You Know You Are Old When

[Alan W.]

Remember well the day I saw two college girls walking up to me. With my gut sucked in I said can I help ya. They smiled and said, sir do you know what time it is. You could literally hear my gut and jaw drop.
Now yes I was getting gray hair while in high school but come on.
Had my son when I was 40 and totally gray. When I would take him with me they always said how cute my grandson was
Wife and I hooked on TCM. Pissed they wont run Holiday Inn.

You lose your glasses while working in a 10x10 area. Search everywhere for 10 minutes then find them... clipped on your T shirt collar.

I lose mine constantly. One time I looked for weeks and had finally given up. Then one day I went out to check on some trees I'd planted. (I always have 2 pair on hand)
As I kneeled down to look at them I took my spare pair off... and set them down right next to the pair I'd lost. On another occasion I was out rustling through my scrap metal pile when I found a pair I'd lost a year earlier. Then there's the pair out in the woods, probably still hanging on the tree where I put them about 5 years ago.

Fortunately I only need reading glasses so I bought several pair and have a set in each vehicle (5) plus (2) pair for in house computer work and 1 pair in garage.

When a waitress gives me the senior discount, but says my girlfriend is to young for it.
My wife always says that its funny, as we are the same age.
I have also learned to never correct a waitress on this.

Kids in your life sneakily remind you that you were born in the 1900s lol

Wait a minute:
"my girlfriend is to young for it.

You have a wife AND a girlfriend?
Do you live in Utah by chance?

No! Just lacks a sense of fear and self preservation.

Given how blind I am without them, that's not usually a problem for me. I do have a tendency to lose work gloves, only finding them again after buying a new pair.

I did once lose a studfinder. Since it's not something I use very often, I put off buying a new one. Sure enough, a few months later I found it, mixed in with some completely unrelated tools. Have no idea how it got there.

I've always been organization challenged. It's not getting any better with age
