At 32, i've just had to move from a 30" waist trouser, to a 32" waist. I'm devastated.
At 42 it will be 42".

Other things they don't tell you about are
Having to get up in the middle of the night to go pee-pee(maybe more than once)
Not being able to lie in bed inthe morning (why do you think old people get up so early, it's because discomfort drives them from their beds)
Not doing it so often, and not doing so much when you do it.
Forgetting the names of things.
Not giving a flying f
k about the latest tv game, phone, other boring piece of new technology

Your dad comes round and you realize that you are wearing more or less the same black jumper and similar jeans. Whilst leaning on the kitchen work top in exactly the same way. Whilst admiring his shoes.
Then when he leaves you find yourself looking on t'autotrader at cars and suddenly realize you are looking at the very same car your dad drives.
(both the above happened last monday to me)

I'm 41½ and in (fairly) fine fettle, but still get the odd reminder of my advancing years:
Getting up and going into another room, then thinking "What did I come in here for?"
Slowly realising that I can no longer eat and drink anything I want without putting on weight
Creaking knees when attempting stairs
Getting increasingly more annoyed about increasingly less important things (my latest is when you buy a 2 disc DVD and discs 1 and 2 are the wrong way round in the case. That really pees me off)
Only being able to "do it" three times a night instead of six
Nose/ear/grey chest hair - check.

Considering a Volvo as the next company car, as it will likely be more comfortable than an Alfa Romeo. My misery compounded by browsing my father's Ebay watch-list, which was 3 pages of Audi S4s/RS4s.
Insisting that the next car has reversing sensors, as it's no longer so easy to turn around in my seat.
Thinking powered tailgates aren't such a bad idea after all.
This afternoon it took 3 attempts to make a cup of tea; Misplaced first mug (since found, balanced on the edge of the bath...!); made brew in second mug and forgot about it, poured away as ice cold; made second mug, added milk. You don't put milk in Redbush, poured away 2nd mug.
I'm not 40 yet.
