...you buy a history of house compilation just to reminisce about the old days when you used to go clubbing & be oh so hip & trendy!

...you treat the goldfish you just bought as your babies.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 6 June 2003 14:38 (twenty-two years ago)

..your anus "leaks"

That's also how you know you're a drunk.

...you die of old age.

― NA. (Nick A.), Friday, 6 June 2003 15:07 (twenty-two years ago)

you can't remember whether you liked or disliked "trucker hats" as a hip trend in the early 21st century.

Well, you know you *think* you're old when you start holding on desperately to the age you are right until 11:59pm of the eve of your birthday...

You know you're old when:

You hear about people you used to babysit graduating from high school. Two kids I used to oversee are graduating next May. Ack.

You get nostalgic about your teenaged years. I reminisce on a regular basis.

You start thinking about "these kids today" and "times have sure changed from when I was a young kiddo." Guilty as charged.

You get tremendously excited if you spot a deal for something such as a high-quality Teflon-coated skillet, or indeed any item whatsoever.

At least that's what I can come up with at this moment.

― hstencil, Saturday, 7 June 2003 06:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Poor guy shreiked himself crippled. It should be a lesson to us all.

If he adds a top hat to the ensemble, he'll really be onto something.

― Hank Ten Beer (kenan), Saturday, 7 June 2003 06:29 (twenty-two years ago)

You get grey hairs.

You know you're old when...a premiership manager is appointed, that is younger than yourself (i.e Chris Coleman at Fulham) and also York City appoint a manager that is 6 years younger (i.e 27 year old, Chris Brass)

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Saturday, 7 June 2003 10:36 (twenty-two years ago)

You are suprised that your three year old has the word 'broadband' in her vocabulary.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Saturday, 7 June 2003 10:59 (twenty-two years ago)

(haha when i said this to her she said "overthrow of the bourbons = what my b/f achieves every time we get back from tescos")

You're about to reply to a "You know you're old when..." thread with something from your life and then you think "Nahhh, this won't help me" so you don't.

― nickn (nickn), Sunday, 8 June 2003 04:35 (twenty-two years ago)

You know you're old when you can have sex with someone over 40 without being freaked out by the age difference.

― toraneko (toraneko), Sunday, 8 June 2003 04:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Or you can have sex with someone over 40 and there is no age difference.

― nickn (nickn), Sunday, 8 June 2003 04:57 (twenty-two years ago)

does it matter? fuck it! i dont care about the fact that all the local police are young enough to be my children and i have a grey eyebrow hair that keeps returning no matter how often i pluck the goddamned thing and im referred to 'politely' as an 'older mum' .........well, im lying actually :-(

― donna (donna), Sunday, 8 June 2003 05:56 (twenty-two years ago)

......when you used to watch Screen Test and every year, their Young Filmakers competition was announced, for which the ceiling was 16. Remembering this years later, you realise that not only are you too old to enter, but Screen Test hasn't been on for at least 14 years.

You go and get drunk. in a pub full of young people.

― Jamie Conway (Jamie Conway), Sunday, 8 June 2003 08:27 (twenty-two years ago)

― mark s (mark s), Sunday, 8 June 2003 11:05 (twenty-two years ago)

When you yell at the kids opposite your apartment to turn their music down coz you have to go to work the next day and find muttering to yourself: "I wouldn't mind so much if it didn't all sound the same..." To my shame I have done this!

Yeah but if you were 17 y'd be freaked out. I'm in my 20's too and not freaked out by being with someone in their 40's but I would have been freaked out in my teens.

Me no longer teenager = me old.

....you not only tuck your t-shirt into your trackies but hitch them up to your belly button.

....decide that knee length white socks look great with dress shoes.

....the only shirt you wear is one that has a breast pocket for your glasses.

....complain of the cold in the fierce heat of the summer.

....you begin attending more funerals than birthdays.

....the person you're holding a conversation with, must speak to your left ear only.

― Chris Radford (Chris Radford), Monday, 9 June 2003 05:26 (twenty-two years ago)

...in a record store, you see someone showing a Cypress Hill CD to a little kid and saying "This was what I was listening to when I was your age."

...you almost type the words "Cypress Hill record" in the sentence above.

...you tell someone in your nursing assistant class that you were a massage therapist ten years ago and they say, "Ten years ago, I was still playing with Barbie Dolls."

― Christine 'Green Leafy Dragon' Indigo (cindigo), Tuesday, 10 June 2003 05:03 (twenty-two years ago)

When you ask a teenager about when the upcoming father's day is and the respond "This Sunday, how many children do you have"!!! That stunned the hell out of me.

― John Williams, Tuesday, 10 June 2003 15:00 (twenty-two years ago)

-When you hear a song you loved in the 7th grade played over the in-store radio at the Office Depot while you're shopping for stuff for your 7th grade classroom.
