Seeing that most of us are just out of our teenage years, I thought it might be good to share those experiences or insights that let us know that we are getting older.
I will start off with "you know you are getting older when Memory Lane turns into an 8 lane highway." :cake 08:

you know you are getting older when
You get into the shower (as I did last week ) and your glasses start to fog up :doh:

Was just thinking about this today, when I realised I couldn't toss a 24' extension ladder around like I used to.

You know you are getting older when you spend an hour looking for your glasses and suddenly realise you are wearing them.:(

You know you're getting older when a sexy girl wearing one of those bare midriff tops goes by... and you get concerned that her tummy might be getting cold. :?

You know you are getting older when the young blokes at work were born in the same year that you clocked up 15 years at work.

Actually, in my life I knew I was getting old when I started getting ready for bed the same time I used to start getting ready to go out on the town!
Bring on the walking frame !

You're asked to show a new worker around, they ask you how long you've been doing this for & when you tell them, they go 'Wow! I wasn't even born then'.
Been there, still got the scars on the inside.

You know when you are getting older when:
Your barber offers to trim your eyebrows,
You still call your barber a barber, not your hairdresser.
You check out the chick in the short skirt and think, nah too young.
When you're talking to your friends, you usually end up talking about medical complaints.

You know you're growing old when you're tying your shoelace, wondering if there's something else you can do when you're down there.

Sigh! You definitely know you are getting older when a list like this seems to be describing you to a 'T'.
and recently you hear your son describe the 'when he was young' to a young kid who gasps at at his description of deprivation and ancient technology. :C

You are getting old when you couldnt be bothered learning yet another version of Windows and head for the DOS prompt to find out what is really going on.

I have several (adult) students whose parents I trained!
When you used a slide rule and logarithims in maths class.
This is a neat party trick. Part of the calcs we do involves simple multiplication (3 digits x 3 digits), which those of us of my vintage learned to do in our heads. Last week, running a class, the trainees couldn't see how we did this (it's just practice), so to make it simple for them, I pulled out my old circular slide rule.:D
I don't think they're going to give up their calculators.

You know you're getting old when your wife says " Let's go upstairs for some hot sex" and you have to reply " Sorry love, but I can only do one or the other". :D

You know you are getting old when the barber you have aways gone to now cuts your hair, well what little you have left, your son's hair and your grandson's hair. Come to think of it the barber is getting old as well.

The Lions Club came around selling Christmas cakes, so I propped my daughter on my shoulder and went out to get one ... and they asked her if she was having fun visiting her GRANDPA :((
Smart little minx that she is, she corrected them and I was able to enjoy one of the most grovelling retractions I've witnessed ... from a bloke easily as old as me :D
This was five years ago now ... and my idea of a great time at the playground is her finding a 'friend' to play with so I can just sit and watch - THAT's getting old :(
