You know you're getting old when...

[rb336]

You feel a little creepy about thinking the mom in that commercial is hot

[Zacha341]

What commercial?

[rb336]

pick one. I don't know your tastes. It's that realization after you think "wow, she's hot" that she is younger than your niece

[Zacha341]

Oh, I get it... I just thought you'd 'lead off' with an example for you.

For me it would be that young 'guy'...... but I'm not a cougar so, NOT.

Then there's that creepy Orbitz? commercial about people on vacation where the old lady plans to "turn the pool boy into a pool man." <shudder>

Funny, sure—but creepy too.

When you're wearing sweat pants with suspenders.

[Zacha341]

Low wedge-heal sandals with 'velcro' straps... I have a pair - well along with my stylish-slinky cute shoes.

You know you're getting old when you need to ask other people when they know they're getting old.

[rb336]

very true!

[yaktown]

...when you care more about the fiber content of your breakfast cereal than the prize inside.

[rb336]

there are still prizes in cereal?

[thnk2mch]

When the cops, bus drivers, teachers and doctors are not only younger than you, but some are younger than your kids.

[Zacha341]

Pulverized parts of insects.... they say there's some of that in nearly all processed foods. Just sayin' ----

Then there's carmine, the red food coloring made from crushed Cochineal insects. Yummy!

It's mentioned at 3:00 in this Vsauce video.

When hot waitresses start calling you honey or sweety
When you look at old school pic's
When you realize your the same age as the president.

They are in all food, processed or otherwise. Remember, honey is bee poop!

When my son worked at "Ball Park Franks" there was an acceptable level for rodent hair! Just saying.

[Zacha341]

Yep. I mentioned 'processed' specifically as cereal is a processed food.

Taken from my own personal revelations, you know your getting old when...
.People start calling you 'Sir' in general day to day interactions.
.When you use the phrase "Mr.X is what they call my father" and the reality sinks in...
.When quoting Dazed & Confused;"That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age." goes from being humerous to creepy.

when you start volunteering at your local precinct on election day

[n7hn]

Mine is the saddest yet.... it was when there was less hair on my head than on my ears, sigh

[Zacha341]

Hah! Volunteering? The election department will actually pay if you insist ---- !

You know you're getting old when.. the kid in line in front of you at the gas station is told that he looks like Ricky Ricardo... and he says "who's Ricky Ricardo?"

could be worse, what if they said you looked like RR

I was speaking to a client of 21-22 recently, and in conversation I said something about Johnny Carson.

She said, "Who"?
I was flabbergasted. How can an adult NOT know who Johnny Carson is?
Then I did a little math. He was gone when she was in diapers.
