you may be considered old when...

**Motor Jax** · 12-05-2008, 09:12 AM

... you look at people's birth year and say to yourself, "damn, i was already in school/graduated/started my first job...

... lovingly watch a re-run of an outdated episode that you grew up watching religiously (lately for me is the show In the Heat of the Night)

... next...

/Pretends to be old

When you can't understand why kids would post drunken pictures on some "facebook.com" site.

**jikin** · 12-05-2008, 09:31 AM

...you find out a kid you taught in daycare is now married.

**Zzyber** · 12-05-2008, 09:40 AM

You continuously comment on the fact that you don't understand how most of the music get's a record label these days.

**rewhu** · 12-05-2008, 09:42 AM

You use any of these phrases:

That's dope
Whoomp there it is
Raise the roof

You can actually remember acquiring items you've now owned for 25 or more years.

**Kisai** · 12-05-2008, 10:29 AM

When a movie that came out when you were in elementary school keeps coming out for commemorative anniversary editions. For me, it's 'Alien'.

**INTJoe** · 12-05-2008, 10:30 AM

Great thread. I'm 29 but I've noticed that I reflect on much of society as "old" now.

A 22-ish year old guy about a month ago called me "Sir". WTF!? FU!!! I AIN'T NO SIR, I AIN'T BEEN KNIGHTED BY THE GODDAMN QUEEN OF ENGLAND I'LL KICK YOUR F***IN ASS MAN!!!

lol. And a couple weeks ago my old roomate (also 29) got married. I lived with him from 4-7 years ago. I saw his little brother who is now 16 and wanted to say "Man you got big. Do you remember me? I remember you when you were way down here..." I told that to my gf when we first saw him across the room then I was like "Damn, you know you're getting old when you tell kids who don't know who you are 'I remember you when you were short!!!'" She laughed and so I didn't say it to him.

I simply asked if he remembered me and he did!

Other things I've noticed recently: Trimmed ear hair. Sick. Noticed I have about 5 greys (not bad for 29). My hairline is yet to recede so that's good. My dad was greying at 22.

I actually look forward to my yearly physical because finding out if you have cancer or not seems important to me.

I make financial plans with my future kids in mind.

I realized last year that I first met my dad when he was MY AGE!!! HOLY SH*T.

...If you don't know what lulz are, or what ROFL means.

**ClydeB** · 12-05-2008, 10:48 AM

When they stop asking for ID for booze and cigarettes.

When they start asking for your senior discount card.

**rewhu** · 12-05-2008, 10:51 AM

*puts on reading glasses*
*looks up 'lulz' in urbandictionary.com*

Ah indeed, just as I suspected.

**INTJoe** · 12-05-2008, 11:01 AM

Let's turn this into joke thread:

If you thought it was awesome when you dove off the sinking Titanic.

If you retain some of your old homework written on papyrus

If you still carry a bone around and drag your knuckles

If you lost everything you owned during the last ice age.

If the Big Bang was the loudest thing you've ever heard.

You might be getting old when you females calling each other 'bitch' and you don't understand that they're saying it in a friendly way.

**Wapiti** · 12-05-2008, 12:50 PM

You might be getting old when you find yourself thinking; 'yeah, she looks pretty good for a 60 year old.'

Did I really type that outloud.

**AJB** · 12-05-2008, 02:00 PM

you go to buy cigarettes or alcohol, see the "You must have been born on or before", and sigh....

Here's a message someone forwarded to me titled "The Spoiled Under 30 Crowd"

( Show Spoiler )

**INTJoe** · 12-05-2008, 02:13 PM

lol that is awesome, and a good re-enactment of growing up in the 80s.

I forgot what that busy sound even sounded like..."Anh-anh-anh-anh-anh..." I used to think it was "extra busy" when the beeps occured with higher frequency.

**Zzyber** · 12-05-2008, 02:17 PM

I still think that half the crap that gets put out there as chat speak is something somebody makes up on the spot and pretends that it is old hat and you are retarded for not knowing what it is.

*pumps up his Reeboks and puts his snap bracelet on*

**INTJoe** · 12-05-2008, 02:31 PM

You kids are talking too loudly in here...keep it down...

Anyone know where my Criss Cross CD, or green Cross Colours pants are? Also, I'm missing my Digital Underground CD and Z. Cavarricis, as well as my B.U.M. Equipment sweater, and Girbaud shirt. Hey, there's my Hypercolor shirt....and Addidas jacket.

**SeaCzar** · 12-05-2008, 02:51 PM

"Please press 1 if you have a rotary phone now...."

you may be considered old when...

The kids are all taller than I am.

AJB Member [03%] MBTI: ixTJ Join Date: May 2008 Posts: 157	you go to buy cigarettes or alcohol, see the "You must have been born on or before", and sigh.... Here's a message someone forwarded to me titled "The Spoiled Under 30 Crowd" ( Show Spoiler ) When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning ... Uphill... barefoot... BOTH ways!!! Yadda, yadda, yadda And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had it, and how easy they've got it! But now that... I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia! And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how good you've got it! I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we wanted to know something, We had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalogue!! There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter, with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there! There were no MP3' s or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself! Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up! We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it! And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances! We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600 with games like 'Space Invaders' and 'asteroids'!! Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your Imagination!! And there were no multiple levels or screens; it was just one screen ... Forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE! You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel and there was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-bastards! And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up, we had to use the stove ... Imagine that! That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled!!! You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980 or before!
