You know your old when...

I drove half a mile with my turn signal on.

"Never trust a fart", my dad used to say that when I was younger, he had a ton of "old guy" expressions that I dind't quite understand. Most of them make a lot more sense now at "49" then they did at 20 .

When you stop ignoring a fart because you are not sure of the end result. (That was bad, sorry)

You're not old, you're experienced.
You're not old, you're just broken in.
You're not old, you just know better.
You're not old, you earned those aches and pains.
You're not old, you just prefer mature women (or men) (Of course in this day and age, you might prefer both.)
You're not old, you just have a better appreciation for proper use of your time.

You think the speed limit is actually a reasonable speed to drive.

When you are talking to young coworkers about a "classic" movie from your youth...

And you realize that the movie was first released over three decades ago...

well before the coworkers were born. :shocked::laughing::laughing::laughing:

What about when all the vibrant young actors and actresses in your favorite movie have either kicked the bucket, or are only taking old-folks roles.

Yeppers. And those that are still around don't look like they used too..... :shocked::laughing::laughing::laughing: Meaning they have not aged well.

It gets worse, I am the oldest among those doing the same job I do in our organization.

That is better than your boss BEING your kids.

Forgot about this one, have been noticing it over the last 10 years or so..

You start becoming older than doctors.

Doc's used to be older guys in a white coat with a stethoscope.

Now, more and more, they seem to be "young" guys/girls in their late twenties/early thirties.

Although when I go back home, I still run into my pediatrician, he treated me from birth till I left home at 18.

He is around 85 yo now, no longer practices but still gives medical/non-medical advice, holds court daily at the local watering hole

He was Marcus Welby before Robert Young, house calls, black Doc's bag, no bills - pay me when you can, let's talk about this ...., inspired confidence and trust, a true gentleman. Picture Robert Duval in "Phenomenon" or Burt Lancaster/Dr. Graham in "Field of Dreams".

You drive a Buick...and like it...

 

[Xfaxman]

You can't find any elders to respect.

 

[DKCDKC]

You know you're old when the first thing you talk about when you meet friends is who just died.

 

[Buppies]

Amen! To that DKCDKC

Thank goodness I am not NEAR as old as you are, Xfax! :laughing:

Know you are old when you visit a museum and see displays of the tools you used to use.

Getting "lucky" means you found your car in the parking lot.

XD. I'm only 25 years old and I always seem to lose my truck in the parking lot. Especially a big parking lot at Walmart. In fact I never fail to lose my truck in Walmart's parking lot. lol
