Rudynate Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Actually, there was something that made me feel old. I stopped to help this decrepit old guy who was laying in the middle of the street, drunk out of his mind. I asked him if he was OK, and he looked at me and said, "Get out of here grandpa." The thing was, he looked a lot older than I did. caliguy and + 7829V 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CuriousByNature Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Like @Rudynate, I have always felt old. Or maybe I should say that I have always had an old soul and interests that did not match those of my contemporaries. I am told I look 10-15 years younger than my age, but my worldview and sensibilities are those of someone 10-15 years older. Yet I often still think I'm in my 20s, until I see someone who was born when I was already an adult walking around with kids of their own. That brings me back to reality pretty quick!

Rod Hagen Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Oh My god I totally remember. My friend and I were fucking at Bare Ass Creek in the San Gabriels. The next day on the Cruising for Sex website some guy posted, "Yesterday I saw two old guys fucking next to the stream" Two old guys? I wasn't even 35! caliguy and + Just Sayin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGatton Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 When Snapchat came out. There were other technology trends that came out before this I didn't really get into or know much about, but this was the first one that produced a confused, hostile, visceral "you damn kids get off my lawn" reaction from me. I posted this video recently in another thread but it is even more relevant here. Take comfort in the fact this feeling is universal and all those younger people will feel it themselves.

+ jeezopete Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 A few years ago I went into an American Eagle store at a mall. (I think I had probably found some AE clothes at a TJ Maxx that fit me well, so I decided to try one of their stores.) When I found a couple pairs of jeans & saw that the dressing rooms were locked, I looked for a salesperson. A young man came to me and said, "Did you want to try those on? Or....did you say those are for your son?" Well, I was shopping alone & we had not spoken up to that point....so I said, "Yes, I'd like to try them on." I liked the fit & the look of the jeans, and when I went to pay for them a different salesperson (female this time) said, "OK, are these a gift?" Wtf??? No, I haven't been back to that store since, but I do enjoy shopping on the AE site now. + Charlie, + robear and caliguy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AE jeans fit me perfectly but every time I go in there I'm 15-20 years older than everyone. caliguy and HotWhiteThirties 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caliboy95 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I was talking to my nephew last night about how I used to search for song lyrics on YouTube to sing along when bored back in high school (I graduated in 2013). He looked at me and replied with “Was there YouTube when you were in high school?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A student tentatively raised his hand and said, "Excuse me, professor, but I wasn't born then." She never used that line again. Since 2000, all prime minister candidates here in Canada (we actually vote for the local rep but most of us are thinking of who will lead the government) have been younger to much younger than I am (think Justin Trudeau, young enough to be my son). In the States, most presidential candidates have been older, with the exception of Gore, Bush 2 and Obama. I’m now so old I never expect to vote for a leader older than myself. So I don’t even think about it. If I were an American, I wouldn’t vote for someone older than myself, which would have left out both Biden and Trump.

KrisParr Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Playing the Thanksgiving post-feast touch football game with my dad, two older brothers, and a slew of nephews. Thought I was gonna die. Aches, pains, limping, moaning, groaning, ass-dragging, you get the picture. My oldest brother gently whispered “either you’re more of a pussy than I realized or you’re just fucking old”. That was the impetus to lose a few more pounds and hit the gym a wee bit harder.
