You know you are getting old when...

David Bowie is being played on the soft rock oldies station
All of the music from your teen years is now considered "classic"
The fashions of your teens are making a comeback
Cashiers call you ma'am



Anyone have more?

I have to disagree about the cashiers calling you ma'am. Maybe its a southern thing but at 21 I am being called ma'am but a lot of people (I don't like it either)

You realize that a little boy you babysat as a teen is now 21.

The 'We ID" sign at the gas station says if you were born in 1988 you can buy cigarettes.

When you see white hairs on your head!

Here in Germany It is normal and appropriate to name someone by Miss ..... once they turn 18!
I guess in my mind im still a child I think its too weird!

when your pores could swallow a volkswagon, and there isn't enough concealer in the western hemispere to cover the "happy laugh" lines on your forhead, around your mouth, or those nice little ones out of the corners of your eyes....

what about when you go out to a club for a nice night on the town, wearing your sexiest outfit, only to find every other girl in the place looks like they are 19, haven't eaten in 2 years, and suddenly swim suit tops are the "new" sexy outfit!!! (I have to start carrying blinders for my husband! )

When your are going to be at 9 or 10 o'clock The same time I used to go out!!!!

Just wait till you start getting things from AARP!!!

Yep, they've started to send me things in the mail, but thier minimum age is 50 and I'm not there yet .

I don't agree with the Ma'am thing...I know its a southern thing...but in the tech support world 9 times out of 10 "Ma'am" is a substitute for calling you a naughtly word. I.e. "Yes Ma'am you do need to turn the computer on..."

I got something from them in the mail the other day myself. I am going to be 38 in a few weeks, don't rush it!

I've been getting stuff from AARP, since I was in my late twenties. Finally, I stuffed all of their junk into their return envelope and sent it back to them.

You know you're getting old, when you get your first pair of bifocals or reading glasses.

When they ask you if you need the senior discount

11pm is late
Phone calls after 9pm tick you off.
You get up every morning and all your joints are stiff.

You look in the mirror and see your mother (father if you're a guy)

Or when you look in the mirror and you look like your Dad ( and your a female)

When you start thinking you don't want anymore birthdays, but then the alternative isn't good


when you see that your grandkids went from 7 to 18 in less the a year

And when you actually have to wonder where all these years went

You need an extra hour to put your face on

When you have to keep changing the size of the font on the computer

And when you 4' 11' today and your pants are to long tomorrow

One more, When you feel like you have to put your makeup on to go across the street to get your mail

... the bartender's mother is younger than you
