Tell tale signs...

[Cantw8]

you are getting old....

People have stopped asking me to help them move
I make that "old person" noise getting out of chairs

--DW and I noticed we attend movies ("Best Exotic Marigold Hotel", "I'll See You In My Dreams," etc.) where we're the youngest people in the audience.

--One of our favorite Pandora stations is the Dean Martin station.

--We just booked our first river cruise for next spring.

We semi-jokingly call it "skewing older."

 

[Meriweather]

limping because my joints hurt

going back to the room in the middle of the day for a rest at WDW and DLR

 

[gwynne]

We wandered into the La-Z-Boy store to test drive some models. It's time.

 

[Mokat76]

Tsk-ing at previews for upcoming TV shows.

Ditto La-Z-Boy.

 

[mrsheppo]

I can't sit down on the ground anymore without someone lending me a hand to get back up.
My knees pop walking up stairs

 

[Mirielle]

I find myself gritting my teeth and muttering "disgraceful" under my breath at things young people do. It's the very things I'd have done back in the day.

 

[kimblebee]

Definitely moaning and groaning when getting out of bed..

Not caring about the grey hairs anymore..

Wearing clothes for comfort, not fashion

The Dean Martin doesn't mean you are getting old. It means you have great taste!! My 21 yr old LOVES Dean. Aside from Elvis, he is her all time favorite. She says his voice is like deep blue velvet

When my kids refer to the time I was young as the olden days LOL

 

[scrhsa]

---crocheted things everywhere
---your knees and other joints sounding off like rapid gun fire
---picking shoes for comfort over style
---realizing that you find the older gray haired guy more attractive that the younger guy on the tv show/movie you are watching. This one caught me by surprise the other day

 

[powellrj]

Your kids refer to your celebrity crush as the old fart. (its Richard Gere)

Your grandkids find all the senior discounts for you.

The teachers they think are so old, you went to high school with.

They are amazed that you saw all the classic movies in an actual movie theater when they came out. I once told a group of college kids I saw Blazing Saddles on a date and they couldn't believe it.

The point at which you are no longer just working with people who are younger than you, you are also working with people whose parents are younger than you are.
Tied with:
The point at which your boss wasn't alive yet when you started in your job.

 

[adisneyaunt]

Dinner time at 4pm is Okay by me!

 

[Forevermarypoppins]

The thought of getting on the floor for any reason is always met with the realization that is it just so***** hard to get back up.

 

[low-key]

When I fall people dont laugh, but run over and see if im alright

 

[Gumbo4x4]

Jumping off a pickup tailgate is now met with more trepidation than jumping off a 50 foot cliff once did.

 

[kimblebee]

When the songs you loved in high school and now played on the oldies station

Realizing you are old enough to be one of your coworkers mom. That really shook me lol

 

[jevs]

Drinking responsibly

 

[wilkeliza]

Some of these apply to me and I'm not age old just personality old haha.
