Feeling Old

[Eve]

Thought I'd post a couple of threads as it's so quiet on here.

I was chatting with my cousin on Christmas Day and mentioned the A Team Film. She asked me who the A Team are...made me feel rather old!

Getting annoyed with students makes me feel older too (despite being one), similar to the "noise" kids are playing on buses.

What makes you feel old?

[sherrardk]

Being told by another mother in the playground that I was old enough to be her mother. I'm not that flipping old!

You feel old? My son once asked me if I wrote with a feather when I was at school.

Charming Sherrard! Aww Puss!

We have had a couple of new girls start at work and one of my colleagues cheerfully pointed out I'm technically old enough to be their mother...in a very biological sense anyway!

I'm 38. At least half the people I work with are half my age... I think I'm the third oldest in the shop :-(

[Eve]

I'm the second oldest and only by a few months and I'm 32 lol :) At least the boss is older than me!

I was in a middleground at the old place as everyone else was either 50+ or early to mid 20s. There were a lot of conversations I felt either too young or old for!

Years ago I got a new assistant at work, and discovered I used to date her father.....then I felt old.

A few years ago we went to parents evening for my daughter at her high school and her teacher greeted my husband as 'Evenng Sir' turns out my husband used to teach him at high school!!

When I realised that I always let out a little groan as I get up or sit down.

It doesn't seem to be that long since I was involved with youth cricket in Sheffield but I suddenly feel old when I realise that I'm listening to our Under-15's captain on the radio, commentating on Test cricket after he's retired from the England captaincy!

[Buenchico]

Some people seem to get old very early in their lives. I used to work with a guy called Craig, who was constantly moaning about how (for example) "Young people today don't know what proper music is. We'd never have listened to such rubbish in my day". He also criticised youth fashions and anything else he regarded as 'odd' about young teenagers. How old was Craig? 19!!!

I realised I was old when I worked out that I had a computer before the IT expert at work had been born!!

[Buenchico]

Woofgang:
I'm so old that I can remember computing by post!

To write a program I'd first need to draft it on paper. Then I'd have to type a series of punch cards. Then I'd have to submit them to my college tutor, for posting to Sheffield Polytechnic, where the program would be run on their mainframe. Then I'd have to wait a week or so for the 'output' which would, nine times out of ten, simply be a note stating that I'd mis-typed something when I'd punched the cards!

Oh, happy days ;-)

[Invictas]

If I mention The Coronation and get blank looks,that makes me feel old!

[welshlibranr]

Oh Invictus, the Coronation!.............I just about remember it!..............feel very old now!........
