You know you are getting old when....

[Brown and Boris]

Happened to me yesterday....

You go to a party and the topic of conversaton the next morning is how nice the food was.

You drive there, and expect to be able to drive back.

You don't ask who is going to be there before you say you will go.

You are back by 11pm, although you have no babysitter to worry about but have 'had enough'

You arrive at the party before 8pm to 'get a seat'

You don't put on clothes or shoes you can dance in, why would you?

You are glad the DJ plays music you can have a conversation over.

You expect and are delighted to be going home with the woman you went with.

You believe you went with the prettiest woman at the party, and left with her.

You buy the present and card well in advance to ensure it is right rather than from the garage on the way.

You chose your clothes based on what your partner is wearing so it won't make her look over/under dressed

You make plans for the next morning knowing you will be in a fit condition to do them.

Sounds like hell.

All your socks are brown or black

[Snake the Sniper]

What sort of party is it when you feel the need to arrive early for a seat? Or is that just code for a seat next to the podium/stage?

You know you are getting old when you see a thread titled "you know you are getting old" for the 25th time.

[Westy Pre-Lit]

Someone said on another thread....

"When you walk in doors and touch the radiators to make sure the boilers working OK"

Did make me laugh that one.

+2 - I usually do it to see if they are hot, which usually means the wife has turned the thermostat up too high!!

And..

When you are bothered by what birds are in the garden..

When you only take soft drinks...

I realised I was ageing mentally if not physically old when, following the recent snowfall, I phoned my younger brother (he's 18, I'm 27) to advise him not to drive too fast in the snow and give him some general tips on winter motoring. His response...."thanks Dad".

Combined with my recent tendency to patrol the apartment before bed making sure all the windows are locked and the lights and appliances are switched off, I have decided to embrace maturity

Disappointingly, I also find myself doing that old-man-shaky-head-thingy when I see kids driving in ways that I disapprove of....

Time to go live in the retirement home me thinks!
