when the 2 year old cashier at the grocery store (ok, so maybe she was 16) specifically TELLS you you're old.


cashier: "so how long have you had that piercing for?"

me: "ummm. . ." (frantic mental math, a sure sign of old age) "about 10, no 12, actually almost 13 years"

cashier: "wow, you're OLD".

thanks a lot. now ring up my sh*t!!

pfft. One morning i was throwing up like clock work every 15 minutes after the drunkest night i've ever had in my life. To everyone who was not present the night before~i had a stomach virus. I'm not so sure that wasn't the case anyway

...when you're carded and the bartender has a mild stroke when he sees the birthdate on your drivers license. Happened to me last year.

I know I am old when 1987 produced some of the best albums I still listen to on a near daily basis (ie-Whitesnake "Whitesnake"), so that's 20 years ago and man I can't stand it...

Don't get me started on having grey hair since I was 20 years old...

... when the kids these days don't even know what a cassette is, let alone a record. Damned uncultured children...

[catinthedark]

... you realize your mum had THREE children by this point in her life, aged 10, 7, and 4.

and mum didn't have her kids when she was a kid.

You know you're old when: you no longer find funny all the jokes on Saturday Night Live, because you don't understand why they are funny.
