You know your old when ...

[zaza687]

You get excited when your bins get emptied 🤣 your turn

When you realise your 'yesterdays' now feature on TV and in plays and books (and certainly museums) looking and sounding the way the First World War or Great Depression did when you were growing up !

My own life is now part of Ye Olden Times...

Aw I used to love doing the bamboozle quiz

It is not a spelling mistake, it is the use of the wrong homonym.

Not a fan of the Boomtown rats?

<starts humming "I don't like Mondays">

When there's a nice breeze outside and you think, yep this will be perfect drying weather. Also find sitting and watching the washing hung on the line gently blowing in the breeze is rather therapeutic.

When you mention the name of night club and your much younger colleagues stand there and go never heard of that one

You now dress for comfort rather than fashion

Tena ladies are you best friend during a cold

When you go to a gig and four Dads shuffle out on stage, not the young hot lads you remember .

You realise that smug SPAG correctors are pathetic.
You are able to ignore a mistake.

Today is bin day and tip day for me.
I'm excited

We recently got a skip. That was the most exciting week I had for ages 🤣

You shouldn't store medicines in a kitchen-the temperature and humidity isn't good for them.

God, I've been old since I was about 25 reading some of this!

ODFOD. It's actually far simpler to learn to do it correctly.

It's simple to learn it correctly. Have some fucking pride if you're posting on a public forum so you come across as reasonably intelligent.

You get irritated by people mumbling and want them to speak up.

You realise Agnetha from Abba is 72.

It takes three or four rolls of the mousewheel to scroll to the year of your birth,

This thread isn't what you should or shouldn't ignore. It's about markers of increasing age. The irony being that people notice grammar and spelling errors more as they age!

Me too! Although this "yours" may just have been an annoying autocorrect.

"How old is she now?"

"She's in Year 7."

"What the fuck does that tell me?"

Nah. I always have.

I can't relax in a restaurant until I've found the spelling error on the menu. There's always one.

@WalkingOnTheCracks - 😊😊
I like your style!
The repeat offence on MN is to write "loose" when they mean "lose", which is so common that it can't be autocorrect. People really think you "loose weight"!

Getting in a panic if the subtitles are not on when watching tv.

@Maireas it's fine to notice anything in the world but getting older isn't an excuse to be knobbish and bang on at people for it.

I just thought it was a bit of a joke from those posters, really.

@halfsiesonapotnoodle ODFOD yourself.
Correcting people is tedious and there were a lot of people repeating the same thing, taking away from the point of the thread.
There is a pedants corner for those that like to smug it up over other peoples mistakes.
