You know you're getting old when you start using the hand rail to go up and down stairs. I noticed a few weeks ago that I was holding onto it (and kinda hard too) when I was just walking down to my basement.

You know you're getting old when you can not for the life of you figure out a new gadget, but your 12 year old can do it with ease.

You know you're getting old when you hear younger people talking and you have NO idea what they're saying.

When I can't remember things that were always at my fingertips.

I feel old when I realize that kids I babysat, are now parents themselves.
Also, when I start getting hungry around Senior Citizen "Early Bird Special" hour at 4pm.

I wanna say "You know you're old when some song that was released your senior year of HS is called 'old school'," but these days anything 5 years old is called "old school", so that lets me off the hook.

I actually wrote this some years ago with the same title as this thread. I doubt if many here remember all my references.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE GETTING OLD IF:
You collected soft drink bottles for their two-cent deposit, and you could buy something with two cents.
There was an "ice box" in your kitchen.
You remember people saying "I Like Ike."
You feel you personally know Howdy Doody, Clarabelle, or Buffalo Bob.
You remember not having television and you listened to shows on the radio.
You watched black and white movies at the theater.
You watched movies that weren't rated - and didn't need to be.
The first stereo album (vinyl) you heard was a sound track of trains, planes, and thunderstorms.
You rode the Illinois Central "City of New Orleans" when it was the best way to get from Chicago to New Orleans.
You traveled cross-country by car (58 Oldsmobile) on a U.S. Highway.
Traveling by airliner was uncommon, and they all had propellers.
You used a white or colored restroom or drank from a white or colored drinking fountain.
Your first "Pizza Pie" was a memorable experience.
You bought cigarettes at 30 cents a pack (with no health warning) or a Coca Cola for 6 cents a bottle or a hair cut for 25 cents.
You bought gasoline at less than 30 cents a gallon at a "service station" where they pumped the gas, washed your windshield, and checked your oil.
You worked for a minimum wage of $1.65 an hour, and lived comfortably on it.
You ate one of MacDonald's first million hamburgers.
You looked at Playboy centerfolds that didn't show pubic hair.
You got excited listening to the public address speaker in school as Alan Shepard went into space on a 15-minute flight in a Mercury capsule.

I was going to add the former as well but I can still hold out until at least 6 for dinner. I have also yet to yell at a clerk, "Shut up and give me my damn discount, sonny!"

You know you're getting old when your knees start acting up every time it rains.
