You walk into the university library, see the Quaint Old Technology exhibit, start playing Frogger and PacMan on the Atari 2600 system left for that purpose and you're the only one who knows what it is.
ZORB!!! My Mom still HAS my Atari 2600! LMAO0 -

Tommy James and the Shondells played at your High School Junior /Senior Prom
Rolling up a pack of Camels in your white tee sleeve was 'Cool'

You know you are old when you:
Realize you're a crabby old fart and you're OK with that.
Remember when the majority of people made an effort to be polite and considerate of others in public.
Honestly can't tell whether that group of students are high schoolers or college age. They all seem the same - young.
Have to fight the urge to constantly give advice or suggestions to the youngsters.
Get the senior discount from a retail clerk. I've been silently accepting freebies and money off since I was 40 years old. I still don't even know the official AARP start age.
Subconsciously compare a current actor/actress or athlete to their parent, grandparent or other relative who was popular when you where young.
Think most current sitcoms are simple minded, annoying and stupid. Even though you were a dedicated sitcom fanatic in the 1970 & 80s.
A few other signs.
When the music of your youth used to be considered hard core and dangerous (hip hop and punk). Now it sounds quaint compared to stuff on the radio.
When they play "guess the song" with disco music at a work event. None of your co-workers get any right.
Fun thread. Brings back a lot of memories.0 -
When you find a grey pube. :noway:0

Your knees buckle and your belt wont....

You go to the family reunion and there are several teenagers you don't recognize, because you're expecting them to be about 9 years old. You look at the backs of your hands and can't recall where those raised veins came from. You tell people you've seen Harry Chapin, Gordon Lightfoot, John Denver, and The Who in concerts, and you get blank stares.....
True story: I was in HMV to get the DVD "Tommy" by The Who. The 16 yr old helping me said "from the WHO"? I said, yes, that's what I said. Her: "WHO". Me "yes"... blank stare... I had to explain it all the way... sigh...
It's like an Abbott and Costello routine. And the kid probably wouldn't know who they are either. :happy:0 -
You have clothes in your closet at least two decades old.
I get rid of outdated unstylish clothes, but I have shoes older than that. :happy:0 -
When you realize all the hot guys from the 80's hair bands you listened to are now old fat guys still trying to be hot guys from the 80's hair bands.0
-
When you don't want to go to concerts because they are just too loud.
I still go but I take earplugs with me, and I usually hope it's someplace I can sit the whole time because standing a long time makes my lower back hurt. :laugh:
edited because I dont speel gud. 0 -
ETA: My husband was 1 when 'Ghostbusters' was released (8 years younger than me) and my parents took me to see it in the theater. We have a WHOLE lot of fun playing the 'Do you remember?' game at my house :laugh:
I saw Star Wars first run, in the theater when I was 12. This thread is depressing. And funny. lol0 -
When a ticket to a Stones concert cost $3.00 and it cost HOW MUCH now?
I don't know, but I paid 18 dollars to see them in 1983.0
