What was the first thing that ever made you feel “old”?

Seeing that question elsewhere and realizing I had an answer for it, rather than just finding it insulting.

It's supposed to do just the opposite - make you feel desirable and desired.  Maybe time to reconsider your hires or just stop

Thanks for the advice

When my new cardiologist walked into exam room and I asked him if he was still in High School.

Let's see. When I stopped worrying about what people thought of me. A few more years and I will become that old guy yelling at people to get off my lawn!

When my older brother (by 2 years) said, “Wow, you are really starting to look like Dad … and acting like him, too.”

In the last three weeks, I've moved my mother into assisted living, and lost my younger brother to a heart attack. I'm feeling every bit of my 59 years right now. This getting old is horrible!

The first time  I felt old was the first time I got a boss that was younger than me.  I was 41/42 at the time.  The new boss was around 35.  Up until then, I was successful at work and I was always considered the young guy doing great things.  Promotions and raises came...until they didn't.  I hated having a younger boss.  To make matters worse, he wasn't a very good boss.  I continued working for another 7-8 years and then retired at 49.  I'm 62 now and when I look in the mirror I don't recognize myself.  LOL.

Thank God we have immigrants.

Back to subject. I felt old (recently) when I mentioned IBM n a family gathering and nobody knew what it was.

Can't remember the first time I felt old
