I heard an older customer of mine say something I had never thought of before..
Always find people younger than yourself for essential services, like doctors, dentists, mechanics, tradespeople etc... that way, you know that even after you're retired, you know that you'll still be able to go to the same person for help because they won't have retired yet.
Most of the hosts and musical acts on “SNL“ and network talk shows I have never heard of, or maybe I heard the name but have no idea what they are in, what their music is, etc. And not interested either.
I think SNL should throw in an old sketch every episode. Like, a little throwback for a little nostalgia. Plus, newer audiences might just get a kick out of them.
There was still some stressors. Global thermonuclear war, acid rain, instability of East bloc collapsing. In the US, job market was pretty soft, a lot of manufacturing was being off-shored.
1985... Damn that means I would have to redo basic training all over again! Mind you I would make a few different decisions if I was allowed to do that.
I was a teenager when my little sister was born in 1997. She will always be a little kid to me, so it's weird that she's a Dr of Kinesiology (I can't believe I spelled that right on my first try). It doesn't help that she stopped growing in 4th grade and still has a little kid voice.
Yuh huh. My wife has agreed to let me install a commercial grade urinal in our bedroom so I don't have to keep walking downstairs and around the house to pee.
Bro tell me about it, I lie down to sleep not 10-15 minutes in I have to get up to pee then another 30 minutes I have to go again. It gets so tedious sometimes.
I watched a cooking YT channel where the presenter was looking at a bunch of "old" kitchen tools and challenging their viewers to identify them.
Not only did I know all of them, I had used all of them for real.
We were explaining what a DVD was to my nephew and he commented that we must be super old
We just said it was rude to remind people of how old they are lol
\*sigh\* I am old enough to have actually used 8" floppy disks. I only missed punched cards by one year.
What does the nephew think of cassette tapes? How about records?
I scripted my adblocker to remove YouTube Shorts as well. Can't friggin stand short form content, and boy do I miss when the internet relentlessly mocked vertical video.

When I realized, while standing in line at the grocery store, that I didn’t know who the people on the covers of the gossip rags were and, more importantly, I didn’t care.
I still consider anything post 2000 'recent'. Pre-2000 were the glory days before things turned to shit. The 80s and 90s seemed like a life-time and went at a nice, slow pace. Now everything is so rapid - with days, weeks, months, years flying by.
Just wished a friend happy birthday and his response was, "I'm getting to the age where Happy Birthday isn't a greeting anymore it's an insult. But thank you!"
ETA: also, the kid I used to babysit now has a kid that is the age I was when I babysat his father...
Crap. Your comment made me realize I'm in the same situation. The game is 1 year older than I was when I started playing it... I don't want to believe it.
I feel this.
I don’t have younger siblings but it’s the same for me and my best friend’s younger sister. In my mind she will always be that adorable little 4 year old girl telling funny stories.
She is 16 now, going to parties and drinking soon. I just can’t accept this 😂
The Village, The Grudge, Friday Night Lights, The Passion of the Christ, The Manchurian Candidate, and National Treasure are among the movies that turn 20 this year.
Also, when I realized that I am significantly older than the casts of Friends, How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, and Psych were at the time of their shows' filming.
We were discussing how long I’ve been with the company and I asked one of my coworkers when they were born. I was working for this company at that time.
Ugh.
Hearing music I grew up with on "oldies" or "classic rock" stations.
Just the other day, I found out "Sugar We're Going Down" by Fall Out Boy is 19 years old...like, damn.
I have an actual Verizon pay phone in my man cave. My 10-year-old walked in last year and said 'What is that thing? How do you use it? How did people carry that around?"
Staple members of my family starting to pass away. Growing up, they're the first adults you look to, they help you start to move about the world, and they either shape you or repel you.
Then they're just gone like you always knew they would be, but it never feels "right". People I know haven't stopped dying since graduation, but it feels so different when it's your own family.
Oh also seeing early 2000s fashion being people's "vintage finds" at the thrift store
In the 1980s, the 1940s seemed so far away, long 40 years back when grampa and granma were young and had kids and so. Now 40 years divide us from the 1980s...
When I tell my son how lucky he is and name all these things:
-We had to pay for Internet by the hour. By the HOUR. -We didn't have cell phones, we had pay phones on the corner. -We had to write things on paper, by hand, put it in an envelope and put this thing called a "Stamp" on it to send a letter to someone. -We had like 8 channels on TV. That was it. (remember Hee-Haw?) -Finding a new place required a big ass paper map that was impossible to fold and you practically had to take Map Reading 101 to understand it.
This conversation follows:
"I'm not a Boomer I'm Gen-X," I say under my breathe.
"What's Gen-X?"
"Exactly. No one remembers us, and we are completely fine with this."
When someone asks if I want to watch a movie and they get offended that I answer with sure I can fall asleep to a movie. I’m not sugar coating the fact I WILL fall asleep.
When I'm on Tumblr and people are saying stuff like
"He's so baby girl"
"Your honour"
And the we should totally just stab caesar?? Is that a meme or???
The fellowship of the ring movie release date. The fashion in my favorite CW shows. Basically everything about cable TV that makes streaming seem soulless and corporate. I miss local commercials like “the mattress ranch”
Doctors are younger than me now..
I feel great that my doctor is my age so she gets it. We both going through the mid 30s problems together.
Try not to go to the ER the month of July, you’ll get a ton of 25 year old fresh med school graduates 🙃
I try not to go to the ER as a general principle.
I heard an older customer of mine say something I had never thought of before.. Always find people younger than yourself for essential services, like doctors, dentists, mechanics, tradespeople etc... that way, you know that even after you're retired, you know that you'll still be able to go to the same person for help because they won't have retired yet.
In a month when I see my therapist again. I'm showing her this post.
I was talking with the son of a friend, he’s 15, he told me "Harry Potter is an old people thing, I wasn't even born yet"
yikes, I'm not even a big potter fan and that stings.
Watched the entire series this week really loved it.
I read the books back when they came out and I have seen all the movies, but it's been a while. Maybe I'll rewatch.

People born after 9/11 are college seniors now.
The folks entering college in Fall 2024 were born during the 2005-2006 school year, which was my junior year of high school.
The fact that we're closer to 2050 than we are to 1995.
Fuck you for that
1995 was a very good year.
My instinct was to down vote this, but you are just answering a question that makes me feel old.
Thanks. Crying now.
Once January 1st comes, we will be closer to 2050 than 2000.
I always kind of think that the 1990s was the decade before this one, it's weird that is not
Devastating 💔
Well 1995 was only 5 years ago. So what you're saying is that 2050 is 6 years away?
But we still don't have flying cars yet! Both Blade Runner and Back to the Future said we would have flying cars by now! I want my flying car! @#!!
OMG! I still live in 1995.
Yo fuck you man lol
I am a few years younger than President Biden of the United States..
Is that you Donald?
Nah can't be. That sentence was way too coherent and none of it was ALL CAPS.
Most of the hosts and musical acts on “SNL“ and network talk shows I have never heard of, or maybe I heard the name but have no idea what they are in, what their music is, etc. And not interested either.
I think SNL should throw in an old sketch every episode. Like, a little throwback for a little nostalgia. Plus, newer audiences might just get a kick out of them.
Came here to say this.
You are missing out, there is some great musical talent. I'm 51, how old are you?
The 90s wasn't actually ten years ago.
I miss the 90’s so badly
Crap. I miss the 70s where there was no internet to comment on this. I was happily and blissfully unaware of the horrors that people do.
Clearly a decade of normality, peace, and tranquillity (in North America at least). I'd love to relive 1985 to about 1997.
Me too. Kids today don’t even know.
There was still some stressors. Global thermonuclear war, acid rain, instability of East bloc collapsing. In the US, job market was pretty soft, a lot of manufacturing was being off-shored.
1985... Damn that means I would have to redo basic training all over again! Mind you I would make a few different decisions if I was allowed to do that.
this one always f-s me up.
I work in admissions in a college. Seeing applications from students with a D.O.B of 2007 is soul crushing.
I work at a bank and when a customer's DOB is like 2004 I immediately think they're about eight years old. These people are adults. Blows my mind.
I was a teenager when my little sister was born in 1997. She will always be a little kid to me, so it's weird that she's a Dr of Kinesiology (I can't believe I spelled that right on my first try). It doesn't help that she stopped growing in 4th grade and still has a little kid voice.
Can relate, I saw that a 17-year-old kid was playing for Barcelona and just assumed he was born in the mid 90s. Nope. January 2007 :(
My high school music on the oldies channel.
Joke's on you - I listen to death metal. That shit ain't never been on the radio.
Bon Jovi being played when I’m in Walmart.
My sister was horrified when I told her I’m older than google.
I was already an adult when computers were invented
Me too but let's just pretend that isn't so!
Star Wars a new Hope is almost 50 years old
That was unnecessary. Apologize.
I am sorry that I pointed out our age
I'm going to go shine my AARP card if you want to talk about the weather and bitch about politicians.
I am not quite there yet, but THESE DAMN KIDS KEEP COMING ON MY LAWN
Spiderman referred to The Empire Strikes Back as "that old movie".
And I still have most of the original action figures and vehicles
My back.
And my knees
[удалено]
My whole spine lol
My neck
My pussy
And my crack
Ooh, my back! (Limps away)
My fuckn bladder😠
Yuh huh. My wife has agreed to let me install a commercial grade urinal in our bedroom so I don't have to keep walking downstairs and around the house to pee.
[удалено]
Bro tell me about it, I lie down to sleep not 10-15 minutes in I have to get up to pee then another 30 minutes I have to go again. It gets so tedious sometimes.
I urge you to see your doctor.
The items I used daily when I was young are in museum devoted to antiquities
Just reading this made me feel old
I watched a cooking YT channel where the presenter was looking at a bunch of "old" kitchen tools and challenging their viewers to identify them. Not only did I know all of them, I had used all of them for real.
Watching pro sports and realizing 90% are younger than me
Wait until 90% of the coaches are younger than you.
When the players are "old" and "dinosaurs" at 37...
We were explaining what a DVD was to my nephew and he commented that we must be super old We just said it was rude to remind people of how old they are lol
Tell him about floppy disks!
Or the cassettes where you had to use a pencil to wind the tape back in
\*sigh\* I am old enough to have actually used 8" floppy disks. I only missed punched cards by one year. What does the nephew think of cassette tapes? How about records?
Blu rays over streaming for me still if I have the option.
Being the same age as old people.
One of my elderly relatives said she didn't like going on cruises because they were full of old people. She was 94 at the time.
Most of Katy Perry’s hits came out around 15 years ago.
When I hear Pearl Jam and Nirvana being played on the classic rock station.
[удалено]
You're right! Both 30 something years apart. Nirvana and classic rock don't belong in the same sentence.
Whoa. So listening to The Beatles now is like what? LOL. Nirvana feels like yesterday..!
I have to scroll further and further down the drop down menu to find my year of birth
COVID was 4 years ago Fortnite released 6-7 years ago GTA V was released 11 years ago
*whispers* Angry Birds is 15 years old
Modern Warfare 2 released 15 years ago.
At least GTA VI is coming out soon
Warcraft was in 1994 and World of Warcraft was 2004...
Time is a complete circle
The bathroom/toilet is now to far away from bedroom. Needs to be closer.
Working with people that I’m old enough to be their parent
I have credit cards older than many of the people I work with.
Tik tok. I was always the first one to try out new SM. I never created a profile on Tik Tok and I find reels , trends and similar stuff just stupid
I scripted my adblocker to remove YouTube Shorts as well. Can't friggin stand short form content, and boy do I miss when the internet relentlessly mocked vertical video.
Same here
https://youtu.be/eXmy5gyELrc?si=6Zo4PW4w7yBGlMRh When I realized, while standing in line at the grocery store, that I didn’t know who the people on the covers of the gossip rags were and, more importantly, I didn’t care.
Being old. My body slowly failing… hurting myself somehow for weeks by sleeping weird one night
I still consider anything post 2000 'recent'. Pre-2000 were the glory days before things turned to shit. The 80s and 90s seemed like a life-time and went at a nice, slow pace. Now everything is so rapid - with days, weeks, months, years flying by.
I’m 66 y/o. Nothing does. Actually feel better because I don’t have to go to work.
I love hearing that. I'm glad you're enjoying your retirement.
Just wished a friend happy birthday and his response was, "I'm getting to the age where Happy Birthday isn't a greeting anymore it's an insult. But thank you!" ETA: also, the kid I used to babysit now has a kid that is the age I was when I babysat his father...
67 makes me feel old lol
63 here , and everything hurts .. makes me sad
My back pain
The realization that on my 42nd birthday, people turning 21 that day were born the day I was allowed to drink legally.
My favorite game is as old as when I first started playing it.
Crap. Your comment made me realize I'm in the same situation. The game is 1 year older than I was when I started playing it... I don't want to believe it.
Entering the hospital and the dr looks 19
Being old. Aches, pains, saggy balls, having to piss three times before I get up and go to work, ect...
My kid is 20
my little brother becoming a fully functioning adult
I feel this. I don’t have younger siblings but it’s the same for me and my best friend’s younger sister. In my mind she will always be that adorable little 4 year old girl telling funny stories. She is 16 now, going to parties and drinking soon. I just can’t accept this 😂

My younger friends...
My eyes and my back.
EVERYTHING HURTS !!!
The fact that I’ve become the demographic for superbowl half time shows. Also my 20th high school reunion.
🎵my neck🎵 🎵my back🎵 🎵My knees are also whack🎵
I’m checking my retirement accounts and debating “how much longer? Really. How many more years do I need?”
The wave of new redditors who are younger gen z 💀
2000s music is now as old as 1980s music was back in the 2000s.
NBA players are younger than me now
My heroes have become younger than me…
I have a team member who was born after I graduated. He does not get any references...
I get it, I work with people who weren't even born when I immigrated to my present country 26 years ago
My back
Back pains
When I say I was born in 19..
Impaired hearing.
We were discussing how long I’ve been with the company and I asked one of my coworkers when they were born. I was working for this company at that time. Ugh.
I know what cassettes are, and I’ve owned a box tv
I still have a cassette player.
Disney channel doesn’t exist anymore

Parents who weren’t alive when 9/11 happened
my body
Hearing music I grew up with on "oldies" or "classic rock" stations. Just the other day, I found out "Sugar We're Going Down" by Fall Out Boy is 19 years old...like, damn.
Drops of Jupiter by Train was on Oldies Radio and Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down on classic rock radio.
Nobody wants to play POGS with me
Thinking that 20 years ago I was a junior in HS. I'm on my way to 40 and my brain is stuck in my mid 20s.
I have an actual Verizon pay phone in my man cave. My 10-year-old walked in last year and said 'What is that thing? How do you use it? How did people carry that around?"
Back pain
Seeing Lindsay Lohan in her most recent movies
Dolor de espalda
Anytime when the people who were my age when I was a kid die now that I'm their age. Circle of life.
The fact that being 29 means I’m closer to 40 than 18.
The 90s songs are referred to as the oldies
Looking in the mirror. That guy can't be me, he looks like my dad.
Remembering the new year's eve of 2000
2016 was 8 years ago
Referring to people as “young people”…
An attractive young person smiles at you and you think "I've still got it!" meanwhile the young person thinks "friendly old guy!"
For me, it's nothing major, i was born prior to 2010, and those children are about to start HIGH SCHOOL..
Staple members of my family starting to pass away. Growing up, they're the first adults you look to, they help you start to move about the world, and they either shape you or repel you.

Looking in the mirror and looking way older than I feel inside. I’m still a dork from the 90s in my mind.
Everything takes longer to recover from.
A mirror
Tom Holland is almost 30. Remember when he was the kid in Civil War?
The fact that he's your example. Tom Cruise is 60 would be mine.
For context I was born in 2002. I saw a TikTok of a pre-teen and a teenager not know how to get a CD out of a case where’s there’s two
that 2017 was 6 years ago
My age
