You are old when..

[pstokely]

You see the stars of your time hawking some collection of CDs on a Time Life infomercial

[Guava Jelly]

1. When you use the phrase

"Of course back then"

[sarge43]

2. "These kids nowadays" is a dead give away.

You look in the mirror one morning and Mom or Dad is looking back at you, worse Grandpa or Grandma.

Your body hair starts migrating.

You hurt in places you didn't know you had.

Some brat asks you, "What was it like back then?"

The ultimate chiller: You find yourself thinking, "This may be the last one of these I buy."

[DarkTirade]

3. Or when you start thinking of the 'kids these days' as 'annoying little punks'.

:P

[sarge43]

6. Yeah. I try to avoid saying or thinking that.

I hated it when I was a kid and/or punk. I do my best to stay with "asshole". It covers all situations and personalities - a word for all seasons.

[DarkTirade]

8. I try... but let's face it...

they ARE annoying little punks most of the time. :P

[sarge43]

9. Truth be told....

:applause::hide:

[littlebit]

4. Or when you tell someone to

pull their damn pants up and get a job.

[trof]

5. "And turn your damn cap around!"

[sarge43]

10. "WTF are you wearing?!" n/t

[NJmaverick]

7. or your favorite songs can be heard on the "oldies" station

[sarge43]

12. When the "oldies" station hasn't ever heard of your favorites

"Whispering Bells? Del Vikings?" (Click)

[av8rdave]

11. When your FAA doc tells you

you have to put "gray" under "hair color" on the forms from now on. :(

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. When you decide to stop buying green bananas.

[AlCzervik]

14. when you care about how much fiber your cereal has.

that's the day i just about lost it in the supermarket, reading the nutritional panels on the cereal boxes to see which one had more fiber per serving and then i thought, omg, when i did i start caring about this?

[MsTryska]

15. even worse...when the Anti-Establishment

music you used to listen to that made you so bad-ass and hardcore is now used as commercial jingles.


The Clash and Iggy - i'm looking at you...you too Cure!!
