You Know You're Getting Old When ...

When cutting your toenails feels like an event in the decathlon.

Yep. I'm no taller but pretty sure my toes were never that far away.

.... when you don't think, "yeah, Friday is finally here!" but "Friday already? Where did the week go so quickly? Another week less of my life..."

Other than the slippers, that’s me.

But to be fair, my stove sucks, so only like two burners really are useful.

Agree with this on the slippers. The rest you are spot on.

You don't even have to ask for a senior discount, they do it automatically.

You reference several TV shows and start working closer to the current year to find one the person your talking to at work was alive for

There is a group of candidates for jobs at your company in the lobby, and you think it is bring your kids to work day

Someone asks you how you use a rotary dial phone that they saw in a Youtube video

Wait, you're telling me the person who filmed a rotary phone video got YouTube to show up? That's a pretty big deal.

I walked past a thift store the other day and a kid said 'what's that' to a rotary phone. They'd never even have seen a cordless handset landline.

If I’ve done my math right, I’m the youngest one here on the forum. Not by a large margin, maybe 1-3 years. I am beginning to think that I am the youngest person in the world who has ever used a rotary phone. I’ve worked with kids who “have heard of them”, but never seen one.

I have to stop reading this thread. It is becoming depressing!
