You know your old when ...

[zaza687]

You get excited when your bins get emptied 🤣 your turn

It's in the title

Trying to be clever didn't quite work out here did it 😂

When you explain to adults at work what it was like before work emails!

& punctuation & grammar 😉🤣

I was a year married!

Mine was this morning!

Yes, I definitely remember this. My mum had to have the doctor called out as she was very unwell (colitis), not only did he turn up within a few hours with a trainee GP with him but they gave me a lift to the shops (I was about 13) to get the prescription which saved me a fairly long walk.

They don't do it like that any more - more's the pity.

Tell them about faxes and blow their minds

Telex, they'll go insane.

I don't want to make you feel even older but I've related to most of these posts but have no idea what yours means

…when you order glucosamine/cod-liver oil/ turmeric/ rosehip oil for your joints.
and maybe even move over to Hotter shoes

You only go into pubs where there are plenty of seats and the music isn’t too loud.

Teletext was actually quite good !
I was upset to lose the Bamboozle quiz

Tbf, it was pretty old tech., at my first office job. I think some of the Directors didn't want to give it up. Scared me to death. You typed in a message, it very loudly typed it out and simultaneously sent it across the world to another machine. Bakelite and that hammered effect metal.

An appointment for your first mammogram.
You watch Grumpy Old Women at Christmas, and most of it now applies to you.
Ailments and parts of your body start giving you 'gyp'
Grey pubes 😬
Eating late at night gives you indigestion
You see your mother staring back at you in selfies

Oh - and you are getting too old for Radio 2

Oh God yes, this is so me! I get very excited about how many loads of washing I can potentially get dried in a day and my poor old sun lounger sits, all forlorn, in my garden!

When your students at the FE college where you work keep telling you that you are actually older than their Grandparents.

My teens remind me of my ancientness frequently. My son asked if I'd 'heard of Robert Smith and The Cure' last week (yes, yes I have, I was emo when they were called goths). My daughter will only allow me to post photos of her on FB rather than any other social media platform as 'it's only for old people, no-one I know will see it on there.' And they've both 'interviewed' me for history homework on 'what it was like living through the Cold War'...

Yes. You are. You are. You're!

You start to recognise the names of people who have died in the news.

Watching Antiques Roadshow and recognising all the items from your childhood
(But have now 'disappeared')

When you're on a drive with your DH and he says "Ooo, that's a nicely maintained roundabout." and you agree....then give each other side-eye because you've just turned into his parents.

There's a crunchie in the fridge pure joy

You get excited about being able to hang the washing outside on a dry day.

When your DC actually laugh out loud when you tell them about listening to music on a Walkman.

When you discover the local museum has a section full of toys and games you played with as a child.
