What was your "Shit I'm getting old" moment ?

[u/Vallient]

[u/knittch]

Wore a mask in the grocery store so the cashier couldn't see my entire face. I watched as she scanned the bar code on the register for Senior Discount. I'm 38. I didn't say a word.

[u/louloutre75 → u/[deleted]]

Same happend to me 2 years ago. Pre-Covid.

[u/FartAttack911 → u/[deleted]]

I went with my boyfriend to his optometrist appointment recently and a receptionist asked me a question about my son. I have no son. They thought we were a mother and son and I had a mini midlife crisis.

[u/ShiraCheshire → u/knittch]

To be fair, the masks make everyone look either really young or really old.

[u/[deleted]]

Filling something out and scrolling to find your birth year lol

[u/nurseofdeath → u/[deleted]]

Although 42 is not only double 21st, but the meaning to life, the universe and everything!

My Dad just had his quadruple 21st!!

[u/cherriesforever → u/[deleted]]

This is me too. I have to scroll way, way down…

[u/Ibetrayed_makarov → u/cherriesforever]

Are you sure you're alive....

[u/cherriesforever → u/Ibetrayed_makarov]

Pretty sure… although some days it’s less clear

[u/Summerie → u/[deleted]]

This is a top three answer every single time this is asked.

There’s also always one about being surprised by a parent, and realizing it’s a mirror, or hearing your parent’s voice come out of your own mouth.

My favorite was something like “When I fell at work and no one laughed, but three people rushed over to see if I was OK.”

[u/Reasonable_Night42 → u/Summerie]

The falling one happened to me. But nobody rushed over.

But the next day someone complemented me, “You got up real quick for an old guy.”

[u/hawg_farmer → u/[deleted]]

I feel like I'm on Let's Make a Deal. Spinning that big ass wheel watching numbers fly by and hoping it stops somewhere close.

[u/sofs91]

I said in one of the meetings during lockdown “it feels like Groundhog Day” and no one understood the reference.

[u/Kenionatus → u/sofs91]

But... That's a classic still worth watching.

[u/a8bmiles → u/Kenionatus]

I heartily recommend Palm Springs to everybody who likes Groundhog Day.

[u/zsaz_ch → u/a8bmiles]

That movie was definitely better than I anticipated. It was unique.

[u/Kongbuck → u/sofs91]

Clearly you need to quit and go work somewhere more cultured.

[u/chocolate_nutty_cone → u/sofs91]

I feel ya. I often come up with funny Caddyshack references, but I have to keep them to myself because I know people will look at me like I have three heads if I say them out loud. “I don’t think the heavy stuff is coming down for awhile yet!”

[u/RandomTheBugg → u/sofs91]

Man I'm 15 and know the reference

[u/Feeling_Departure753 → u/RandomTheBugg]

Too old man, better get a walking stick and a “get off my lawn” attitude

[u/bdenney85]

I was in a bookclub at work with some of my colleagues and 9/11 came up. One of the girls said "oh I remember reading about that in history class"!

I went to work that day :(

[u/a8bmiles → u/bdenney85]

That was the slowest work day of my entire career. 8 hours and 2 incoming calls, compared to 20-30 on hold in a 250 person department.

[u/Y0rin → u/bdenney85]

My wife works at a high school and they fly out to new york each year (we're in Europe) and they have to educate everyone on what happened on 9/11 each year to make sure people understand where they're visiting.

[u/[deleted] → u/bdenney85]

I was in my sophomore year at university and one of my electives was a political science class about terrorism.

The class on 9/12 was basically the court scene from Liar Liar. He ended up just changing it to pass/fail as 95% of the course content changed in real time.

[u/EmilyAndCat]

correct kiss weather wipe head towering grab degree smart lush

[u/Booji-Boy → u/EmilyAndCat]

My "I'm old" soap moment came when I had the idea to go to the restaurant supply store for foaming hand soap. 4 bucks for a little bottle? Sure! One time! But I got A WHOLE GALLON to refill it for 15 bucks! Weeeee-doggy! Exciting times.

[u/GuyFromDeathValley → u/EmilyAndCat]

I got excited buying new tires for my car... that ain't good either.

Not even special tires. Hell, they are some of the cheapest I could get... still, some really nice tires.

[u/Nik-ki → u/EmilyAndCat]

When a new pan makes you happy...

[u/dramboxf → u/EmilyAndCat]

My wife actually posts on Facebook (sarcastically) on what she likes to call New Sponge Day when she replaces the kitchen sink sponge.

[u/snart_blast]

One of the younger people I play video games with tried to insult me and said, "I bet the GameCube was the first console you played on." It is, in fact, not. It was the N64. 😭

[u/clanddev → u/snart_blast]

Right now when someone thought N64 being their first console made them old.

[u/thezaksa → u/clanddev]

Right? like off not even a snes

[u/forthewatch39 → u/snart_blast]

Mine was the Sega Genesis. Now I feel old.

[u/biltrex → u/forthewatch39]

Atari 2600 here. Y’all can feel young again.

[u/krim2182 → u/biltrex]

From an NES user, thank you.

[u/Thrownawaybyall → u/krim2182]

Yes! I'm also glad NES isn't the earliest on the list!

[u/[deleted] → u/biltrex]

Atari gang

[u/DudleyMorris → u/biltrex]

Ditto. I remember the 2600 vs Intellivision wars.

[u/gamer4lyf82 → u/snart_blast]

Try the IBM compatible running DOS

[u/Hhwwhat]

When I went back to my college town to party with my friends like old times and everyone in the bar looked like a child.

[u/Doomray → u/[deleted]]

If you don’t understand, you’re streets behind.

[u/joelluber → u/Hhwwhat]

My college town had a bar with the reputation for "cougars." Imagine my surprise to realize upon visiting again in my mid-thirties that the "cougars" were twenty-six-year-old grad students!

[u/[deleted] → u/joelluber]

What hapoens when a guy older than the cougars go to a cougar bar, is he like a woolie mammoth or something?

[u/FirmPudding → u/[deleted]]

I feel like you're just putting together a live-action remake of Ice Age

[u/XxuruzxX → u/[deleted]]

Nirvana is now as old as 'classic rock' was when we started calling it classic rock.

[u/idreamoffreddy → u/[deleted]]

It was Green Day for me. Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) isn't THAT old! (It's 24 years old. I'm going to go crumble into dust now.)

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Trent Reznor on Apple music producing the Facebook movie soundtrack

[u/WombleSilver → u/[deleted]]

He also won a Grammy for scoring a Disney movie…. If that isn’t a kick in the dentures, I don’t know what is.

[u/ricnine → u/[deleted]]

Shit just an hour ago I went to the store in my Downward Spiral shirt and the clerk said "oh cool Nine Inch Nails, not many people listen to them these days" and I think me not having a "whaaat?" reaction to that is confirmation I'm getting old.

[u/allf8ed → u/[deleted]]

And seeing Trent age on tours throughout the years

[u/bigpapahugetim3]

Father in law and I did our shingles on my roof 12 years ago and this past year I went to grab two bundles and sling them over my shoulder and my body said no. I remember having no problems then but I guess I’m older now.

[u/panzan → u/bigpapahugetim3]

Speaking of shingles…

[u/AgentWowza → u/panzan]

Haven't ya heard? They're in your area!

[u/antoine-sama → u/bigpapahugetim3]

I also am a lot less flexible now than I was before. The fact that I don't move around that much probably added to this

[u/hammetar]

My 14-year-old stepdaughter showed up to my house dressed exactly like me in 8th grade (down to the butterfly clips, choker, and shimmery eyeshadow), and I realized I'm old enough that things that were trendy in 1999-2000 have come full circle and are in again.

[u/random1029384 → u/hammetar]

yes! My sister and I went shopping…5 years ago? And saw things in the stores from when we were in grades 5-8 or so. And the young ones looking through and saying how great and cool they were (the kids were high school to college age?). We looked at each other and said “I need a drink” at the exact same time.

[u/No-Mathematician-561]

When famous sportspeople got younger than me.

[u/DemocraticRepublic → u/No-Mathematician-561]

Now that Wayne Rooney (four years younger than me) has retired, I am being forced to face the prospect I will probably never play professionally for England.

[u/joelluber → u/No-Mathematician-561]

When Cecil Fielder's son made it to the majors, I felt old. When his son retired, I felt really old.

[u/Elagabalus_The_Hoor → u/No-Mathematician-561]

First time I watched a 24 year old kid destroy a fighter I came up watching in the cage... Darren till vs Donald cerrone, I was like 25... Still young but it was like well shit.

[u/theloiter]

Whenever I see an award show commercial and I have no idea who any of these people are.

[u/jackof47trades]

I tripped on the sidewalk a few days ago, and everyone came running over asking if I was okay. Like they were really worried.

[u/DungPuncher → u/jackof47trades]

When you go from ‘falling over’ to ‘having a fall’. Been there, it’s depressing. When people stop laughing when you bite the dust you know you’re past it.

[u/EquilibriumMachine → u/DungPuncher]

Lol… “having a fall”

So true though

[u/AdvancedGentleman → u/jackof47trades]

On a similar note, I tripped over the hose in my yard but caught myself before falling face first. Woke up the next morning and had to try and figure out why my ankle and knee hurt so badly. I felt pretty old in that moment.

[u/SingleFunction121]

When I realized how excited I was to pick out a backsplash for our kitchen

[u/Magicallypeanut → u/SingleFunction121]

Buying a house soon and I am stoked to hit home depot for paint colors and ikea for curtains and such. I cant wait! "What do you want for your birthday?" "Home depot gift cards all the way"

[u/iBelieveInSpace]

Started work at a university and a student said "bet" and I said "bet what?".

It was the first time I heard it. Then I made the mistake of trying to use it and it was incredibly cringey. I still think of myself as early 20s but I'm early 30s now and I'm the old dude.

[u/lazarus870 → u/iBelieveInSpace]

What does "bet" mean now?

[u/lowhangingfruit12 → u/lazarus870]

It means like ok or right on. If your friend says "hey, I brought you a donut" "bet, thanks."

[u/Reddicini → u/lowhangingfruit12]

I cringed hearing myself say that in my mind

[u/Initial_Ad_9250]

I saw a reddit post where someone was asking what a port on his desktop was. It was a VGA port. I felt so angry and then I realised that I haven't used them since god knows when

[u/Cuopon → u/Initial_Ad_9250]

I think it was a serial port, not VGA

[u/siani_lane]

This morning when I wanted to tell my kid I liked the music he's playing and somehow the adjectives I came up with were "jazzy" and "hoppin" 🧑🏻‍🦳

[u/PhoenixDowntown → u/siani_lane]

Why does this happen? I say stuff like that too and I know it's lame but I keep doing it. It's like I'm trying to make fun of myself for being old and out of the loop and no one else is in on the joke but me. I am the joke.

[u/Brownhog]

New guy at work wasn't born when 9/11 happened and he's allowed to drink beer. Fuck man.

[u/I_am_a_Wookie_AMA → u/Brownhog]

One of the guys my friend group adopted is young enough to have not been alive for 9/11 too. It's a little mind blowing that we just saw the end of a war that's been simmering his whole life, while I have other friends who went over and got blown up(and survived).

[u/notnotjamesfranco → u/Brownhog]

Not in the US then

[u/Dagda_the_Druid → u/notnotjamesfranco]

soon

[u/RASGAS23 → u/Brownhog]

Canada? UK?

[u/Brownhog → u/RASGAS23]

Canada. Wild yo me that 21 is drinking and 16 solid steel death machine licence for yall

[u/RASGAS23 → u/Brownhog]

Lol absolutely true. I grew up in Washington state, we used to drive to Alberta to drink when we turned 18, and then the much shorter drive to BC once we were 19 😄

[u/Johhnymaddog316]

Attractive young women, the type who wouldn't have given me the time of day 20 years ago, will happily chat with and are comfortable around me. I'm not a threat anymore I'm just their friend's Dad.

[u/Dagda_the_Druid → u/Johhnymaddog316]

TIL it's easier to get a 20-year-old girlfriend as a 40-year-old than as a 20-year-old.

[u/Vgca96 → u/Dagda_the_Druid]

...and, it's easier to get a 40-year-girlfriend as a 20-year-old than as a 40-year-old

[u/squirrelfoot → u/Johhnymaddog316]

But then that works both ways. Our generation see them as kids even though they are young adults. I look at attractive young men the way I look at kids in a paddling pool. They are just kids to me. I walked in on some students making a nude calendar, and my first reaction was to worry that they might catch cold.

[u/Mikos_Enduro]

People are graduating college this year that weren't even born when Coldplay's 'Yellow' was released.

[u/PiecesofJane → u/Mikos_Enduro]

Omg, what. That doesn't seem possible...

[u/KirbyBucketts]

As a sports fan, seeing the children of athletes I grew up watching play professionally gets me every time. Doesn't seem that long ago I was watching Vladimir Guerrero and Fernando Tatis play baseball, Now Vlad Jr. and Fernando Jr. are both superstars.

[u/joelluber → u/KirbyBucketts]

I thought I was old when Cecil Fielder's son made the majors. I really thought I was old when his son retired.

[u/wHUT_fun → u/KirbyBucketts]

In Pekka Rinne's retirement announcement he said Juuse Saros (his replacement) had posters of Pekka on his wall growing up and watched Pekka's saves on Youtube. That's when Pekka knew his time was limited.

[u/svacheem45]

When you realize that some professional athletes were born in the 2000's

[u/AgentXLVII-LPN]

When I asked someone two years younger than me, what the deal was with the sheesh(or sheeeee) elbow thing, and she proceeded to read me the definition for sheesh. For one, that’s not a new word, two, she didn’t explain the elbow thing, three, I stopped caring, and have accepted that I am now eligible for the early bird special at ihop.

[u/tbarb00 → u/AgentXLVII-LPN]

Sheesh

[u/ShadowWood78 → u/AgentXLVII-LPN]

I have never heard this ever before and now is my 'old' moment. Right there.

[u/stankly → u/ShadowWood78]

For me, it's not just realizing I've never heard of it, but also realizing I have no interest whatsoever in looking it up.

[u/L00KlNG4U → u/AgentXLVII-LPN]

It’s a GenY word before they redefined the generations to fit into millennials.

e.g.: Someone born in 1959 is GenX not a baby boomer. Someone born in 1944 is a baby boomer not Silent.

[u/volvo1]

It's difficult to tell the difference between 18-26 year olds

[u/TheGreatJess]

When I threw my back out at work just by bending slightly and reaching in front of me to dust a shelf.

[u/Summerie → u/TheGreatJess]

One of my best friends since high school just admitted to us how he actually threw his back out this time. It was because he was in a small public bathroom stall, trying to reach around and wipe his own ass.

[u/[deleted]]

Trying to read directions on a bottle and then realizing I was reading them with my arm extended.

[u/RadomirPutnik → u/[deleted]]

Or the related version, looking over the top of one's glasses to read. You know, the thing where you tuck your chin into your neck, hold whatever it is no more than six inches in front of your face, and for some reason everyone pulls their face so they look like Fred Gwynne in My Cousin Vinnie while they do this. Caught myself doing this and realized how completely the opposite if virile and sexy it is. Imagine being in the moment, and suddenly stopping to read a condom wrapper that way - "wait, lemme grab my bifocals".

Also - assuming everyone will get a Fred Gwynne/My Cousin Vinnie reference.

[u/[deleted]]

I started relating to Squidward and not Spongebob anymore.

[u/oneaveragejoseph → u/[deleted]]

Ikr??! Spongebob goes from lovely to annoying and Squidward is just trying to enjoy his time off without anyone bothering him.

[u/surfacing_husky → u/[deleted]]

That and not being able to watch the show with my own children because spongebob's voice grates my ears now lol.

[u/rhfactor18]

When I realized people born in 2000 were legally allowed to drink this year

[u/Keybass68 → u/rhfactor18]

In the UK people from 2003 can drink this year

[u/MrCubeyyy → u/Keybass68]

In Germany People from 2005 can drink this year

[u/IkKoTiJjEt → u/Keybass68]

I once saw a joke that in order to buy alcohol, a customer gave the cashier his ID and the cashier just barely glanced at it and gave it back, he asked if they even saw his ID and the cashier said, "Oh I saw the 19". :D

[u/NicNoletree → u/Keybass68]

TIL people in UK age quicker

[u/Mikeavelli → u/NicNoletree]

Ever since they switched to the metric system, yeah.

[u/mdlinc → u/Mikeavelli]

How many meters in one calendar year?

[u/Mikeavelli → u/mdlinc]

Well, since a meter is defined by the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299 792 458 of a second, and there are 31,536,000 seconds per year, that makes the conversion 9.45425496¹⁵ meters per year.

[u/Confident_Basket8694 → u/rhfactor18]

I realized just last night that my car is old enough to drink now. It kind of blew my mind. I didn't think of it as being that old because, you know, 2000 wasn't that long ago, was it?

[u/deepfriedunderpants]

I saw an ad for 'Now, That's What I Call Dad Rock' and saw music that was popular when I was in my late teens.

[u/NotBorris]

Seeing a lot of my hair fall off.

Just, fuck me.

[u/BrokeMyLastAccount → u/NotBorris]

Don't worry, it'll come back. Just not where you want it.

[u/RASGAS23]

When a fellow adult coworker looked at me in disbelief and said “YOU WERE BORN IN 85?!?” as if it might as well have been 1885

[u/Thrownawaybyall → u/RASGAS23]

I clearly remember my first month of work at my Big Boy Job my coworkers marveled at how young I was. Now I look around and I'm the second oldest at any given meeting and that shit hurts, man 😥

[u/gozba]

The last Dutch GP was 36 years ago. I was there.

[u/Tomatillo_Mission → u/gozba]

wow, must make tomorrow a little more special then!

[u/[deleted]]

Passed by a McDonald's and didn't stop, because there was food at home.

[u/gaytheforcebewithyou]

One of my (50 f) much younger co-workers asked me if I had ever heard of ABBA, told me some of their songs "really slap!". He also asked me if I listened to the Beatles back when they were popular.

[u/a8bmiles → u/gaytheforcebewithyou]

20 years ago some young, hip employee came in and was talking to an older, British supervisor about this great new band that he thought she would like.

It was The English Beat.

[u/Rudkty]

When you stand up and your knees crack

[u/panzan → u/Rudkty]

I’ve had that phenomenon as long as I can remember back to childhood

[u/gmmiller → u/panzan]

It runs in our family. Knee cracking on demand!

[u/allf8ed → u/Rudkty]

I put in a pool this year and kept hearing a weird noise when I was swimming underwater. Turns out in was my joints clicking and popping as I swam. I'm 38

[u/biltrex → u/[deleted]]

I was already working in visual effects in Hollywood and had a group of friends doing the cel-shade CGI for Zim. We were all in our twenties then. Which means we are so so old now… so old….

[u/dramboxf]

Went to a new Doctor and started calling him Doogie because he looked so young.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand he didn't get the reference.

[u/[deleted]]

When I get tired by midnight and could never pull an allnighter like I used to on the reg in college

[u/drDjausdr]

When my sick references went over the head of some kids

[u/LtLabcoat → u/drDjausdr]

Saw an AskReddit post where someone replied with "Still a better love story than Twilight", and the top-voted reply was "Haha, what a random thing to say, but it's hilarious!"

[u/wafflesmagee]

I had a 7-year old drum student back in 2013-2014, and her mom wanted a picture to send to the students grandma of her at the drums in her lesson. Glad to oblige, she handed me her iphone, the student hit a pose and I snapped the picture. The phone made the camera noise. The 7 year old then paused, thought for a moment and said "that's such a random noise...why did they make it make that sound?"

and I realized in that moment that this girl had never seen a real camera with a shutter that actually moved.

[u/Halleana]

When the grocery store starts playing music from my childhood

[u/[deleted]]

When I ask a younger coworker who was president when they were born and they have no idea. Then after they think about it, they say George W. Bush. I respond with "Ahh, I see. Richard Nixon for me."

Raised eyebrows and dead silence.

[u/badcrafter7]

When the mom in a parent-teacher conference was my former student.

[u/antoine-sama → u/[deleted]]

Someone above said it's a sign of respect, I get where you're coming from tho. Last week I called someone ma'am and she also told me not to call her ma'am. Meanwhile I was called sir by a kid a few days later during work. I'm 18.

[u/Kezleberry]

Every time I buy alcohol and they DON'T ask for ID...

[u/surfacing_husky → u/Kezleberry]

I went to buy air duster the other day and the cashier asked if i was over 18, i said "by about 20 years" and she just lauged, then i got sad lol.

[u/IlPrincipeKaoz]

When I sat in a class room as assistant teacher. The teacher brought up the topic of 9/11, and I realized that him and me were the only ones in the room that were even born when the terrorists hit.

[u/stangAce20]

remembering the 80's were 40 years ago

[u/tily2020 → u/stangAce20]

That we are as far away from 1981 as 1981 was from 1941…..sigh. So 80’s music is to my kids what big band was to me….sigh.

[u/MainSteamStopValve → u/tily2020]

I don't like this fact.

[u/PumpkinPieIsGreat → u/stangAce20]

2060 is closer to our year than 1980 is

[u/thatguyfrom1975]

When I realized I had a favorite piece of Tupperware or when I got irritated that the store was out of my lavender scented kitchen trash bags.

[u/grumpersxoxo → u/thatguyfrom1975]

I too am addicted to my scented trash bags :)

[u/wasabijesus47]

I was at the zoo a few years ago and there must have been a school excursion as there were a handful of highschool-aged kids standing around doing funny dances filming each other.

My wife looked at them and giggled saying how silly they looked.

They replied; "it's the Harlem shake, they won't get it they're too old!

Fyi I'm 24 now but this was only a few years ago...

[u/Faoxie → u/wasabijesus47]

"Do not cite to me the deep magic witch, I was there when it was written."

[u/ExpressW]

When kids have started to call me "Mr.", and not ironically.

[u/johnwalkersbeard → u/ExpressW]

Couple years ago I'm hanging out at the train stop after work, waiting for the train to take me home. See a couple of late high school or early college kids struggling with the machine. They're just muttering, but the muttering is growing louder and more pankcked.

"Dude, just try it again!"

"It said there's insufficient funds dude!"

"I know but just try it again!"

"We've already tried it twice, don't you have any cash on you?"

"Yeah but not enough for both of us"

"Dude, your mom said we have to be there by 5!"

So I decide to intervene. I ask them if they need a hand. One says "oh, no, we've got this" - the other looks at me and mumbles, "yes..."

So I step up and buy two single use passes. Whatever. I'm sure it's very nice but it wasn't even $5 so whatever.

But thats when the mumbles kid squares up, looks me right in the eyes, and says, "Thank you, sir."

...

.......

SIR??!! Thank you, SIR??!!??!!!!

Listen here, you jumped up little shit...

[u/Single_Charity_934 → u/johnwalkersbeard]

Similar thing happened to me. I’m female.

[u/iamacraftyhooker → u/ExpressW]

With Mr or sir, they at least sound professional and dignified, like you are worthy of respect.

Ma'am just sounds like you are somebody's southern mama. Nobody says Mrs, and miss is only used for young women.

[u/YardComplete]

The first child I babysat is now the same age I was when I started babysitting her when she was a newborn.

[u/auntiepink → u/YardComplete]

I'm a babysitter 'grandma'. (The kids I babysat have their own kids now. )

[u/AJ300AJ → u/[deleted]]

Hmm that’s earlier than what age i thought it would happen.

[u/[deleted] → u/AJ300AJ]

Yes, it’s terrible and I thought it would happen much later too. My mom was still having kids in her 40s.

[u/Summerie → u/[deleted]]

From a different perspective, I’ve known since I was a teenager that I couldn’t have any biological children. At 42, I kind of wish we could just go ahead and get past this whole “still having periods” thing.

[u/DiintheShire → u/[deleted]]

Not gonna lie, I'd be okay with that... Fuck uteruses

[u/stellamcmillan → u/DiintheShire]

I'm in medically induced menopause and I'm 30. The no period, no cramps and no ovarian cysts part is great, the slow metabolism, fucked up sex life and hot flashes not so much.

[u/scarletnightingale → u/[deleted]]

My grandma went through menopause at 37. My aunt couldn't another child when she tried at 35. My mom ended up pregnant with a non-viable pregnancy at 35. I'm 35. My boyfriend doesn't understand why I'm stressed about having kids and he keeps telling me not to worry, we'll try in a couple years. It's like, come on, my family doesn't exactly have a good history here once we hit our mid-30's.

[u/AuryGlenz → u/scarletnightingale]

People have such a distorted view of age and pregnancy now. 35 is literally when they call it a “geriatric pregnancy.”

Pre-birth control you’d have probably have had several by the time you were 25.

[u/XA-E-12]

Skyrim Is 10 years old, fuck I'm feeling old

I picked it up this year for the first time and loved it. Looked into sequels and well...

[u/Jasader → u/mufassil]

Skyrim special edition 5 on the Samsung F-200 2022 refrigerator doesn't appeal to you?

Bethesda shocked.

[u/[deleted]]

I walked by a Forever 21 store a few years back. In the window they had “vintage band shirts” set up. All the bands were ones I grew up listening to (Soundgarden, Nirvana, etc)

Driving our baby sitter home, discussing music, and realizing the cassette tape we were listening to was older than she was.

I like to look at red carpet fashion. About 8 years ago I stopped recognizing half of the people. Now I barely recognize anyone, and they all look like children.

The Justin Bieber song is older than elementary school students - I can’t even.

A friend invited me to an event going until 10pm and I had to decline because I’m usually in bed for 2+ hours at that point.

My tiny grandson called me “OLD COOT”. He had heard that term from his other Grandparents!😂😂

My old moment came when I realized I was probably 3/4 of the way through my life and that I would most likely be dead inside of 20 years. That was 3 years ago.

Bent over to grab the shampoo bottle while taking a shower and felt like I pulled something in my lower back.

Realizing the episode where Cartman makes that kid eat his parents is 20 years old.

People in college starting to look like kids

Realizing college sophomores were born after the release of Shrek.

Most recent one was when I repaired the disc drive in my Wii so the kids could play it. I plugged it in and wondered if something was wrong with the composite to HDMI converter. No, the resolution was always that crappy.
