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. |  | | |  |

Seeing Town players that are younger than me.
Although as a 21 year old replying to this thread, I’m probably making other people feel even older ;) [Post edited 5 Aug 2021 13:14]

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. |  | | |

Wait until the sons of former players play for the club as well - now that’s old. | | | |

I was playing football and I asked a teenager who was walking around the pitch what the time was. He said, 'Sorry, I haven't got a phone'.
I also once compared a goal one of the lads I play football with with Rivelino. I had to explain who Rivelino was. |  | | |

A teenager told me they liked "old school indie music, like The Arctic Monkeys or The Strokes". |  | | |

Having work colleagues who were born in the 2000s. I was working nights for the millenium celebrations and they weren't even born. |  |

Getting more excited by practical stuff like a whiteboard for my home office than about genuinely exciting things. |  |

For you Keno, that is nothing to do with age. |  |

Investing in decent appliances. Really looking forward to getting an industry leading rice cooker, for example.
Also, accepting others know more about certain subjects / not feeling the need to get the last word on everything. [Post edited 5 Aug 2021 13:45]

Re-starting running and realising it's a lot harder than it used to be (I think the world must be more up than it was).
Digging out an old suit after a few years and realising the waistband has shrunk.
Realising I'm boring the kids in exactly the same way my parents used to bore me.
Being laughed at by my kids for dad dancing that was perfectly acceptable in the 80s and early 90s.
Thinking about whether the gutters need to be cleaned out. |  |

I used to like to wind up the people at work by pretending to not know what a fax machine was. I’ve never used one or seen them in action but I did enjoy triggering the ‘kids today...’ rant |  | | |

My 26 year old daughter telling me about a night out and telling me she preferred Revs to Unig because Unit is for youngsters. |  |

- Day drinking rather than nights out so I can get a goods night sleep.
- Playing football against people who are literally half my age.
- A love of anything that anything Michael Portillo or Kate Humble present. |  | | |

Apart from the aches, pains and wretched grey hairs, it has to be how much I despise today's chart music/musicians. They all sound the same - autotuned, just makes my ears bleed. Used to be able to tell who was singing just by listening to them, as such distinctive voices - not any more!!
There are some decent new bands around, my husband listens to Radio X, so it's not ALL music.
Also the crap "entertainment" shows and Celebrity this that and the other - makes me yearn for the good old Generation Game and TV personalities of the 70s and 80s. |  | | |

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

Tutting at things that my folks tutted about. |  |
| We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |
