Not only do I have a side part AND wear skinny jeans...
The newscasters on my local news look like babies.
I am appalled by the fashion for little girls.
And the main reason I realized this today...
A local photographer posted some new pictures on her Instagram. Holy cow! Why do they look semi pornographic to me? This was styled shoot that was themed. The models were all local middle and high school kids. No need for thigh high hosiery and some of the poses.
Man, I am OOOOOOLLLLLLLDDDDD!
Please add your... “I am old realizations.”

When I heard the Muzak version of a White Snake song over the loud speaker at a grocery store.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, I am my Mother after all!"
After 11 months of working from home my idea of a good time is going to the grocery and cleaning out my scrapbook room!

The oldies station in my town that played 50's-60's when I was growing up, was playing Def Leppard's Photograph the other day when I was channel scanning the local radio stations.

The songs of my youth are used as background music on commercials.
Members of Parliament look young and people in their 30s look like they’ve just left high school.

Dh and I are both overly annoyed that the changed garbage pick up day. But our routine is for Friday, not Wednesday. Why did they do this?  |

My daughter wears outfits that were popular when I was in high school, and calls them retro.
Every doctor at work looks like a baby, and I have to do mental math to figure out if they can really be a doctor.

I was watching football last night - major game, final of a big tournament - and at the end all the players were on the pitch for the presentation of medals and trophies. I was looking at some of the substitutes and wondering why they were allowed to play professional football at their age. Some of them looked barely old enough to shave!

I make an involuntary grunting noise when I get up off the floor We call these 'old man noises' after my brother-in-law who DH (19 years younger) would tease about this. Then Dh started making these noises. So far he hasn't noticed it in me but he's just not paying attention. I'm going to have to change my sexist terminology to 'old person noises.' |

I often look at police men and women and wonder if their parent know they're out on their own. I got my first speeding ticket a couple years ago. I wanted to ask the police officer that same thing! I would not be so rude, however! |

The grocery store soundtrack is ALL of the songs played at my college keg parties many moons ago. In the warehouse, the song "Must've Got Lost" was playing and I started singing along. The Pepsi rep joined in the chorus with me and then he looked at me and said "We're old. Nobody else knows who J. Geils is."
I got a side part and wear low-rise bootcuts (no skinny jeans for me). I'm OK with that.

Pretty much all of the dentists at the dental clinic I go to were born after I finished high school. I was telling one of the dentists there about a temporary filling I had put in when I was pregnant with my daughter back in '97, and asked how old he was at the time. He told me he was 10.

90% of the people i have been working with are born in the mid-late 90s. and this isn't a pizza joint - these "kids" are making $70-90k a year (plus 25% bonus!).
i saw a subaru commercial for the sporty staton wagon that had a violent femmes song...wtf??
i talk about my plantar fasciitis.
i have kinda been okay with the lack of get-togethers and working from home that covid has brought - no need to come up with excuses to decline, there just ARE no invites... (tongue in cheek, i miss my parents, wish this was easier on my kids and of course, feel for all the lost lives, medical, economic and mental consequences of covid)

Rofl Well, I can avoid it more at the moment but when I'm able to see my grandson (he's 4) somehow being on the floor, whether it's helping him with his shoes or playing, seems to happen quite often  |

My daughter is my dentist! my “old” is that date night is a trip to Menards and Taco Bell carryout (since in person dining was closed) |

I often look at police men and women and wonder if their parent know they're out on their own. I do this same thing with doctors, and at the vet's office. I know how many years of schooling they need to get where they are, do a quick mental calculation in my head, and then think boy, I'm old. I just expect that these sorts of people should *always* look older than me, for some reason, instead of looking like Doogie Howser. (and by referencing that particular tv show, you KNOW I'm old, lol!  ) |

I am a hockey fan. This year every single player on the team is young enough to be my child. Several are even younger than my youngest who is 22.
I found gray hairs in my eyebrows and a few of my eyelashes are gray. WTH?
And like someone above mentioned, my DD wears some styles I wore at her age and they're considered retro. I told her if I ever see stirrup pants come back, I will cry.
