You know your old when ...

[zaza687]

You get excited when your bins get emptied 🤣 your turn

When you realise your son will be 50 next year

Yes 🤣 you know you're old...
Not your old

I always work out how much younger everyone is in comparison to me as well !
Or ' I was 21 when that song came out the first time around '
Drives my children mad that one

washing on the line makes you happy...nice to get it "done and dried in a day"

Your arms aren't long enough.

You get ma'am'd.

Your thumb gets sore when you scroll through the list of years on a website to get to your DOB

You wander aimlessly around your garden for ages with your arms clasped behind your back, just like your mum and dad did!

You plan visits upstairs to get as much done as possible so you are not up and down loads of times.

You start recording antiques roadshow.

Its was a display about how technology has changed through the years. So my first mobile phone was there (no colour screen/camera/bluetooth which i got in my teens)

When it seems as if every other week one of the icons of your childhood/youth has died.
So depressing.

I think some songs in the charts are actually just songs from adverts, hold music or something that's played in a lift. Makes my ears bleed.
I work with people who don't know what a cassette tape is.
I carry painkillers, flu tablets and cream with me. But I always forget tissues despite toddler having a constant runny nose.
Most of the people I work with are early 20s. They ask me life questions. I was once asked to diagnose a lump on the back of lads neck.
I'm early 30s you know. I don't think I'm old?

Will you be my friend?

I told my DH to put me out to pasture when I didn't immediately skip over Gardener's Question Time. Then last year I heard them talking about DIY terrariums and had to leave it on.

When you go to a vintage car exhibition/rally......and you read the info....and practically every car was manufactured the year you were born! Suppose being vintage sounds marginally better than old though ! 😁

You no longer fall over.

You have a fall

I wasn’t even taught grammar at school in the shit 70s (new horrible histories name for it) but still know it’s ‘you’re old’ not ‘your old’. I want to say ‘your old what?’ ‘Knickers? Mop? Tv? Kit bag?

Politicians look like teenagers.

And your tiny baby is about to get their voting papers/drivers' licence.

I remember at work a number of years back, I was speaking with the Supervisors in the team,
They had been discussing something happening on Coronation street the night before.

I said "yeah! its so funny the daughters name is Toya on the program like the singer!"
Everyone looked at me blankly! "Who"
I started singing - You know - "Its a mystery, Its a mystery!"

I swear to God they all looked at me as if I was crazy!

I mentioned the yellow pages , Thomson local the other day ( that forerunner to the Internet ! )
Was met with a blank look
' how did you know where to meet people ' my son asked me once! We did have phones son, just ones you couldn't walk around with outside. Or do that much with.

When you're on a thread with a load of grumpy old women.

When referring the 'wireless' you mean the box on which you listen to the home service Radio 4

At work a colleague and I were talking about the chimps in the old PG Tips adverts. A younger colleague said she loved monkey and has one when we told her no these were real chimps she tilted her head and said softly Monkey was just a puppet

You become irrationally upset about grammar mistakes like “your” instead of “you’re”! 😂

You get stressed when you are away from home and it starts raining and your washing is out and would probably have been dry.

Bloody hell, there are so many twats on here.

I hope you're all feeling suitably smug and superior now you've pointed out a spelling mistake. And no, despite your laughing emojis you're really not funny.

You ok? Bit touchy are we?
