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

[Easy 10]

Or you're old enough to be invisible to them, so you can gawp at them to your heart's content without them noticing.

This tidbit was brought to you by Silver Linings 'R' Us.

True, although I've been leching for years through the medium of dark sunglasses. I have eyes like a chameleon, and can swivel them to almost impossible angles to track some precocious sluttage, whilst my head remains largely static.

I notice you're doing that when you're five rows in front of me, gawping at the pretty red-haired thing 10 seats over and three rows back ...

Absolulely. And she can't keep her eyes off of me either, specially when I'm in my poncho and waterproof golf trousers.

[Lady Whistledown]

When you are proud of your shed.

And the older you are, the tidier your shed gets.

At first I thought that was some kind of euphemism

Anyway...

-when you realise you're spending more on your parents' Christmas and birthday presents when they are on yours

-when you get asked for ID when buying alcohol in a shop and it brightens up your entire day

-when you listen to Radio 1 and think "what is this SHIT?"

 

[Hove Lagoonery]

....you approach a couple of girls outside the pub after closing and they ask "are you the taxi driver?"

 

[Spun Cuppa]

When I saw my first g/f's first born (post-relationship) daughter, and calculated she was older than said g/f when we split up

Oh, and when elasticated waistband jeans look a tad appealing :dance:

 

[lasvegan]

When the topic of conversation revolves around your prostate and cholesterol levels.

When there's people younger than you on NSC.

Joining this as a 14 y.o, never thought I'd see the day.

 

[Barrow Boy]

When the barber stops asking you if you would like "something for the weekend" (for the younger ones on here that was polite talk for do you want a packet of condoms), and starts asking if you'd like your eyebrows trimmed.

You're quite pleased this will be an NSC thread with some good old fashioned humour without the young'uns ruining it with their tittle tattle.

Also when you say you remember songs the first time round when your kids say they like the cover version. Of course the original was better!
