. Now it means it's time to get ready for bed.

    The first time I sang the line from "Strawberry Wine", "I still remember when 30 was old" I only kind of thought 30 was old.

    I think the song "Strawberry Wine" is relevant enough to mention it in this post.

    Evan peters is in American horror story. And is also the guy twat might do time for stalking.

    20 years ago?! Wow my parents suck. I saw that when I was 10!??
    I felt old when talking to my 24 year old co worker and she showed me her "Barbie" Halloween costume and was hoping for a party to go to...
  • I feel old when my sister brings over friends so they can get ready to go out at the same time I am going to bed.

    I feel old when I call the financial advisor to find out details about my disability and life insurance policies.

    I feel old when I look at kids that are starting college.  They look so young.

    I feel old when I get out old swimsuits from high school and college (that I keep because someday I "might" fit into them again) and realize I will never, truthfully, look good in them again.

    Honestly, in my head, I know I am not old.  I am 27 and I think that it is still really young.  But these things do make me feel old at times. 

  • When I see the sign that says "must be born on this date to purchase cigarettes" and I am over twice that age.

    i saw the movie Airplane! In the theater with my mom, my little brother, and her coworkers.  I was around seven.  I distinctly remember the boobs jiggling scene and thinking I should not be watching this movie.   

    Oh and AOL happened when I was an adult.  I've had the same account (I use it for junk mail now) and password since 1995. 

  • The user and all related content has been deleted.
  • So I take it nobody watches AHS in this thread.

    I was at Jcrew and I tried on some cute pants. DD yelled " grandma has those same pants". Sigh...they went back on the hanger.
    MIL is young and hip, but it still felt weird.
    Winner of this thread, hands down.

    LOL!

    I guess for me it's not liking the current trends or music for all the young hooligans out there, lol and I love watching the news. I just always remember my Grandma doing that when I was little and now I'm doing it. ::sigh::

    Hands down and without exaggeration, I looked my best in my early 30s.  Kind of 31-36 (then I got pregnant and pregnant again and well, here I am...).

    I prefer pictures of me in my 30s to my 20s.  I am pulled together then.  My body is hawt. 

    I'll bet you look fantastic, and I'll bet you'll look even better in 5 years.

    The very first time I felt old was when I said congratulations to a friend who told me she was pregnant.
