Signs That You're Old

[Brickjectivity]

You need a bit of rest to recover from a good nights sleep.

according to my docs, I haven't had a good night's sleep in about 4 years...

According to my Mom, nothing makes a person feel old like hearing their kids complain about how old they are.

Sign you're old

When the town puts one of these in front of your house

When, instead of simply pointing out the ridiculousness of it, you get angry over commercials that use skinny, 20-something models to advertise wrinkle cream and/or fitness/weight loss items to older women.

when you have five layers of insole.....

For your viewing pleasure.....

when the composition of your teeth is mostly man-made

spider veins

 

[Thief]

when people actually yell.....Hey! old man!.....
trying to get your attention

and you can't hear them

When you find yourself grumbling about "those rotten kids" and you're talking about people in their 30s...

I just posted a "Goofus and Gallant" cartoon on another thread. I doubt anyone under 40 even knows what that is.

But the worst is, I've started springing gray eyebrows. Just one or two here and there, but can the mad scientist look be far off?

Hey, at least you can have lots of fun with a mad scientist look.

In my heyday, I had three pairs of parachute pants. I'm not proud.

Well, you may not be proud, but you are brave to admit that. Myself? I never ever owned any of those. .......really.

You find yourself saying and/or doing the very things your parent(s) did that alerted you to the fact they were getting old.

Well, you may not be proud, but you are brave to admit that.

I had the mullet to go along with the parachute pants. The 80's were a strange time.

I just discovered that Porky Pig was only 18 years old when I was born in 1953.
He made his debut in 1935....

That was the year I was born

I remember toys with small parts.

I remember toys with small parts.

Micronauts! These things were awesome. Die-cast metal action figures that you could snap together in different ways. They had little plastic spring loaded missiles that you could shoot out of their arms. That is until some dumb kid choked on one and they took them off the market.

In January 1935 ( my birth month) petrol was 7.3 pence per UK Gallon in today's money
When I started driving in 1956, petrol was 26.6 pence per UK gallon. in today's money

Today it is £4.99 per UK gallon

That is getting old for you.

Mind you in 1935 £4.99 was a good industrial wage for a 40 hour week.

Are you Porky Pig?
Who does your voice now?
