I know I'm getting old when... - Page 2

When I go to Best Buy to ask where I can find the "Fraggle Rock" DVD and the clerk says "Fraggle what? Is that a documentary?"

...when the guy I was dating didn't know that 867-5309 (Jenny) was a song long before it was in a Cingular commercial. And the same guy had no idea of what the significance of Video Killed the Radio Star is.

Can you say litmus test?

when youre dropping dime on the kids down the alley partying etc at 3am instead of trying to figure out how to crash the party

Not to mention the use of the phrase "dropping dime on".

Best Buy sounds like a painful place...

When going in to Best Buy and asking for STP and they have no clue...but she did say 'Are they known by another name?' and that she knew so that was better.

Or, talking to a young man {who looked older but was graduating high school...not that that matters too much...} and surfing comes up. I ask 'So, you ever see Eddie Vedder out there?' and he is like 'Anyone better?' and I say ' No, Eddie Vedder.' And he says 'Oh, who is that?' and I just about die. {I asked because I thought it was a well known fact that EV comes around and when he does he goes surfing.}

The young peeps at work? Must bite my tongue from giving them advice 'cause I know they won't listen...did I?

When your arms aren't long enought to read anything without your glasses on.

Wow, I love you guys!

I know I'm getting old when all the guys in major professional sports are starting to look more and more like kids.

... When I catch a clip of The Singing Bee on E! and my mind immediately races to the 1980 flick The Final Countdown. CHEESY, but yeah... The fiiiiinal coooountdooowwwn!

... When I'm around my 15 year old sisters.

YA!

Remember when it seemed like 2010 was so far off?
