Default You know your old when...

Just in the forum game mood. Feel free to add if any.

You know you're old when:

You remember hating steam when it originally came out arguing that it takes up a precious amount of ram.



Your first walkman was a cassette player that only had Play stop and fastfoward.



You remember your best friend's parent's home phone number.

you know your old when you realize that the music you grew up listening to, was so much better than what is considered mainstream

... The music 20-year-olds listen to sounds like complete crap.
... You constantly state the best music was what you listened to when you were 20.
... You take two days to recover from a drunken night out.

You wake up with a stiff back. I'm 17, but I had a really bad sleep last night, it felt like I had woken up in WW2 after being the only survivor in blitzkrieg.

You know you're old when you get sent into a rage by people whose command of English is so poor that they write "You know your old".

You know your old what? You know your old man? Yeah? Yeah, met him yesterday.

While we're on the subject (or is that 'were on it'? ), here's one....

You know you're old when nose-hair clippers actually start to look like a good investment.

Dayum - I just realised you are a mod.

Note to self: do not rage at mods, even in fun.

Another thing... you know you're getting old when you forget your... y'know... forget your...erm... that thing.

You know you're old when:
  • There is nothing left to learn the hard way.
  • You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room.

Or when you see the same 10-year olds going to school with their iPads. My sister got her own laptop when she turned 11 last year.
