Back N9ne Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 Thing's I've done that make me feel old: "Read various threads on Nerd Fitness." Yessir, I'm old now. 2 Quote Link to comment
Nomad Jay Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 This doesn't strictly meet the criteria for this thread, but I'm gonna share it anyway. This week I'm observing a muay thai class (deciding if it might be something I want to take up). There's a couple of high schoolers out on the mat. About half-way through one of the parents sitting nearby turns to me and asks "So, which one of these kids is yours?" 4 Quote "If you would improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid." - Epictetus "You just gotta listen to your body, unless it's saying anything about stopping, pain, your joints, or needing water."

MrUgly72 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 I was in a meeting with my new boss in a conference room. One of the five fluorescent light fixtures flickered out while we were talking. I looked up, and in my best Picard voice I said: There are **FOUR** lights! He just stared at me. I laughed and said 'Sorry, from Star Trek:TNG.' He laughed and said yeah, it went off the air before he was born. 3 1 Quote Look me up! MapMyFitness MyFitnessPal Fitbit Link to comment
Onorexis Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 I have a walking stick, and every time I get up my joints pop like overfilled bubble wrap. Doing great for 31! Quote Link to comment
Wagyu Swag Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 One day at work, explaining to an 18-year-old server how to make a long-distance call on a touch-tone phone. "Okay so once you hear the dial tone you push the number 1, then the area code..." Quote Link to comment
LondonIrishEwok Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Just got reading glasses, now I have to be extra vigilant about keeping my hair and beard neatly trimmed or I look like "New Hampshire Walter White" Quote How you do anything, is how you do everything! Link to comment
ScottyK Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 When taking pictures on my cell phone, if it's a particular important picture, I'll take two or three, to make sure it actually "took". Throwback to the days of 35mm film, and you had no idea if the picture would come out until you got it developed. Noticing records are coming back into circulation. Looking for the cassettes that were always near record and not finding any. Right before I retired from the military, noticing that I had been in the military longer than the incoming kids were on this earth. Not trusting any streaming service, because I grew up in the days of dial up internet. Quote Link to comment
XTEDTATION Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 I'm kind of in a weird limbo with my age at the minute (24) because obviously i'm still really young and get excited for things like new video game releases or chicken nuggets but then I also feel old when i'm like walking through a shop and see something such as a mop that looks cool and i'm like 'woah have you seen this! look how cool this is' to my partner..

Astreja Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 On a Discord chat last night, I had to explain the origins of the phrase "Same Bat-time, Same Bat-channel" to the youngest participant. (A contemporary and I then concurred that when we watched the Beatles live on Ed Sullivan, we couldn't hear the music because of the girls screaming.) 1 Quote Astreja K.

I use that line almost every time I re-book a client.
