I'm sure I've said this before here (or somewhere) but it tickles me so I'll say it again. I used to buy LPs in the 90s as well as CDs and I once bought "With the Beatles", I bought that in 1993 when it was 30 years old. I also bought the new release "August and Everything After" by Counting Crows. Which is now 30 years old. (31!). So that's when I realised I'm ancient.

I was at my new doctor and she told me, I needed to start a new medicine. I said Oh no I take 7 already and then she said It is just a little pill. That shocked me as if she thought I was a small child. I don't use the medicine she prescribed because I lost all trust in her.

I told a younger girl at work “I’ve got t-shirts older than you!” She said “Yeah right!” The next day under my scrubs I wore my 1998 Pearl Jam “Yield” tour shirt. I’ve never been more sad to be right.

I still have a tee shirt from a charity walk in 1988. I only wear it at home.

My moment came when I was in my early 30's and was out on the town of an evening. I was seeing these young women wearing short skirts in winter and instead of thinking they looked hot, I was worried that they might be cold.

My first “I’m old” moment was when I realized, as a pharmacy technician, I was filling birth control pills for people who hadn’t been born when I graduated from high school. The second was a few years later, when I realized I was filling birth control for people who hadn’t been born when I graduated from COLLEGE.

I remember the exact moment i transitioned into adult. Some neighbourhod kids were kicking their soccer ball against our new fence at the place i rented. They were excited that if they kicked hard enough they could dent it. I had to lean out and say 'Can you kids do that somewhere else!'. "Sorry Mister." They ran off, taking the last of my youth with them.....

Seven years ago I went to see Mike Watt play in Brooklyn. I looked at the audience and thought, "why do all these old people have such cool T-shirts?" They were my age

When you find yourself buying, eating and enjoying those "weird" foods you wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole when you were younger. Things like Blue Cheese, brussels sprouts, and dark chocolate.

I just crawled under a desk to replace some cables. Suspect I won't be doing that again.

I met my niece, when she was a child. My husband and I were dating and I met all his nieces and nephews. I felt old on her wedding day and older yet when she made me a grand-aunt. 20 years is a generation, but I have an 11 year old and she has a 2 year old.

For me, it was when I realized I was older than the DJ's on the radio. Having said that, I disagree about modern music - I still enjoy the classics, (Beatles, Led Zep, Pink Floyd, etc), but Dave Matthews was great when they came along, and Billie Eilish and Backseat Lovers are pretty phenomenal now.

The first one was probably the girl that was chasing me when I realized that I was double her age AND she was legal. She was cute but looked about 12 from my view.

I'm now working with new employees who I remember as toddlers and babies...either I'm too old, or I've been working there too long...but most likely both. I'll be over the hill when they get married and have kids too. Happily I'll be retired by the time that set start work.

I've been a night owl all my life. I takes me a week to get over having to get up at 0530 for an early doctor appointment. I make the early appointment (0730) so he's not backed up yet.

Consider, perhaps, studying Aikido. One sensei at my friend's dojo is 94 and still teaching. Very few injuries.
