You know you're old when...

Nuckle · 05-07-2020, 08:54 PM

you grow ear hair long enough to pluck with your fingers ... and you do it in public ... and don't care.

..you think a pandemic has never happened before.

We had one of these a few years later, but I was in to skateboarding at that time, so I said no to the computer and yes to future knee surgeries. I honestly don't know that I ever really got back into computers until the early 2000's.

Just using the word hip betrays the young part.

1MOREMOD · 05-08-2020, 08:24 AM

Like, I have a broken hip?

Also, despite that, I still consider myself as 'young' and 'hip' I don't trust modern gadgets. Though cloud server might be a solution to computing that's frightening if everything might suffer from a possible massive blackout. Still, I have only one smartphone and a robot vacuum (that was a gift), these two really improve my life

Quite the contradictions here sir. Young people don't use the word "hip" and the lack of trust in modern gadgets says anything but young. Young people (most of them) only rely on their modern gadgets....for pretty much everything. Wanna play a fun game with some young people? Take their phone and ask them anything, then wait for the reaction. Google, youtube and facebook are their educators, without access to these; they know nothing. Want further proof? Ask them their gender.

UncleWede · 05-08-2020, 09:36 AM

At least you ask their gender and don't just ASSume

The assumptions wouldn't matter, they don't know what is down there. Either that or they do know what's down there it just makes them feel special to invent something to be upset about. I'm going to the crying closet.

When you're driving and turn down the stereo so you can see better.

When you look at Gwen Stephani and remember how attractive she was before Botox and filler.

Maynard · 05-08-2020, 03:50 PM

^^suspecting that knowing who Gwen Stephani is may get you opted out of the 'old' category...

And what is YouTube for, if not to avoid ever having to look at a MODERN video of any of our original fav's?

I'm only 46 but my ear hair and nose hair grow much faster than my hair hair.

Inversely proportional. Less hair on top = more hair around the ears.

billnchristy · 05-08-2020, 11:34 PM

I was on a plane with a cheerleading squad, completely surrounded. Instead of getting horny, I got annoyed.

That’s when I realized I was old.

Dear penthouse diaries, get off my lawn.

Haha, I just posted a pic on Cool Pic's of the plane my daughter if flying this summer fire spotting, it's a Cesna Skymaster and I told her it looked like the bastard child of a P38 and 172. I'm OLD.

You know you're old if you know what Penthouse Diaries are.
