You know you're old when...

King Rudi · 05-24-2021, 10:18 AM

I've decided I'm older mentally than in years.....I've also decided that I'm just over people's shit.....therefore, I am old.

When recognizing that having a conversation with someone isn't going to yield positive results, so you just withhold information to avoid the whole damn thing and hope the best....yet the best that you hoped for doesn't materialize; and you still don't give a shit.

In those instances I try to decide if the whole thing will still bother me in a week or so. If not, I just brush it off. Not worth the raised BP.

Here's that image from Mexico City. April, 1996.

Note the other weird thing on the post sticking out of the sidewalk.

You know you're old when YOU start yelling and shaking your fist at people driving too fast down your street instead of being the one speeding down the street

That's me, except I'm not yelling and shaking my fist. I'm driving slow and mumbling under my breath at the reckless young-ins.

Funny thing, I still watch some of that old stuff. Reminds of a different time.

Like Ted Mack's Amateur Hour...brought to you by Geritol...

M_Six · 05-24-2021, 05:37 PM

Is Geritol still sold? Asking for a friend, of course.

...when you start missing important details while shopping. In the past week I bought laundry detergent that was clearly marked as lavender scented even though Wifey hates scented detergent (I'm no fan either), plus a jar of spicy/sweet pickles that I had tried before and didn't like. I missed the "spicy" part on the label this time. And then there are the new pedals I bought for one of my bikes that clearly won't work with the extenders I have. If I had been paying attention to detail, I would have caught that.

All of these are minor annoyances. But I'm worried I may one day miss a crucial detail that leads to much more than a minor annoyance. Tough to get old.
