The realisation you're getting old

Youngsters looking to join us at work are half the age of ..... my son.

There I was the other day struggling to walk with my walking stick, my dog's lead in my other hand and a heavy shopping bag as well. My dog decided to have a number 2 to add to the problem. I put my bag on the floor to take a dog shoot bag out my pocket when a young (to me) woman said she'd pick it up. After she'd put it in the nearby bin she offered to carry my bag to my home, about 10 minutes walk away. I gladly accepted the offer. She walked with me to my door, leaving my shopping bag on my doorstep. How kind of her!

My swmbo and I were talking about underwear last night as you do.

And I commented that none of my boxers have labels on them so when it's dark and I am getting dressed it's not always obvious if I have them on the right way round 😀

Her reply was you need some old man pants then as they have a label rather than have size info etc etc printed on the inside.

So I guess I am getting old

When Mrs Z and I bought two large bags of dog food the the man behind the till asked if I'd like him to get a colleague to take them to the car!

Mrs Z nearly died laughing as I struggled to see the funny side.

I declined his offer, only to regret it some minutes later

I understood i am old,when last week i dropped a 50p in Waitrose,it hit the floor,when i was younger i would have caught it before it got there.

Bought a wee tripod camping stool for when I'm out with the TCV so I can avoid getting a wet behind during tea breaks. Sitmats are provided, but they're invariably pretty grubby and maybe my higher seating gives me an air of authority - ?

I won’t post my answer on here as I can’t remember if I did it already. 😬

When a youth’s response to you taking the piss is to call you grandad.

I bought a wahoo kickr - quite weighty. The bloke who delivered it put it down while I answered the door, looked at me, then insisted on carrying it into the house.
After I got over the insult I had to get it up the stairs - one step at a time.
I'm still 22 in my head

A quote from elsewhere, but rather appropriate:

"My mind thinks I'm 20, my humour suggests I'm 12, my body keeps asking 'Why aren't you dead yet'?".

When you were younger you wouldn’t have dropped it in the first place.

Good idea, consider it stolen.
