You know your getting old when...

[PH03b3]

You walk past bonmarche and see some shorts think how nice they are think I bet they are really comfortable and happily go buy them.

Im early 30s.

Anybody else had a getting old moment recently?

Re falling over. You know you are old when you no longer fall over.
You have a fall.
Only old people have a fall, fucking ageism at its worst.

^
I agree x 1000 times. I SLIPPED on ice last winter and got fed up with correcting people who asked "did you have a fall?" NO, I DID NOT.... can you feel my pain?

When....
The sun's shining and your estatic so make a mad dash to strip the beds as you know you'll get it all dry and can remake in a few hours!!!

Saying "oof" as you sit down and needing a hand to get out of a low chair.

(I've got to speak to an MP who sounds terribly impressive and when I googled him he looked about 12.)

when the character you fancy in films isn't the lead actor, but the lead actor's dad.

You're watching Fawlty Towers and you notice that Sybil actually looks rather young.

You love a nice David Attenborough programme.

When you ask your nephew "is that a new action man you had for your birthday"
& he asks who action Man is

When your apprentice asks what a fax is. And looks shocked that the song on the radio isn't the original

When you find football managers attractive.

When you get excited about it being sunny so you can hang your washing out.

When you buy national trust membership for yourself.

When I look at my 17 year old dressed up for a night out, and realise I was that age 17 years ago and now she's 17 😬

Looking forward to good weekend weather so you can potter around the garden

When you sit down on a Sunday evening and watch Antiques Roadshow and Countryfile...

Footballers/Doctors/Celebs look unbelievably young to you.

When you're at work completing a risk assessment form for work experience student and they were born in 2002.

When your 12yo ds announces that at your next birthday you will be one twentieth of a millennium.

When you listen to the 'top 10' and think "but they all sound the same?! "

When you go to the dentist and a schoolgirl starts poking around in your mouth.

When you see a promising young footballer (D’Margio Wright-Phillips) and you realise you remember when both his dad (Shaun Wright-Phillips) and his grandad (Ian Wright) were promising young players....

when your at a party and you can't wait to go home and then y m c a starts to play and your up on the dance floor doing all the moves

When you have a sex dream about that Inglesias fella and it’s Julio not Enrique.

When events/vehicles from your life feature in museums.

When you have to put reading glasses on to pluck out the itchy chin bristle.

When you realise with much joy that generally you don’t five a flying f**k what other people think.

When you have to fold yourself up slowly and methodically to get down to the floor in order to put something away in a bottom cupboard, or the vegetables in the bottom of the fridge, and once that's done you look around and think to yourself (or, worse, say out loud) "What else can I do while I'm down here?"

When you find yourself idly turning the pages of the Damart Catalogue that came in the copy of "Whats on TV"

@FiremanKing thanks for that I'm creasing 😂😂

When you do forms and they ask for your age and it’s:
Under 18
18-25 etc
When you go up to the next box that’s a tragedy 🤷‍♀️😥 I also overheard some teenage girls call nineties clothes vintage 😬 Not impressed!

When you realise colleagues were born after 9/11 and learned about it at school as history.

When there are so many people younger than you. I struggle to remember that people in their 30s will be noticeably younger than me and often describe them as being in their early 20s. People in their 20s I find impossible to age as they are clearly not teenagers but still look so young

Beginning to have an understanding of what my 98yo Gran means when "it seems like yesterday" or "I still feel
like a 30yo".
