I Know Now I Am Offcially Getting Old

[barry1010]

The middle aged Tesco delivery driver said, "Hello, young man" when I answered the door.

What has your defining moment for hitting middle age or old age?

[gness]

A young person offering me her seat on the London tube.... :-(

[dannyk13]

Old age defining moment was when my eldest son turned 60.

[fiction-factory]

I have read that question twice and don't get it. but I will have ago at replying.... when a heavily pregnant young lady stood up on the train to offer me her seat, when the new barber charged me the pensioner rate without asking and when the pharmacist stopped asking me whether I paid for my prescriptions

[barry1010]

It's a bit of a shocker, isn't it? :( I thought I looked young for my age

[andres]

When the supermarket cashier calls you--'dear'and shouts for one of the young lads to'help this lady to the car with her shopping'

I know I'm getting old because I can remember when Eddie Murphy was funny.

[Tilly2]

I knew I was getting old when one of my former pupils introduced me to her grandson!

[AuntPollyGrey]

When I tell people I have horses and they reply ' oh do you still ride them then?' :-)

[choux]

APG, please tell me you are not The Queen?

[AuntPollyGrey]

I hope I'm as fit as HRM if or when I get to her age!

[bookbinder]

When I retired. I walked out of the company's door, and realised that I was of no more use to anybody.

[woofgang]

I will tell you when I find out

[ToraToraTora]

when the police look like they are kids!

I knew I was 'old' when, at the age of 46, I wanted to go swimming. The only public session at the pol in Bury St Edmunds (in between schools lessons and club lessons) on that day was for 'over-50s'. Realising that they were unlikely to ask me for my birth certificate, I thought that I could probably sneak under the wire and get into that session.

When I approached the young lady on reception and said "One for the over-50s, please", I was half-hoping that she wouldn't make any fuss but, equally, I was half-hoping that she'd say "There's no way that you're 50!"

What I wasn't expecting though was her actual response, which was "Certainly sir. Do you qualify for our over-60s discount?".

Ouch!!!

hahahaha Chris

[Barmaid]

When I'm going to bed at 9pm on a Saturday night. I used to just be going out then!

Chris - that made me laugh. The day before our wedding day, we were up at the hall tarting it up when the bar staff arrived to set up. Barman introduced himself to Mr BM and said "you must be the bride's father". I didnt laugh. Too much.

Hey mister - you got the time on you.
Asked a few years ago by 'youngsters' in the bus queue.
I had to ask if they were asking me as I never get called mister.

[piggynose]

I also thought i looked good for my age(60) when at the start of the lockdown i was queing outside a supermarket when i was asked if i was 60+. Luckily i didnt hesitate, but nodded and skipped quiet a long queue.

[Mamyalynne]

My Tesco delivery driver has just this minute left, he called me 'Darling' tht will do me.

Now I just need someone younger to heave it all in,unbag it and put it away.

[fiction-factory]

I feel I'm pretty fit for my age- I have just come back from my daily 4 mile brisk walk, go running further at least once a week and until the lockdown played 5 aside football weekly (against/alongside many players 30 y-35 younger than me). But when I mention the football all the pupils at school assume I mean walking football. And when I went for my age 60 medical MOT the looked at me and said "sorry, are you okay with stairs"
