What made you say "fuck, I'm old" today?

[~Elizabeth~]

Earlier tonight when I was looking for my reading glasses and forgot they were on top of my head. Lasik sounds more and more appealing.

Ha, I've done that a time or two!

One time I even walked into the bathroom looked in the mirror and wasn't paying attention to them on my head.

Yip, been there, done that.

It’s even worse when you realize you’re actually wearing them.

You feel silly too after you realized it?

I've done that with sunglasses that are prescription.

Hahaha. Yes. I usually slap myself on the forehead saying "Dumd ass, you just wasted 10 minutes looking for them"

Remembering that I used to keep cinema tickets, and that it cost less than a fiver.

I remember that.

My dad used to talk about going as a kid. Could get the ticket, drink, popcorn, and candy for like $3-5.

Wow Elizabeth, 43,143 posts!!! That must be some kind of record. . I had to read that number twice. Haha

Yes!

These days it’s nearly £15.

Then I remember which films I saw … and the ones I regretted seeing

Nearly $15 just for the tickets - another $15 for the drink, popcorn, & candy!

Popcorn and sweets. I usually get just sweets.

I’ll grumble about chocolate later. What is your go to cinema sweet?

Being excited about stocking up the laundry detergents/conditioners and scent boosters this weekend…

It truly is a highlight.

Only someone approaching late 20s and above will understand.

What made me feel old? Someone approaching late 20s considering themselves old!

I don’t think I’m “old” … of course I’m not.

But…

Being excited to spend a weekend re stocking essentials vs bar crawling and ending up at random after parties following clubbing as I did from 18-22 really does show a change. And that change is down to getting older for sure

Ps sorry for making you feel old.

I feel awful.

I take it back.

Me this weekend: “Good GOD this is exciting, stocking up on the laundry essentials and dry cupboard basics makes me feel so young!”

Sleep injuries are a thing these days…not even a fun reason for them!

And a sneeze is damn near life threatening.

No worries! I just thought it was funny given the average age, I assume, of the people who usually post here. Late 20s is definitely different than early 20s, for sure!

Someone approaching their late 20's thinking they're old...

Personally, hearing my children complain about the slang the "kids these days" use, makes me feel old!
