Officially old

I refuse to change font size and find I can train my eyes back with close up to horizon exercise.
Don't feel much different to when I was a teenager tbh, nothing aches , 16 kg kettle bell to help muscle mass, exercise is done doing things I love.
Having said that I look at family photos and think jeez you look an old git although keeping hair follicles and colour with the supplement I take
 
Constantly getting my **** handed to me in any kind of fast paced online games.

Whilst I was never at any kind of "pro" level, I used to almost always end up in the top 3 in games like Unreal Tournament, TF2 etc.

These days I'm lucky if I get a shot off before some 15 year old with the reflexes of a cat jacked up on Mountain Dew empties a clip into me :p
 
When I was a kid I thought it was a load of bull when old people said they could tell in their knees that it's going to rain, but it's true

When you're out with the lads (similar age) and you all decide that 11pm is a good sensible leaving time for the pub sesh to end, so that you can get out and get a taxi before it gets too busy with youngsters

Absolutely this. I CANNOT do late nights on the sauce anymore. If we're not starting midday and ending before 10pm then I'm not interested. I've got **** to do on the weekends man.
 
Overheard this conversation while playing pool the other week:

Student 1:....yeah, he's quite old you know....born in 1987
Student 2: WOW!!! That is old!!!

I'm older than that :(

I always liked when one of my nephews asked me "What's that square thing supposed to be that you press to save something on a computer?".
 
Was talking to some medical students about how they'd probably never seen a cassette tape, when they asked what they were I explained they were what replaced CDs, they than asked what CDs were......

Looking over my glasses to read.
Getting a headache after one beer.
Asking young people how old I look hoping they come in well under.
Night time toilet trips.
Finding out new staff members weren't even born when I started in post.
More hair everywhere most of it turning grey.

I'd just grabbed a free taster at Costco when I heard the woman behind me ask the woman who was doing the dole-ing out if she could have one for her husband at which point the woman said sorry I thought that was your husband (meaning me), I turned around to see a rather frail looking lady of about 75. I'm 44.
 
The other week, I found an old 5p in the 10ps in a till. Its the same size as the current 10p coins. Younger colleagues are bewildered that such a coin existed.
 
Deffo the going to the loo in the middle of the night. Would be great if we had a pause button on our bladders then unpause it when wake up then spend 5 mins peeing it out. Much better than trying to get to sleep again.

If I need to go to the loo after 5:15am, I cannot go back to sleep.
