Top 10 signs you're getting old.
I looked in the mirror today. I need a nose hair trimmer.
Anybody else?

You're asked for proof of age when buying alcohol and actually find it flattering.

You celebrate your birthday and the number feels surreal.

Re: Top 10 signs you're getting old.
I'm only 25 and my ears are starting to grow hair... not a good sign!
I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

You find yourself yelling at those "whippersnappers" to get off your lawn.

Re: Top 10 signs you're getting old.
Nothing makes you feel older than a parent dying. Nothing. I could go bald tomorrow and still not feel the same way.

I guess I wouldn't agree, but I lost my mother when I was a teenager. She wasn't old herself.
I've been going grey since I was in middle school, but I still let the whippersnappers run around on my lawn. One day I'm going to snap though.

I feel old when someone says: "Do you remember 10 years ago.....?" And you do remember

10 is easy.
it's when they ask about something you did 30 years ago and you can't remember and know you were old enough that you should have.

Re: Top 10 signs you're getting old.
I'll be thirty-three this year. And since I'm going to live to be a hundred and nine, I feel fine!
But, the back pain, the shoulder pain, the reaction to some foods that I eat and having more hair on my ears than on my head, sometimes makes me feel old.

When I look at other people and think they are old, then realize they are my age.

Re: Top 10 signs you're getting old.
I usually just yank my nose hairs out. It's sadistically pleasing.
Here's my contribution to the thread...
Girls you think are hot are way too young for you (but still legal).

When folks who have posted here more than twice as much as you have are less than half your age.
