You forget what you went out for.

OMG, I do that all the time! I must be ancient then cos I've been doing that for years.

What makes me feel old is that I was on the tram the other day and all these school kids got on, and I was just thinking how immature they were. I was rolling my eyes and eveything.

Also, I remember when there were only 4 channels on British terrestrial TV.

That makes me feel old.

Sarah (the little girl I babysat last night): when were you born?
Me: 1991
Sarah: wow you're OLD. did they have cars back then?

You're just learning about Boards and how they work.

You know you're getting old when you meet someone who says "Dallas? That was before my time" I couldn't believe it :lol:
When you listen to the radio and they announce your favorite song from your youth as "golden oldie" Man, that were the 80s! :lol:

Heyyy, down here in Devon (england) we've still got four channels. You must be from up north of england or in one of these big cities.

my mom said this one "when you stop getting carded."
