Same. I was having a conversation with one of my customers (a senior citizen) the other day about how people my age (mid 20s) are so hooked on technology, so connected to everyone and everything, all the time, and we both agreed that it's strange, unnecessary, and slightly horrifying.


Realizing that my baby sister was born in 1994, and uh, she's obviously not a little girl anymore.

I laughed so hard when I saw this. (Then I had to explain it to Ki.)

uh.

stuff that makes me feel old (part 1, pocket edition) -

• Pretty much my entire front-end staff at work (and the fact that I take the youngest ones under my wing because they're practically overgrown children)
  
• The fact that you can't say "here's a dime; call someone who cares" anymore, because nobody would understand you/if pay phones still exist somewhere, they're probably super expensive now.
  
• The fact that I enjoy drinking but I don't want to get drunk.
  
• My little sister (who I practically raised myself) is 20 years old. TWENTY. WHAT THE HELL.
  
• The fact that my significant other is a couple years younger than me, and I consider him somewhat sheltered in contrast to all the adventures I've had in the past 10 years. (But it makes me happy that I can teach him necessary things about being an adult.)

No, it's a "thing that makes me feel old". Seeing a comment about driving made me realize it's been 21 years since I got my license, which is the drinking age here.

25 Albums You Should Hear Before the Moon Crashes into the Earth and We All Die

Knowing what a rotary dial telephone is and knowing how to use one.

When you realize your arms are no longer long enough for you to be able to read most books and restaurant menus without a pair of reading glasses.

When you think back on some memorable events from your 30's and 20's, that seem like they happened 6 or 7 or 8 years ago, and you realize they actually happened two to three times longer ago than you first thought.

When you make a pop culture reference to someone in their teens or twenties and they have no idea what you're talking about.

i remember those, i kinda miss them actually i liked the sound the little number wheel made.

plus back then you had to memorise somebody's phone, nowadays if i lose my cellphone i can't call most of my friends cause i don't remember their number!

You know how camera work and picture quality all kind of look the same for whatever decade they're in so you can pretty much date any TV show/movie you watch just by how it looks? It makes me feel old when I realize that I remember a time when TV looked different.

That's not being young, that's being stupid.

True but it was easier to remember their phone number cause you had to dial it all the time.

i still remember the phone number of the house i grew up in.

this IS f*ckin scary, Season 1 looks very outdated, the last seasons still look ok though
