[Humour] How you know you’re getting old.

[Box of Frogs]

The time I realised I was officially old was when I went to the barbers for a hair cut and he also offered to trim my eyebrows!

 

[METALMICKY]

So many to mention. However, recurring one is where I glance in rear view mirror and gasp as looks like a 12 year old driving in car behind.

When a shop assistant offers to email you a receipt, you say "I haven't got an email" and they believe you.

I am willing to bet that was for obscure and not massively popular acts? Dare I say old codger music?

Obscure yes, but not necessarily old codger

Went to a gig a few years ago at the Dome - the guys on the door asked was I here to pick up my son or daughter

They do that in the US when trying to get a drink - being in your 50s or 60s is no excuse. "No exceptions, buddy". It's really annoying having to take a passport with you every time you go out

I had a supermarket in the US refuse to sell me a bottle of wine once, even though I was 38 years old and had my passport with me as ID.

The reason?

My ID didn’t give my height and weight.

I also remember turning up on the evening of the gig and being able to buy tickets on the door rather than having to book and pay eight months in advance.

Now that makes me REALLY old

Or send an SAE with a cheque to the venue’s box office.

When your ear lobes increase in length to sometimes quite alarming proportions.
Fortunately this hasn't happened to me yet but it's a phenomenon which has always intrigued me. It only seems to affect men for some reason as I've never seen an elderly woman afflicted by it. I've still no idea what it's all about.

Is anyone on here affected by elongated earlobes which they didn't have when they were younger?

It happened because my Mrs expressed through elongating my earlobes that she wish my head would stay in position and that there was value in having a strong and limber tongue.

Now I don't feel so old.

I went to a day festival a couple of weeks back. It's horrific.

We had a gig at a festival earlier this year . . . played late afternoon . . . I retired to the Hotel at 9pm with cheese, a bottle of wine and a book!

Thank goodness that they don't appear to have to go through that palaver when buying guns.

....Back OT - I think this is very appropriate for this thread
