You know you're getting old when.....

That's more of a symptom of "broke" or "boring". Plenty of old farts still like fast cars.

Right , saving money is always boring . Not having a car payment for 14 years though has been quite nice.

I had a mild soul crushing moment when I noticed just about everyone calls me sir.

I was going to add

... when strangers begin to call you "Sir" (and it's not worth your time to bother correcting them, because you know what they mean).

I'm just laughing at all the poor old sods that are finding new nose and ear hairs bwahaha. How about the random solo white ninja hair that grows to about 2 inches on your forehead before you notice it in the mirror one morning and wonder how the fuck you could have missed it for all the months it must have taken to grow.

Then you wonder who saw it and didnt mention anything...

... when you remember mileage not being a factor because gas was cheaper than water.

When you talk about shows from the 90's and no one knows what you're talking about...

Doogie Howser
News Radio
Sliders
Farscape

That's partly because those are all fucking terrible shows that no one remembers for good reason.

You start watching what you eat and consider introducing more fiber into your diet.

When it occurs too you, that a man could be wealthy beyond belief. If he invented a cochlear implant that auto muted the drivel that spews from drama holes of anyone under 40.

...when you think twice about stepping down off stuff that is over a foot high off the ground.

When you realize that Nirvana's "Nevermind" is older now than the Beatles "Sgt Peppers" was when Nevermind came out.

Sorry to burst your old man bubble but the drinking age has not been under 18 since before prohibition. So you are either in your 90s or full of shit. Maybe you meant to say 18 I hope not though and we can now begin an online rustle over drinking age law history.

The state of kansas was 18 until the 70s or so. My dad tells stories of driving to kansas to buy beer in highschool(2 hour drive) in the late 60s. I'm sure they weren't the only state.

Here's a handywiki linkfor you.

One of the rare, distinct moments I remember from middle school (in CT) was my science teacher talking about being able to buy beer at 18 which was true from 1972-1982. Your state's mileage may vary.

God bless Louisiana, not raising the age to 21 until 1996. Damn, I could have been drinking there at 18 had I known(turned 18 in 1995)
