The realisation you're getting old

[cyberknight]

You ask your wife/partner what day it is, and then ask them the same question 2 minutes later.

pfft

She won't notice anyway.

She won't notice anyway.

Who?

I've got something really, really important to look up on a website. Before I do that, I'll just check out the various volcano links on the one I'm looking at now.

Ok - what was the really important thing I was going to look up two minutes ago?

 

[Gwylan]

Who?

Just make a cup of tea and don't worry

I've just realised, you know you are getting old when you have favourite settings for the washing machine and what's more, you have discussed it with others!

On recent bus journeys here, I prefer to sit downstairs, and before I used to go upstairs.
Am I getting old?

I realised I was getting old yesterday when a pension lump sum dropped in my bank account!

We went out for a meal last night, and everything about the place made me feel old! The "server" referred to us all as "my lovelies", and was also wearing a big dangly earring. The other servers were all young and heavily tattoed, wearing very short shorts/skirts and very tight t-shirts. I had no problem with it, but how times have changed. We would have been told to wear smarter clothes, longer clothes

As long as you still sit at the back, you'll be reasonably ok

Just tried to like/love a post in this thread, but had already done so. It was the first post in the thread, from 6 years ago.

Then got deja vu when writing this post, and had to check i hadn't written something similar already!

It's not so much 'realisation of getting old', more like 'losing my marbles'!

wait till a lump drops into the back of your underpants when you're on the bus , then you'll know you're getting old

There’s a barmaid inn our local, she's quite tall and always quite elegantly dressed. She's also got a strong Dorset accent, alternating between " thank you moi luvvr " and " moi 'andsome " when serving drinks.
