    I was listening to 90s music on the way to work this morning and one song brought back high school memories that made me feel so happy. Until I realized that song came out 20 years ago!

    Dial up internet, landline home phones, VHS tapes......all these things are pretty much extinct now.

    What makes you feel old now?

    Wow I still have my landline home phone and use it everyday. LOL!

    When chat up lines consist of:"I want to put my tongue between your legs". *actually happened to a peer of mine recently... Srsly? What happened to the good ol' days of: "can I get your number?" *landline...obviously..., hey, I'm worth that damn 10pence phone call!

    Dunkin Donuts counter service. A man with a starched white collared shirt and apron would take your order and serve the coffee in a proper glass cup under a saucer with a stainless steel spoon. Donuts were made on the premises and served on a glass plate. You paid after you were done and left a cash tip.

    Although I can't recall the time when Dunkin Donuts was quite that way, I do remember it being closer to that!

    I remember when I turned sixteen (1992), some of my friends worked in fast food and at places like McDonald's, they still wore actual uniforms. Tight, horribly unflattering maroon polyester slacks and tops that were tucked in and belted, with matching hats or visors...paired with black on black restaurant shoes. That was my number one reason for avoiding food service jobs! I see fast food workers now wearing a pair of comfy black skinny jeans with an untucked baggy polo shirt or even t-shirt and Converse sneakers. I feel old every time.

    One friend worked in an ice cream shop where she had to wear a hairnet and wasn't allowed to wear earrings. Now the manager of that ice cream shop has waist length pink hair and multiple facial piercings. Times have definitely changed...I don't mean that it's a bad thing, but it's certainly remarkable.

    Stopped a young girl yesterday, she looked about 17 to tell her that her shoe lace was undone, didn't want to see her falling over because of it. Well, she rolls her eyes & says "yeah, I know it's undone"

    Her dress sense looked like the grunge look. So I figured the undone shoe lace flapping about must be 'fashion'

    Wont look so fashionable with a bust nose after tripping over the shoe lace, I thought. That whole experience made me feel old. Didn't have undone shoe laces in my day.

    I dunno, a bloody nose kind of fits the grunge look.

    I remember recording the top 40 countdown on my cassette player. Having to have perfect timing on the record and stop buttons so I didn't get any ads :D .. However, I never feel old until younger people remind me of how old I am.. Then I tell them they're rude, immature a**holes, throw my drink on them, get on my mobility scooter and go home

    OMG YES!!!!! Then the DJ would come on before the song was over and you were like SHHHHHH DAMN IT

    All the recent 90s nostalgia makes me feel extra old. Especially when I'm around people in their early 30s who are like "I LOVED Rugrats, Animaniacs, Full House...collected all of the pogs and Pokemon cards" and I'm like whoa, because at 40 that means I was a teenager with no interest in all of that.
