What makes you feel old?

Uniscots97

Turning 31 .............and people asking me me why I'm not married/attached or have children ................and my godson accidentally calling me grandmother rather than godmother!!!!!!

Ooooh and when 'youngsters' ask me if I'm married and/or have kids....I am always really surprised and very indignant and say I'm 'only' 26............I still feel so young but I guess it's not an unreasonable assumption in their eyes....

Thinking about it my worst has to be when i got stopped as the police didn't think I looked old enough to be driving (no make up and hair tied back), when I produced ID he said "you don't look that old".......... made my day NOT.

tutting at young men who walk around with their trouser waistband half way down their thighs and their boxer shorts poking out over the top of them - have they not seen a mirror? Do they not miss being able to run for a bus? - I'm only 28 as well!

I read that this "fashion" originated in American prisons. And was to show "availability". :eek:

On the positive side, I don't actually remember "when all this was fields"

Sadly, I do, and often find myself saying so.....
I also remember 'old' money, 'Imperial' measurements, public telephones that had buttons A & B, the arrival in our neighbourhood of the miracle of colour TV and when thrashing children was not only acceptable practice but was considered 'good' for them. :rolleyes:
God, I'm depressed, who started this thread?

Oh, realising that my best friend's little baby is now 17 years old and 6 ft 2...

That really makes me feel old.

Definately!!!....Having them look DOWN on you when you are trying to impart some 'wisdom'...or more likely ....given them a stern talking too....that's a real eye opener isn't it! Funny though....I always think of my sis...she's 5'2 ...and 3 quarters:rolleyes: ...her oldest is about 6ft....she still tries to tell him off....he just picks her up and moves her out of the way:D
