You remember what a Vega, Pinto, Maverick, and Duster looks like. Not to mention a Germlin and the worlds famous Pacer.

What's worse is you can remember your family or neighbors having one..!

You'd go to the video store and rent a VCR to watch the movies you just rented and the thing weighed 240 lbs, it took forever to figure out how to hook it up, and the door popped out the top.

People dressed up like the band members in KISS and it didn't seem so pathetic.

The tv isn't coming in so good...go out and turn the antenna...

$1.00 would keep you entertained.

Toys required an imagination.

The latest computer game was a text game. Wait, you can play games on a computer..?

you're having casual conversation about various topics with coworkers or younger relatives and you use the phrase 'when I was your age.' I've actually caught myself doing this with a 25 year old coworker and my kid sister who is only 21. lol

Or how about "We didn't have toys like that when I was a kid."

Or "I never had a cell phone.."

You know you're getting old ....
You wish the car next to you would stop playing their music so loud.

YES! I still remember thinking "Man, I'm gettin' old..." when I did that.

I know i am getting old when I look at somepost by younger CF'ers and think....
"Wait until you're older and you have experienced life - then see if you feel the same way."

I know my mom told me that when i was in my late teens/early twenties and i thought, "whatever"! LOL Boy, the joke was on me.

[ChristianDude777]

You finally get it all together, but then you can't remember where you put it!

And by the time you remember where it is, you're too tired to get up and get it. Not that it matters 'cause by now you've forgotten what it was you couldn't find.

 

[Tumbleweed64]
