When you click on a thread called "what makes you feel old?", and nod knowingly at the responses.

Also, clearing out the attic and finding a bunch of punch cards from your first programming job. I think i saved them because they play jingle bells.

Like others already mentioned: hair loss, high school girls, not wanting candy anymore.

Not knowing who a lot of famous musicians and actors/actresses are.

Starting to also want to avoid getting drunk. None of my friends seem to want to stop drinking yet, so I might be alone on that one at 28 years old. The hangovers are not worth it because the entire next day becomes a waste while the effects are slept off, headache nursed, and body rehydrated. When I start getting ready for work on Sunday night I feel cheated out of half my weekend. Fucks with your sleep schedule, and motivation to do chores and exercise. Basically throws your life out of whack for at least 2 days and not getting certain things done can have ripple effects that last throughout the week, like being annoyed in the morning that there is no clean laundry to wear because I didn't do it over the weekend and it's a pain in the ass to have to go to the laundro mat and drop off & pick laundry up in the morning before work.

When they start making remakes of movies that you liked as a kid, and when you date a younger girl (I was 27, she was 22 in this case) and you turn to a movie you liked in the past on TV and try to watch that and she goes "coome ooooooonnnn, I don't want to watch OLD MOOVIIEEEESS!".

When I tell someone they sound like a broken record and they look at me like I have lobsters coming out of my ears.

I was at my cousins house, and they're in 1st and 2nd grade. They recently got their first video game system - PS3.

I thought about my first system - NES.

made me feel old.

Haha yeah

I felt old at the Reel Big Fish concert I went to a few weeks back. We stood in the back with all the other old people while all the kids jumped around in the middle having fun like I would have 10 years ago.

The fact that some 9 year olds today were born in 2000. Now that just sounds odd doesn't it?

Realizing that most of the music I loved in High School is rapidly approaching twenty years old.

Oh, lord, that was the very first thing ever that made me realize I was getting older -- the grim fact that HS girls were really too young for me . . . SOB. :brokenheart:

And then college girls can't be far behind!

It's when the college girl's moms are too young for you... Now that's old!

It's already happened to me. When I go to college football games and ogle the cheerleaders, I think, "man, they look so YOUNG!"

A coworker just told me he is looking forward to being 25 since his auto insurance would be cheaper...

To shamelessly steal from Gabe Kaplan it is when I catch myself making my father's noises when I wake up in the morning.

1) Going to the bars I always used to frequent in my earlier years of college, and feeling like I just walked in on a kid's birthday party
2) Just found out I will be an uncle in not too long

When I stopped looking forward to my birthdays...The other day I realized I am only a couple of months away from hitting 28...

I talked to a hot girl the other day and when I realized she was only 19, I shook my head and walked away...Too young for me.

It's been 14 years since my beloved Niners won the Superbowl...
