Tell Us Something That Happened To You That Made You Feel Very Old.

Happens to me all the time and I'm only 34 :p
Apparently there is actually a reason for it; your brain associates memories with locations so if you think of something upstairs, that thought, even if it's about something in the basement, has an association with upstairs, so when you're in the basement your brain deprioritizes that memory :crazy:

That’s why, when I think of something like that, I keep repeating to myself until I get it done :(

Used to get out of a pool and hair would stay damp for an hour.
Now, it's dry in five minutes.

I keep my thinning hair at max 9 mm. It´s very low maintenance :)

In 1986 my long hair was really starting to thin. So I started wearing it shorter.

Fast forward to 2005 and I decided to just be done with it, and started shaving my head. Been doing it ever since.

Sooooo.... my 'hair' is dry in just seconds after a shower......
 
Just talked with a grade school/high school classmate I have not seen in 45 years. We also went to elementary school together, (first class together was second grade).
 
Well, not very old, but i remember the moment that I realized that the Playboy-centerfold models were born later than me ...
 
I picked up the first season of M*A*S*H. Noticed in the credits that the first season was 1972, 49 years ago. Sure doesn't seem that long ago....................
 
This last week, my wife and I flew to Jamestown, N.Y. for her mother's funeral. The flight up was a two stop flight that had Chicago as the second stop. O'Hare is a horrible airport which required us to walk, literally, miles to our new gate. By the time we got to our destination, I was totally burned out. I had multiple massive blood blisters on both fet and was barely able to walk the entire time at our destination. I hope we never have to do that ever again. I'll drive before I ever do it again via airlines.
 
I was ID’d at Target for a six pack of beer. It was just a few years ago and I was probably 53 at the time. I asked the cashier why and she said they are required to ask everyone. OK, whatever, I take out my drivers license and hold it so she can read it, and she tells me she needs to scan it. I asked why and she couldn’t tell me. I got pissed off and refused. I felt old because it reminded me of my father when he was ID’d at Chucky Cheese when he was in his 70’s. He also got pissed and gave the manager an earful. He was much better at than I am. It was “get off my lawn” moment.
 
You google Steve McGarrett and you get this sensitive guy ...

After my first year of high school it moved into a new building, and the old one was turned into an elementary school. Now I have a co-worker who went to that elementary school.
