You Know You're Getting Old When...
« on: October 05, 2007, 08:39:05 PM »
For me, the first flush of youth has gently passed. To be honest, I'm on about my 28th flush. On this site, I get the feeling that I may not be alone in this respect and I hope the heading of this post will encourage a few responses. My own contribution is based on what happened to me today when I bumped into a friend I hadn't seen for some time.
You Know You're Getting Old When...you meet an old friend and, within minutes, you're discussing what pills you're on.

Yes, Roger, someone pulled the chain on my youth and I didn't realise it until I got the letter asking if I'd like my pension now, or would I like to leave it for a few years!

You Know You're Getting Old When .... someone you considered to be 'pushing it' gets up to give you their seat on a bus (cheeky beggars!).

My mature years play tricks with my short term memory, Roger - did we actually get round to talking drugs in Birmingham? Yes, I did intend to type "talking", and not "taking".

You know you're getting old when you profess to liking the latest Number 1 hit song, and instead of the kids thinking you're cool, they just look at you like you're a lying b*****d.

You know you're getting old when...you think you may as well pee if you have to walk past the bathroom anyway.

Going into another room to get what you want only to find when you get there that you have forgotten what you came for.

You know you are getting old when the thought of trying on swimsuits becomes as terrifying as jumping out of an airplane

You know you are getting old when you try a new food without making a face first.
 
You know you are getting old when you buy shoes because they are comfortable.

You know you are getting old when someone says to you "I'm having a retro party. What did they do in the 80's for fun?"
