You know you’re getting old when.......
Jump to: Newest in thread
When you read 1984 before 1984.
When the pandemic started your children asked you to stay at home and phoned to see if you needed shopping.
People ask you if you know how to use the internet.
The guy in the queue at the supermarket offers to hold your heavy shopping basket because he thinks you're too old to carry it not because he fancies you.

You wait until the young woman washing your hair at the salon tells you her grandmother is younger than you |

When creating a daily mix meant taping the entire top 40 off the radio on a Sunday.
Then spending hours trying to edit out the DJ by copying to another tape.
Ninja skills were required back then to get those record and play button pressed at the same time at that exact right point. |

The 65+ pensioners smart pass arrives by post, that permits travel throughout Ireland, north and south.
In Northern Ireland, there is a two stage process; the first pass, restricted to NI travel only, is available at 60.
But I certainly do not feel 'old'; a life of relaxation, leisure, freedom, and pleasure has begun!
Regrettably the NI pass does not include travel in GB. |

"You get excited when someone asks you for your ID"
I got asked for ID in Waitrose - it literally made my day
It was a tiny old lady that was probably nearly blind - or a joke - but still  |

When you used to buy 2 star petrol, it was about 60p a litre.
Motorbikes had 2 stroke engines.
There was only 4 channels.
Streets emptied when their favourite tv shows came on, i stead of them being on demand.
You only talked to your mates at school, or when you met up with them afterwards.
You dreaded the words 'wait till your father/mother finds out' |

When you crunch when you get out of bed in a morning.
When your friend’s kids start having kids.
When your pharmacist says “these are for 2 days use only, but you know that”.
When members of bands you liked start doing realityTV.
When you look on IMDB and realise that film was made in 1984.
When there’s a quiz question about the 2016 olympics and you get confused because that’s not for years yet.
When you listen to Prince’s “1999” or Pulp’s “Disco 2000”. |

"You need to write yourself lists for just about everything"
... and then can’t remember where you put the list, and can’t remember a single thing from the list because you wrote it down so you wouldn’t have to remember it.
You go to the shops for one item, don’t need a list for that because you can’t forget the one thing you’re going to the shops for, come back with 2 loaded bags of shopping, wife says “where are the tea bags”, and ... |

"When you sit on your bollocks. "
Ohh I hate that
When you “tape” a programme on Sky
When you have to walk down the stairs sideways coz your right knee crunches
When you try your best to avoid being on the floor coz it might take two people to pick you up
When you think the 1990’s were a few years so
When you can’t get into the back seat or a two-seater car  |

Your kids hold YOUR hand when crossing the road and ask you if you've been to the toilet before going out with you.
My ex-husband and I were going for lunch with our daughter and son-in-law. She double checked our seat belts before getting in the driving seat. I turned to the ex and said "remember when we strapped her in the back?"
My ex-husband was 28 when we met. He was 70 last week!!! |
