My father was 97 in an old peoples' home complaining that every one else there was old...

When doctors, dentists and policemen all look waaaaaaay to young to be on the job

What's even better is when you go to school reunions and think "OMG these old farts look ANCIENT! Glad I don't look like that!" Uh, yeah you do.

For me it happened around 40

Its when police officers seem younger than you are.

I'm 35 later this year, I was 25 when I got "sir"ed the first time by an 18ish year old cashier and I felt old... then having your 17 year younger cousin asking you what a beeper and payphone is will crush your soul

When you refuse to open your mouth because the 12 year old who replaced your old dentist has no business approaching anyone's face with a drill.

At my age, I don't assume ANYONE is older than me.

The worst - at a high school reunion and wondering who the hell all these old people are...lol

If you're the oldest living person in the entire world, that means that every single person that was before you is dead. Safe to say, there's your answer lol

trust me - it isn't 59 .

Wait a minute! That (fill in famous actor's name) is younger than me?

OR MORE MATURE? LOL I AM AND ALWAYS WILL BE A LITTLE KID AT HEART, MAKING FUN OUT OF STUPID THINGS AND BEING GROSS. LOL

I feel this. I'm almost 28, but I was always the youngest in my class in school/college (birthday September 4th and I didn't wait an extra year to start), so it's weird how now there are coworkers that are younger than me.

I'm turning 50 in a few days and I still think this way.

I am wondering about when I realize that sport is too childish for me. Still many main players are in my age but after 5 years, every stars will be younger than me.

When I was in my early 40's and went to my class reunion I was shocked at how old everyone looked. That's when I realized I'm getting old. I'm 56 and okay with my age but so many people are younger than me.

When you're the oldest person on earth

I'm 45 and still assume the adults around me are older. Aside from most in their 20s and they all look to be around 14 to me!

This! I still assume anyone with grey hair is older than me, and I know that's wrong. My hubs started greying at 30 and I'm now pushing 40

Sadly I'm usually the oldest

I'm 41 and not there yet...but I still have grandparents alive in their 90s. My parents recently went to a family reunion on my dad's side where my dad and his cousins were the oldest generation for the first time. When they got home, my dad relayed this to me with a look of shock on his face. He's 74 and I think it had just hit him!

At 50, most adults seem to be kids if they don't have grey hair.

My father was in his eighties and belonged to a men's singing group. He used to say 'We're going to sing for the old people.'

Never. I answer the door and my wife's says "Who was it?" and I say "Some old man or woman" and after she finds out who they were she tells me they are younger than me.

I just turned 30, and I have started to feel this a little. I like watching some streamers and was surprised when I learned that a lot of them are younger than me. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised as streamers are likely to be younger than older, but it still surprised me nevertheless.

Glad it's not just me!!
