I couldn't see the date on a penny
told someone to grab a pencil and paper to write down an address, and my wife looked at me and said, "hey old man, just tell them I will text it to them"
Nah, you're correct. I hate someone getting my phone number.
This thread cracks me up. There is very little old here. When you don't remember your 50th birthday that is old. But then again my dad is 92 so I do have a way to go before the dirt nap.....lol.
Don't talk fashion with Zemedici, anything that isn't sparkly is beneath him,lol.
I had a few modded t-birds that rode excellent, and after buying a fox that I daily'd for a couple years, after I ran back to luxury performance, lol. Car was fast but I would walk like an old fan for a few minutes, if I drove more than 30 minutes. I'll give up a little performance for a lot of comfort.
I had to look, you have me by a few.
Only a few.....lol.
For sure, same decade.
I was on my honeymoon in Vegas 13 years ago, and went into McD's for my morning coffee, and the girl gave me a SR discount@ 40

I would have the urge to go punt a puppy after hearing that.
That's freaking ruthless.
My bride is 10 years younger, so I didn't dwell on it to long.

The first time I pulled out my back while lifting. I think I was 25 but felt like I was 50.
Then at every decade interval it just got 'harder.'. In my mid 30's my injuries started piling up- nerve damage, separated shoulders. Couldn't keep up w/my son, who was quite the athlete. Damn kid started outrunning me when he was 7!
Then in my 40's I really noticed it took me a lot longer to recover from hard physical training and labors. It's gotten far worse in my 50's. And oh yeah, acid reflux reared its head in my 40's too- a real lifetime of joy, that stuff. Then I tore my bicep tendon, then my shoulder imploded. Lots of fun.
And at 53 I became the proud recipient of 2 cardiac stents. Fellas, that's when you start feeling old(er.)
But here I am, closing in on 57 now, having just had another shoulder surgery, and still kicking. Screw it all- I ain't going down w/out a fight, even if I need to take a nap once in a while.

Haha. Right after I typed that post I got a list of cars we were getting in and on it was the new Continental and I got excited. It gets here so I go to check it out and it was just an MKZ. Ruined my day...
Definitely warrants a case of the sadz, lol.
OMG! I can directly relate to every one of those.
I'll add a few more.
When you are the only one in the room who knows that a phone party line isn't a 1st generation dating service, you're old.
.....and when you remember the battles trying to get the other party to hang up so that you could use the freaking phone, you're old.
When someone asks what your first job was, and you tell them it was getting up at 5:30AM to deliver the morning newspaper to 25+ homes in a 3-4 block area. (I was 12 years old. LOL.) . Yep, you're old.
When you remember watching Sky King, Lone Ranger, Cisco Kid, Ozzie & Harriet, Lassie and the original Super Man on your parent's black and white television....you're old.
I used to look forward to every weekend, going out with friends getting drunk, not thinking about the potential consequences, now my buddies don't even bother asking me as they know the answer, i'd rather just relax at the house and play with my dogs.
And stopping any alcohol consumption and working out more for the sole reason to be better at my job, old/maturity.

If you know what a rotary phone is because you used one.
before reading thread: seeing that the thread title has the wrong "You're"
These are all things I can attribute to my knowing that I'm getting older, but I'm by no means as old as you farts are
If you haven't seen it, check out Space Cowboys, not a bad flick.
- I inherited my Dad's back and my Mom's feet, which isn't a good thing. Recovery times way down, pain way up
- Can definitely relate to the day after partying
- When I was doing a teaching internship and the teacher hosting me was younger than I was.
- Running in to kids I've taught or tutored in middle and high school on campus
- This happened a month or two ago: on campus eating lunch and I'm hearing songs that are older than the entire underclass
