I'll start:
 
You know you're getting old when it's the middle of November and you're still not used to the new year.
 

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

You know you're getting old when you're putting dot products in the diaper machine and the sediments coming out of your vector tree are aeolian and colloidal.

You know you're getting old when when you read a post in ProgArchives and it has words and punctuation but you have no idea what it means.

You know you're getting old when you have to get up to pee at least 4 times during the night.. and none of them are particularly successful or satisfying..

You know you're getting old when you're traveling in a spaceship and you're 300 million miles from Jupiter and you still hit it and then your pants fall down.

You know you're getting old when your pants pockets fill up with parentheses and you can fit your airport in a shampoo dispenser.

I'll just repeat what I said earlier in this thread.

You know you're getting old when all you do is post gibberish all day long and somebody actually notices. Wink

Beep Beep!

You know you're getting old when you're on PA talking about "what is prog"?

You know you're getting old when the dime bag bumper stock crashes into your homework pump leaving you with an apex of orange creamsicle twizzlers.

You know you're getting old when.....

A Saga holiday sounds very appealing and a Club 18-30 holiday sounds like your worst nightmare.

A Little old lady gives up her seat to you on the bus. Yes, that really happened to me recently! Shocked

The highlight of your afternoon is settling down to watch Gardeners World with a mug of Ovaltine.

When you look forward to a dull evening in and a night out on the tiles is sitting on the patio.

All you want for your birthday is not to be reminded of your age.

It takes two attempts to get up from the sofa.

At the breakfast table you hear snap, crackle and pop and you're not eating breakfast cereal.

You sit in a rocking chair and you can't get it going.

You sing along to the golden oldies muzak in shopping centres.

All of the music legends you grew up with are now retired or dead. Ouch

That was one of my worst nightmares when I was 18, to be honest.

Very good list Paul, actually got a couple of real chuckles.

A night on the tiles is sitting on the patio is so damn true.

You know you're getting old when every fart in public is a profile in courage.
