You Know You Are Old When

[MAX-24-Dean]

Wait a minute:
"my girlfriend is to young for it.
My wife always says that its funny"
You have a wife AND a girlfriend?
Do you live in Utah by chance?

Well LOL!!
Yes I do have a wife and a girlfriend, they just happen to be the same person! Been accused of robbing the cradle multiple times. Some people just age gracefully, I was not one of them.

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

I've always been pretty organized, but since I retired, I have more time to organize things even more. I spent over an hour cleaning off my downstairs work bench I use for electronic work and small projects, putting every odd screw and bit into one of my storage bins or tossed it in the trash. I use up a lot of label maker tapes.

When I was 18 I was 5' 8 1/2", now at 77 I'm 5' 6".

Went to a county fair at around 50 years old and they wanted to give me the senior discount.

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.

Similar here.
Up to a year ago I only bought the cheapest plastic framed glasses. About $20 or less per 6 pack. But they cheapened the darn things too much. It got so I'd break the frame just taking them off. I'd go through a 6 pack in 2 months.
So I moved up to metal frames, $23/6 pack. Last a lot longer, have not broken a frame since, lost a few, mangled a few. The darn nose pads keep falling off but a drop of hot glue replaces the pad.
At those prices they are still like tape measures and flashlights. I've 2 main properties with 6 buildings and 3 vehicles I frequent, I keep enough of the items around so if I misplace one there is usually another nearby (on the same floor or in the same building).

You're old when you see some young kid doing something stupid that you used to do but don't/can't any longer and shake your head.

Or when you attempt to do something (considered questionably stupid) that you have done repeatedly before successfully and fail miserably at it saying to yourself "I guess I'll never do that again" lol.

Does one ever get too old for that?

Or when you now put reading glasses in your breast pockets, in my younger years housed a pack of smokes. Lol
