Have any random things happened to you that has made you feel old?
1. Today, a woman at work (early twenties) handed me a landline phone as she didn’t know what the ‘funny noise’ was - it was an engaged tone - apparently she’s hardly ever used a landline before.
2. I overheard two lads talking about their favourite music back in the old days and realised that they were talking about 90s britpop.
Peace and love. |  | | |  |

Stepping to one side to let the old chap come out of the shop first and suddenly realising that old chap is you and your looking at a reflection of yourself in the glass door
Watching Back to the Future (part 2 ) recently and remembered going to the cinema when it first came out and at the time thinking I wonder what I'll be doing in 2015 and now realising Back to the Future is now in the past |  | | |

Hearing someone on Pointless say "It's before my time" and knowing it wasn't for me. |

I said it on the phone the other day to an Arsenal fan, who to his credit, was putting some respect on our name because of 1978. [Post edited 5 Aug 2021 18:00]

I think that’s a different scenario altogether - you’re not justifying ignorance by saying that you’re too young to have watched it and therefore not know anything about something. You’re full aware of it [1978 win] but didn’t experience it (hopefully that makes sense). | | | |

When a friend (roughly the same age as you) is telling you an anecdote about their niece and says 'well, she was born when I was 18, so she'll be 51 now'. | |

My son, a Villa supporter went into a potted history of the 1981 season. I let him go with it until the sentence, ‘’ and Ipswich had a player called Paul Mariner’’
He knows my age, he knows my allegiances, but in failing to do the maths he was astounded when I stopped him with, ‘’I know, I was at all 3 games with Villa that season with Grandad’’
The Holte End was a proper stand in those days too…… | | | |

I was listening to Radio 2 (yes i’m old) and they referred to the 90s as “the oldies”.
I may have shouted f@ck off and turned it off… |  | | |

My first ever girlfriend at secondary school became a grandma at 31.
Not sure if that made me feel old or shocked | | | |

It isn't even recent.
A good few years back my mate said his team was short of players and could I turn out (albeit under a different name / FA registration etc)
Anyhoo, I really didn't want to but agreed in the end - and then I got a bit excited about the whole thing.
I dug out my Adidas Santiagos and was utterly convinced that someone would see the beauty of the classics and make a remark.
Remark they did, on the warm up some skinny little sh1t said "Nice boots grandad" |  |

At Silverstone for the F1 GP a young lady drove past me in a bomb disposal van, she looked late teens or early 20's, made me feel very old. |
It is a little known fact that Danny Welbecks father (Stan) was once in the bomb disposal unit

Was at a party a few weeks ago and we were all talking about the first CD/cassette we bought and one girl who is in her early 20s said she had never bought physical music.
Blew my mind. |  |

I mentioned to a 19 year old apprentice at work that I was playing 7 a side football that evening. He replied "Is it walking football?". I'm mid 40's - felt mid 60's with that cutting but innocent comment! |  |

Yesterday was the first time a toddler has come up to me in public and mistaken me for their dad.
I know it’s not “ahhh jeez I just woke up and realised I was 60” but it gave me a bit of a kick! Life goes fast lads. | | | |

Happened to me in my late 20s, realised I had started subconsciously looking at girls' hands to check they didn't have wedding rings before talking to them. |  | | |
