How you know when your getting old thread

[low-key]

When you fall down, people ask if your alright instead of laughing
(it feels like someone started a thread like this recently, if so my apologies )

When you shuffle when you get out of bed rather than walk
When you take so many pills you need to start using a daily pill box or some other method to keep track

ohh noo, yes the first few steps are the old mad shuffle, and it sure would be easy to just have what you got to take in one easy container space

People hold doors open for you, often.

You have to rotate, slowly, and stand up, slowly, to get out of the car, instead of just sort of jumping out.

Dan getting into a little car, I have to fight the urge to just craw in on all 4s

Everything hurts when you wake up. I still can't figure out how I can wake with my joints hurts, knee pain, random muscle aches/pains.

I know, not long ago I got my injuries playing basketball and stuff, now I get injured "sleeping wrong"

I had this epiphany last week. I tried to watch the MTV Video Music Awards and I had no idea who half the people were. I didn't think I was old...I am definitely old.

I feel the same way about watching any of the non-country awards shows. No clue who most the artists are.

Aside from getting gray hair. I feel old when I find out some of my colleagues were born in the mid 90s.

Going out now means leaving about 6 and coming home no later than 8

I hear ya. I just got back from a work trip with two girls who are the same age/younger than my daughters. I felt like the chaperone.

When the plumber asks if there is a chance you qualify for the senior discount...

I’m 47!

I always say “you know you are old when you throw your back out sleeping”

Also when I use the same slang my teen uses and the kids look at me in shock. I had one teen tell me that they were surprised I knew how to text.

Just tell him yes.

Been there, done that.

I had work done on my a/c the other day and I was happy to receive my senior discount!

I look at myself in the mirror and everything is sagging.

I was at the MSP airport last month. It is huge and they have these big golf carts to assist peole getting around. I had not one but two carts stop and ask if I needed a ride. I was a little ticked off. I didn't think I looked that feeble. I am 66 but fit and ride bikes and walk.

When getting out of a chair is such an effort, you feel like like you should throw you arms in the air, cause you planted the landing........8.5 ! she had a little wobble.
