    You think "Nightmare on Elm Street" Movies were scary....then see them with your 17 year old niece who looks at me like I fell off the porch and bumped my head! (Okay I agree...they are cheesy now! LOL)

    Oh and complain about gasoline being $3.55 a gallon, starting stories with "when I was your age I paid .79 cents a gallon for gas...."

    When you know every song on the "old school at noon" list on a pop station.


    For real, I remember hating all the song because I thought they were boring then one day old school at noon came on the radio but since I was busy doing something and couldn't change the channel...I was like, "What?!" lol

    When you drive by a billboard advertising a Pat Benatar concert and the 22 year old in the car pops of with "Who's he?"

    Funny you said that. I just drove past a a billboard advertising a Pat Benatar concert and I wondered how many younger people would know who she is.

    My partner was a waiter in a coffee house around town when she was just starting. He turns 60 in a couple of months. lol.

    A serious one: You know you're old when you remember listening to the Selective Service draft lottery on the radio to find out where you birthday was chosen to know if you might be called up for service to go to Vietnam. To find out if you or your friends might die.

    After reading the posts on this thread, I have come to understand OLD seems to be a state of mind and perceptions. I feel sorry for those of you that are in your 20's and think you are old, you haven't even lived yet!

    You tell people you've seen Harry Chapin, Gordon Lightfoot, John Denver, and The Who in concerts, and you get blank stares.....

    That's the kind of music I listen to. The Who is one of my favourite bands....I'm 18....some young people have decent taste in music ;)

    ETA: I also quite enjoy pat benetar (as per someone elses earlier comment). not to mention eric clapton, aerosmith, neil young, santana....the list goes on and on.

    When you measure time in decades when relating to something. Back in the 80's we used to, or I remember one time in the 90's.

    I was number 182! That translated as "pack your bags" at the time.
