What makes you feel old?

[DebbieTheCat]

Alexa just played Justin Bieber’s ‘Baby’.

Justin Bieber now has a baby.

Oh my!
Where have the last 15 years gone?! 😳

My niece has just had a baby 😵
Am now a 'Great Auntie' which sounds ridiculously ancient so will obviously be dropping 'Great'.

Being 65..............

Congratulations to your niece @User100000000000000000001
I'm sure you're 'great' in every sense 😀

@CallYourselfAChef you've got plenty more innings yet! 😊

We have a trainee teacher at work, who is 22.
When he was born, I had already been teaching 20 years 🙁

@SuziQuinto oh goodness, definitely this!

Threads on here where anyone over 60 seems to be considered decrepit.

I know! The gift suggestions are usually hilarious.

In Ireland you’d be a Grand Aunt.

I damaged my knee 3 years ago. It now aches when it's damp. I'm only early 50's 🙄.

There’s a 22 year old at work. I’m 43 and his mum is 45! Also one woman had been there 15 years the other day to which this guy jokingly said he was 7 when she started

These colleagues were born after 9/11.....

When you’ve got a Facebook account that’s older than your colleague 😀

😂
"Happy 60th!
Here's a subscription of frozen ready meals from Wiltshire Farm Foods and a brochure for a Stannah stairlift!"

I’m 45 and am older than the mothers of at least 2 of my colleagues

When sports commentators talk about the age of participants and you have to do the maths and can't believe there's people taking part who were born after 9/11, 7/7, etc

😂

My 6 year old DD has a new teacher at school who’s 23 - at 45 I am old enough to be her mother never mind my daughters 😂

Aww that's nicer...I could live with that 😄...and makes more sense, like Grand parents.

When teenagers hold doors open for me, and show me respect!

What makes me chuffing angry though is adverts for 'over 55s' where they play fucking Glen Miller and Bill Haley music. People in their 50s and 60s now, grew up with Bowie, Prince, Madonna, The Police, Genesis, Adam and the Ants, Fleetwood Mac, Blondie, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran, George Micheal etc etc etc. And in their 20s and 30s (still young) they would have been listening to Spice Girls, Britney Spears, N-Sync, Girls Aloud, Rihanna, Beyonce, Destiny's Child etc etc etc.

These ad makers need to fuck off with that 1950s bollux. Many of the people they are advertising their product at weren't even born then FFS!

Also sick to fucking death of getting ads - online - for facelifts, teeth whitening, body sculpting, and botox. Shockingly, even though I am a 'relic' in my late 50s, I am happy with the way I look. This shit started as soon as I hit 50. (Mostly on Facebook!) Fucking 50!

See also: ads for walking frames, walking sticks, baths with doors, level access showers, funeral plans. direct cremations, and wills. The ads for all this started when I hit 50.

I am actually proper annoyed about it! 😆

That does make you feel old doesn't it... when teachers, police, doctors etc are younger than your children?! 😆

I never would have guessed🤭

Urban Outfitters 🫣

When I see a photo of someone from years ago and haven't seen them in the in between years and they now look old. Then it dawns on me that I've aged too!

I had a shock when I saw Paul Nicholas in the news as in my mind he still looks like he did when he was Vince in Just good friends.

I'm 37 and had my twins at 22. They're nearly 16 which absolutely terrifies me. They still seem like babies to me and the fact that in 6 years, they are going to be the age that I was when I gave birth to them is insane.

I have just spent a small fortune on hiking boots instead of another pair of 'trendy' trainers.

Fashion is out and comfort & durability are in. 😎
