Ordering my cheeseburger without onions even though I love onions because I don't want to have a stomach ache.
Maybe this isn't really an age thing - but as a youngster I could eat whatever I wanted to and thought the olds were ridiculous with their Tums and Pepto Bismal - but now I get it.

Explaining what an encyclopedia was to my 10 year old 😂😂😂 I made the mistake of telling my almost-5yo "You're like an encyclopedia!" because he is full of facts about space. And then I had to try and explain what an encyclopedia was. |

Getting the urge to paint my dining and living rooms make me feel old. Buying curtains does too. I gave 0 fucks about such things in my 20’s.

We have football season tickets to our local university. Tailgating and going to games makes me feel super old. We also have college FB season tickets; some of the players may have moms my age (36)....or younger. |

I sometime enjoy talk radio better than music.

Speaking of the passage of time, I thought of something that blew my mind the other day, though my husband did not feel the same.
So, like, when I hear about the fashion of the 20s or what a dynamic decade the 40s were, I know that were are talking about the 1920s and the 1940s. Apply this to all decades in the 1900s. My kids (ages 4 and 7) will be growing up having to specify whether they mean the 1920s or the 2020s, etc.
I feel like this didn't happen in previous centuries because of the various media that keeps fashions and trends alive that didn't exist.
It made me feel, like, woah.

Some of these things don't seem like old people things that old people do.
Many seem to be Grown up things that grown ups do. like excited about appliances and not drinking too much.
Technology passing you by, aches and pains and worry of retirement,
now that's old people things,
along with grey hair, and grey eyelashes, now grey eyelashes is OLD. lol.

I don't tend to feel old most of the time, but the one thing I do is complain about the music on the radio, that does make me feel old.

Hanging out on my college campus and realizing that some of those kids are closer to As age than to mine. Yes. I work on a college campus, and the new kids coming in....I could be their mother---and not even an extremely young mother. |

Sorry if I come off as rude,
but some of this is making me laugh.
Ignore me as I'm sitting here shaking my cane at the young whippersnappers
complaining about being old. lol

I work on a college campus, and the new kids coming in....I could be their mother---and not even an extremely young mother. Oh yes. I work on a campus too, and pointed out to my H that if we'd had an "oops" pregnancy the first year we were together we could be dropping off one of those incoming freshman (instead, we're dealing with kindergarten drop offs). And I met H post college, so...
ETA - worst? I am *currently* the age my mother was when I was in college and thought *she* was old. Sigh.

We went to a wedding recently and a friend’s mom said, “I can’t believe you are all grown and married. You are all middle aged now.”

Only watching one episode a night and going to bed. Back in the good old days we could easily get through 4 a night.

If @gentleapricot comes in here with her feeling old BS, I may track her down and shake my fist in her face.
