Nothing reminds you that you're getting old than seeing actors coming back in sequels that are also getting old.

In 'The Olden Days' when you wanted to use a public toilet, or one in a store, you had to put a Penny in the slot on the stall before you could open the door.

We had pay toilets here in the States, too. The last time I saw one was probably in the mid 80s.

I remember the joke where "if you're an American and you go into the toilet and you're an American when you come out, what are you while you're in it? EUROPEAN!"

If you remember that, too, you may be old.

Twenty odd years ago, I dinned with a group of French Canadians. It was a Contiki thing, and it so happened that our group was mostly Australian or French Canadian. It was our first night and we were discussing differences in manners. One of the French Canadians snobbily informed me that not using the word "toilet" was indicative that French Canadians were raised to have better manners than Australians.

She had her knife in her right hand and was eating off of it, and both her elbows were on the table. My rude, unrefined, bad mannered mother would have taken one look at her and forever held her in disgust.

Bathroom etiquette is a strange, many headed beast.

there are so many, but a recent observation really drove home the fact that i am no longer young...my oldest has a receding hairline now, and was complaining about back pain and arthritis the other day.

I'm old enough to remember Bill Nye the Science Guy on those TV/VCR carts they'd wheel into the classroom. Or when each classroom upgraded to an HDTV on the corner.

And before he was a completely cucked old man.

Man, I hate that for whatever reason. Seeing Hugh Jackman's oldverine depressed the fuck out of me.

I felt the same way when I finally got some new vacuum cleaner filters the other day.

I just turned 30 it’s scary. Every time I get a little fatigue or sneeze im like “THIS IS IT! I’m going to be sore forever now! It’s over!”

I'll let you into a little secret... it gets worse.

I have had to go to the ER about five times in my life for my shoulder. Going to physical therapy is just the icing on the cake.

You know you're old when you get excited over a new washer and dryer, or new water heater.
Or even a new detergent.

God, I'm old.

I think the worst thing is baby/kid actors you know now has two kids and you don't.

 

[Derrick]

I'm pretty much older than every single professional athlete I see on TV, heck I'm old enough to be a father to some of them now. Though on the bright side there are still three/four NBA players older than me so maybe it's not too late to give up on my hoop dreams.

 

[glass_houses]

My stepsiblings' kids keep having kids. I think they're up to fifteen odd now. A happy side benefit of the mutual loathing between my stepsiblings and I is that I don't have to bother with birthday or Christmas gifts for the fuckers or their spawn or their spawn's spawn. No one can afford that shit, it'd bankrupt the Murdochs.

I also remember that single half hour in 1991.
