When did you realise you were officially old?

Last night I took an antibiotic capsule upstairs to have before I went to sleep, left it on my cabinet next to a drink. Messed around a bit before eventually getting ready for bed and went to take my tablet but it wasn't there no more.

I remember explicitly taking it upstairs and putting it next to a fresh drink, but I have no recollection of taking the damn tablet! I searched the room, the floor, even the bathroom but it was no where to be seen.... so I must have taken it, right?

I think I've finally hit that stage in life where autopilot leaves no trace!


When did it hit you that you were now in the later stages of your short existence?

Yeah - saw one of my school friends post on Facebook recently that their kid had turned 23! that was when I felt old. At the point now where acquaintances my age you see them one day and they suddenly look like time has not been kind but it wasn't that long ago they didn't look much different to how you remember them from school.
 
My youngest daughter (who's an nhs scientist, gets it from me, not) turns 30 this week, I don't feel old, probebly fitter than my mid 20s (regular surf and cliff walking)
Any medical problems We're reversed going vegan, mental health has suffered sometimes and hit the vino too much but a product I take now has given me a mood transplant and totally destroys anxiety (that I would sometimes get after the weekend vino) edited out of the purchase thread as its illiagal in Afew country's as a mild hallucigen.

I do get this one as we have Bluetooth speaker at work and the younger people's playlists can be a mystery, I take time to ask who it is (if any good) unless it's rap or something then mooch on YouTube later, but mostly we stand and go on about how music was better in our day (like every decade does)
 
3 out 5 times when leave for work I have to get out the car again to check I have locked the front door.
 
Stealth handovers in my mid 30's

Never suffered bad hangovers at all really, then around mid 30's i'd wake early and feel fine after a night of drinking. About mid day i'd feel like absolute crap and more often than not need a sleep through the afternoon.

Can you get in and out of a chair without making a noise? I think I lost that skill in my mid 40s.

I seem to have automatically started making old man noises when sitting down or laying down pretty much bang on when I turned 40.

Making noises when getting up is the next stage...
 
I can't even comment because I feel old even though I'm just shy of 30 and if I say I feel old some 50 year old will jump down my throat

Apart from the daily aches and pains that seem a normal part of my life I suppose receiving a bowel cancer screening kit kinda reinforced what my body had been telling me, in regards to my galloping age. Also just having a finger job and blood test from the doctor just seemed to be the icing, if I was in any doubt.
Free eye tests as well as prescriptions, my life now seems complete.
