two days turning everything out for my phone looking behind furniture and all sorts to find it on the printer in arms reach just to my left obscured by a sheet of a4. not even a pile.
Never going out anywhere without a pair of tweezers because those bloody bristles appear within 5 minutes. You run your fingers over your chin and you can feel the little blighter and just HAVE to blindly make a stab at plucking it
When your grandson comes to visit you, and he tells you he's going for a pint with his mates, plus when did he grow a beard .
I felt like that when my son (who works away from home) came back one weekend with a beard - he shouldn't be able to grow one at his age. Oh actually he should, he's 24!
When you're left behind by technology. I do have an i-pod but my kids have to put the music on it for me.
When I want to record something using Sky+ I call it "videoing"
My husband still works things out in inches, pounds and shillings. Luckily I started school the year of decimalisation so don't have that problem.
(I'm 48 btw) - just had to calculate that - I forget my age but I always remember the year I was born so can work it out!
When reading through posts in the latest "you know you're getting old" thread and seeing others post what you posted years ago. (Not a dig at repetitiveness or at anyone, but a genuine sign of feeling older)

When you download an album and remember that you once had it on cassette.
You can't remember what you did the previous evening, but you didn't get drunk.
When someone talks about "wireless" and you immediately think of a radio.
When your first phone number had four digits ... and you can remember it ... but you don't have a clue what your current one is.
When you read that the price of a second class stamp has gone up to 54p and you think "That's over ten shillings!"
Shows what I know I thought they only happened at perimenopause
if only
I've found the remote for the telly in the fridge, that was after trying to change channels with the phone ;-)
When you see someone running around and you feel jealous.
or porridge oats in the dog bowl
When a young person wants to know what you mean by saying you are going to the pictures.
one wanted to know what dinosaurs are like in the flesh.
I've tried to answer my mobile with the remote control more than once.
Also when I get down on my knees to do something I look around to see if there is anything else to do whilst I'm down there.
Btw I'm 'over 21' and that's all you're getting.
This thread is a joy.:D
That doesn't sound old, that sounds like a health condition.
When you start tutting under breath at how teenagers dress these days.
When you spot a potato and mimic the Smash robots' laughing, only adults over 35 get the joke.
When you realise Sean Connery is 84 years old.
