    When I went to the DMV and all of the workers and people in line were 'old people' and they treated me like I was one of them. Turning 60 next week and can't figure out how the h I got there.

    You have to put one of these on to thread a needle or do any kind of hand sewing.
    So frustrating.

    I had to invest in a needle threader a few years ago. Threading the machine was impossible.

    When you tell a family member's kid that you had the same elementary teacher he now has and he looks at you like you are crazy. You then laugh and ask him why he doesn't believe you. He tells you it's because you are so old...
    Said family member is the same age as I am, so at least maybe his kid thinks he's old too...

    Went to a high school reunion. Wasn't sure where to go and mistook the venue for a seniors' center, what with all the old people standing outside.
    Then I recognized some old classmates.

    A pregnant woman offers you her seat on the bus. Really? Sheesh.

    When you tell people you were around before the internet, before cellular phones, and before cable TV and they don't believe you.

    When you can still beat your kids at a video game (Space Invaders) because they can't figure out how to work a controller that only has one button and one joystick (Atari Flashback).
