She wanted to take a walk around the neighborhood. I wish she would have chosen a warmer day but it is what it is.

I'm just being nosy with my Psych major background that I've never used in the workforce. People's ability to small talk interests me as it's not something that comes to me naturally. Never would've occurred to me to tell people what places used to be what but maybe I'm just not old enough yet.

 

[Irobot82]

When you make a noise every time to stand up or sit down.

 

[mindfreak191]

When you compare price/performance between different brands of toilet paper.

 

[ReBurn]

When I turned 25 and realised I was older than most of the famous celebrities

You were still watching Disney channel at 25?

 

[Dr. Suchong]

When your PlayStation 1 starts to turn yellow

My Super Nintendo is yellow.
Hold me....

 

[Dr. Suchong]

When your knees make sounds like a well known puffed rice cereal.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

When your balls start to look more and more like a boxing glove.

 

[22:22:22]

I see more and more of my father in me each year

 

[22:22:22]

If I'd use a dating app there's 80% change the women have kids around 13.


I'd rather date a woman 5 to 10 years younger. For various reasons.

The music you grew up with is now on the oldies station.

How old are you

 

[22:22:22]

82? Ok same age. I don't listen to radio though..

 

[jufonuk]

I’m starting to give less of a fuck what people think of me (those I don’t really know etc) care only about family and friends’ opinions etc.
Also things like having to get up in the middle of the night to pee and the usual thing of parts of me hurt now lol my back sometimes. It clicks a lot also weight loss is slow.

Oh and now I sometimes have to remove my glasses to look at small print up close.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

When no matter what position you slept in, you wake up with a stiff neck.

My Super Nintendo is yellow.
Hold me....

Most SNESes started yellowing by the year 2K, to be honest.

isnt the remedy to bathe the snes in peroxide

 

[Raven117]

Your tastebuds develop more and food is way more awesome

 

[Rival]

I wake up to pee 2-3 times a night and can’t drink without horrible hangovers anymore but I’m also finally hitting 6 figures so whatever.

 

[Putonahappyface]

The sudden acceleration of hair growth from my nose, ears and eyebrows is a unwanted surprise at 40.

 

[nani17]

When I make a random noise when trying to pick something off the ground

 

[SubZero_Wins]

You've been having severe hair loss.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

When you start downloading Estate Planning docs.

 

[TronNerd82]

How old are you

I'm under 30, I just listen to a lot of old music. Mainly old metal.

 

[Another Iori]

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

When policemen start looking young.

 

[Quasicat]

..All those family friends you grew up with start dying off.

For me, the realization came last year when I went to my friends’ parent’s funerals. Mine are still alive, and I’ve made a conscientious decision to help them out as much as possible and hang out with them more before I lose them too.

 

[Lord Panda]

When policemen start looking young.

And teachers look like kids.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

When you get excited buying mundane items.
I felt immense satisfaction with the purchase of a feather duster which made a point of enticing potential buyers with the fact it was made with recycled materials.

 

[poppabk]

When your kids regularly whup your ass at video games.
Also when that thing that 'just came out' is from 10 years ago.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

When you hurt you back 3 weeks ago and your still in pain now.

 

[WhamBamThankYouMaam]

You start realizing why weight lifting is important - and it is not aesthetics.

 

[BigDeadFreak]

Someone started chatting to me at the gym a couple of years ago. I remember thinking 'why is that old man talking to me? He must be in his 40s' I then realised that I was 39 and near enough the same age as him.

 

[22:22:22]

When no matter what position you slept in, you wake up with a stiff neck.

Same here. Although it's not my neck.




And yes like someone else here mentioned; when the police, doctors etc start to look young. Very weird haha.

isnt the remedy to bathe the snes in peroxide

Think you're right. I have watched some channels in the past. Looks brand new afterwards.

 

[22:22:22]

Have you tried different pillows, psychical therapy? They may be able to find the origin or something?

NeoIkaruGAF

Btw I know it sucks, i wake up with shoulder "pain". Granted it's still not totally recovered so if i lay on it on a certain way the feeling can wake me up.

 

[Lunarorbit]

The summer before the pandemic I decided to go to some of my old hangout spots in NYC mainly on the Lower East Side and areas around that and they are all high end boutiques or chains. The old hole in the wall clubs and record shops are gone.

All the oldest bars and hangout spots in Boston are/have been getting torn down. New Orleans still has a lot of old spots open even though Katrina shut lots of places down.

 

[Lunarorbit]

When the youngsters in work are heading out to techno festivals talking about the DJs and I'm like who? And then they play some tune on their phones and I just walk away thinking what a pile o bollocks, back in my day techno made your nose bleed, eyes pop and you'd drop 5stone when you left the club through 8hrs of dancing and mountains of drugs... Nowadays they whiff some fucking canister of laughing gas shite and stand around trying to look insta-cool in whatever brand is currently doing the rounds... What's happened to taps aff?

Where have all the whiiiippppets gooooonnnne.

That was a good 90s jam.




Say "where have all the cowboys gone" is a good 90s jam? Jail.

 

[nightmare-slain]

I thought I was going to die the other day when I bent down to reach something. My right knee was in so much pain lol I was cursing and swearing. Later on my left knee was giving me trouble.

Once the knees start to go you know you're getting old. I swear one day I'm going to go down for something and never be able to stand up again

You've been having severe hair loss.

I was 16 when my hair started falling out. Puberty had only just fucked off and I was looking like my grandad already

 

[Billbofet]

My neighbor's son is a unsupervised, destructive maniac. I have witnessed him throwing rocks at his father's pickup, trying to rip siding off his house, clubbing his sister with a shovel, and urinating on a corner fire hydrant. I often watch him from my office out of pure fascination. When he comes near my house, I almost always have to tell him to leave and go home. This literally makes me an old man yelling at someone to get off his lawn.

 

[Ironbunny]

When you make sounds while lacing your shoes.

 

[Facism]

When you cycle past the local skate park and the kids are listening to that horrible mumble-rap shit instead of hype-ass punk and metal.

 

[Quasicat]

And teachers look like kids.

You’re not kidding. It used to be a fun discussion with staff on where you were when Kennedy was shot, the Challenger explosion, etc. We now have staff members that do not remember 9/11 because they were toddlers.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

It takes you 3 hours to get drunk but 3 days to feel better.

That's not normal behaviour

 

[Dr. Suchong]

When your pop culture references garner nothing other than blank stares.

When you have a bad sneeze your entire skeleton is feels like it's on fire, your spine decides you have lifelong back problems,

[Batiman]

When you gotta do a little stretch before picking anything up off the floor.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

You get excited about furniture. At least I do now.

 

[JimmyRustler]

For me it’s mostly that I can’t eat whatever I want anymore. Back is good, joints are good, gym training is going well, hair is good (turning a bit gray though), health is good… but my stomach is killing me. Really have to watch what I eat. Perhaps I did a few diets too many. But then again, my mother has had similar digestive issues forever so it might be genetic, who knows.

 

[lachesis]

Working in the news business - I am glad that I have less days to live, than days I've lived so far... seeing what's going on around the world. That makes me feel like I'm old. (And I am old)
Like my old co-worker (passed away about 10+ years ago - bless his soul) used to say - "Stop the train, I want to get off!"

 

[badblue]

The music you grew up with is now on the oldies station.

 

[Winter John]

When your talking to some kid about DJs/rap groups and they never heard of them. Schoolly D? Jungle Brothers? Plastikman? Aphex Twin? Seriously, none of them? Man, what are they teaching you kids in schools these days?
