You know you’re getting old….

Finish the sentence.

I know I’m getting old when absolutely nobody I work with knows what “the San Francisco treat” refers to.

 

Rice-A-Roni. LOL

 

I just know it every time I get out of bed.

 

The irony is that they STILL make it.

 

I just watched a young couple scooting down the road on a couple of hover boards,
and their young child (maybe 3 or 4) was riding a tiny E-Bike, and I wondered "what's the world coming to?"

 

...when my clothes are back in fashion

(which, of course, presumes that they were ever in fashion.... engineer chic anyone?_

 

And it still has the phrase on the side of the box. Pre-pandemic, the cable cars still advertised the stuff. I haven't been back to SF yet.

 

Your kids like that crappy music from when you were in high school. (I coulda’ done without most of the ‘80s.)

 

You know you're old when you've been married longer than the age of the kids coming out of college.

 

You know you're old when your youngest kid is over 30.

 

When the funerals you go to are mostly people younger than you are.

 

when you you’ve been working at the company longer than an experienced co-worker has been alive

 

The 1960's equivalent of the Tortinos pizza.

 

You know you're getting old when you.....uh.......

What were we talking about?

 

When you stop making plans for a better/faster plane

 

I listen to the 80s channel quite a bit. Class of '87 here.

Just don't get me started on the crap kids listen to today. And get off my lawn!!!

 

Young punk. Get offa my lawn!! (Class of 84, early graduate).

I've grown tired of the 80s channel on XM and now alternate between 70s and Classic Rewind.

 

My wife put a funny one up on the fridge this winter. It said " I'm not going outside until the temperature is higher than my age"

 

well you may as well go with him Rusty. Class of ‘81

 

When you click on a thread that says ‘you know your getting old when…’

 

OK Boomers.

 

I walked into a group conversation in the company kitchen. A few guys roughly my age were talking with a punk kid co-worker...who claims he did not know who Jimmy Buffet is.
(HS class of '84 here)

 

Here’s a weird thought I had today: when I was a kid, many, many of the older guys in my neighborhood were WWII vets. But right now, it is the same period of time back to WWII , as the period of time from WWII to the Civil War! 77+- years for both.
Wonder if vets from WWII said, “when I was a kid, many civil war vets lived in my neighborhood "?

 

When it’s your class that is the subject of “Old Army” stories…

Texas A&M Class of ‘88

 

When I was riding the bus to jr. high school, I saw a gas station advertising fuel for $0.98

 

…. I remember flying on Braniff airlines.

And Texas International Airlines

 

And I said "Oh my God, it can't EVER reach $1.00/gallon; can it?

 

Class of 80 here. I went to the Eagles Hotel California tour in 1976, Buffett was the opening act. Been a fan ever since.

 

$0.35 when I started driving

 

….short term memory is the second thing to go….

 

I should delete my post. You guys are way older. Although my summer intern could be my daughter. Sigh.

 

I'm so old I can remember when HP made great stuff.

And I can remember when "Made In Japan" was a pejorative.

 

...when you’re sitting at the table having dinner with your significant other, the adult kids are off doing life, and either the evening news, Wheel of Fortune, or Jeopardy is playing on TV in the background. Dayum.

 

You own clothes older than your coworkers

 

When the underwear you have on is older than your boss...

 

...when you can remember a time when shirts had pockets.

 

I can see that evolving into its own version of MP’s Yorkshiremen sketch.
