When you're buying booze at the grocery store and the automatic scanner says to look at ID and the kid at the manager station gives you a look like "oh, you're really old, so sorry the machine is so ignorant". Even when I really don't look that old. Compared to other 37 year old white men.
That was gonna be my next one!
I stopped being ID'ed this year and I don't know whether to be happy or sad about it
The best is when you get carded now, makes my day
Ok I might be seriously giving myself a bad rap but I have rarely been carded since I was 21. That is just sad. I don't believe I was even carded that day. I hope it's the laziness of the cashiers...
You know you're old when...hope no one has said this but, you need a week to recover from a weekend hangover.
bugs in the way...I feel about you

denial....such a 'you're getting old' thing.......;)
i kid, i kid!
i LAUGH when i get carded now. granted it is far, far, faaaarrrrr more rare nowadays, and i assume it's just *policy* b/c there is no way in hell i could ever be taken for under 21. hell, not even under 30 anymore. :shock: i may be gettin' old, but i AM realistic in many ways....
i uded to get carded fairly regularly up until 35. i loved it. of course, more than likely, it's simply a NY thing = always worried about getting busted selling to minors and not that i looked that damn good. :? :P
as to the hangover, that is SO my husband. i think it's the one main thing that pisses him off. :twisted:
I do need a long time after a drinking binge...maybe that's a good thing!
I'll add a geeky one... you know you're old when you remember Wordperfect being the main work processing program and I refused to go to Word......
i still use wordperfect and refuse to use Shit...i mean Word
Really! I had to eventually give it up. Everywhere you go uses Word!
How about you know you're old too when you remember in order to use Windows you had to launch it from DOS!
well they've got the saving as word thing down pretty good and a lot of attorney's still use it...and i still use the keyboard for various tasks (F7 to exit etc)
my first computer had a 40mb hard drive with 8mb of ram and cost $5,000 :shock: :shock:

Yeah, if I get shitfaced (which rarely happens anymore), I am worthless for like 2 days... a friday night out ruins my whole weekend.
And along the lines of your geeky ones, you know that you are old when you remember using Lotus for spreadsheets

Wanna feel older than me? I was in elementary and jr. high using wordperfect...Word came along before I needed to use any type of spreadsheet program.... I started on computers early...which explains my current profession.
You know you're old when a 25 minute car ride is pretty much a short one. When you're little that seems like a forever!!!

No, I didn't think anything bad! You and I are going back and forth with that today huh?
It's so hard to read tone.
At least you still have your memory...I'll be 32 next week and I feel like my short term memory is hanging on by a thread!

Bless you, you should be flattered! I'm 5 years younger than you and I don't get ID'ed at all anymore

i very rarely get carded, usually they see the colour of my license and hand it straight back to me

honestly, i feel pretty damn *young* most of the time. sure, i am aware of changes, i am not delusional ....it's only when i am around a lot of young people (and i do love hangin' with people of all ages) that i realize and think...damn, i'm gettin' old! mostly due to obvious generational differences, tho still can have lots in common...but sure, when i look at all the new associates in my firm, new crop each fall, it's like whoa...they're babies!
