what's the moment you realized you were getting old

[PleasureMoose]

Since its gotten colder I've caught myself making a pot of coffee after dinner every night. I remember my granddad and dad doing this when I was a child and wondering why they would do it. Is this an old man move?

Absolutely.

I check the weather every morning

First of all, you two are what, less than 40. One, you know you are old when you can't figure out how to add an avatar or whatever and second, BPH ... you two spring chickens know nothing

When you start working with people your children's age.

Not that I know anything about that.

 

[racernhra]

Excessive nose and ear hairs.

Wake up at 5:30 am having to go to the bathroom every morning

 

[Belezabro]

Having to piss every 30 minutes and, if I sit for more than 10 minutes, every time I stand up there is pain and stiffness involved. Seriously, it takes me about 10 steps every time to get full mobility.

when going to a nightclub in Las Vegas became not fun. Enjoy going to a dive bar with the rest of the olds.

Have a relative who couldn't go 10 minutes without having to pee. His bladder wasn't emptying. Had the "Green Light Laser" shoved up his pee hole and the prostate cleaned out. Fixed the problem although he had a catheter inserted for 3 days afterwards. Said it provided better mobility and lifestyle than knee replacement.

 

[Jayhacker]

Not being able to sit on the stool for more than 10 minutes before your legs go to sleep. Used to be able to do a 30 minute session. I walked the entire 18 holes until I turned 60 and finally had to buy a golf cart.

I bet you have less 'roids now.

Some of my problems are self-induced as I drink about a gallon of water a day and still lift heavy weights (heavy for me anyway). But, I'm figuring out this quality of life thing as I age, like the importance of fully recovering from workouts, not eating too much, stretching, walking, etc.

I've noticed that I wake up less during the nights if I stop drinking fluids by 8 PM.

Bro, this has more to do with you running a Brothel out of yore house! I too would be hopped up on coffee (and I don’t even drink it) to run a brothel 24/7.

lol that's a thing of the past. I've moved on from that lifestyle.. which is now why I drink coffee

I fell roller skating at my granddaughters birthday party, and two fourteen year olds come rushing up, and were honestly terrified I was close to death.

2010 early 30s walking down flight of steps to go to work and have extreme knee n back pain.

If that's the case, I became old a few years out of college. Was frequenting them so often, it got a little old.

 

[LVRebel]

For me, seeing the gray hairs coming in on my chest. I got out of the shower one morning and thought a few of the hairs were still wet, because they were glistening a bit. Upon closer inspection, nope, gray/white hairs coming in. And those things are thick and strong...like regular hair on crazy old man steroids!

 

[LVRebel]

Also, in the past few years, I've managed to hurt my back and my shoulder while sleeping. I've dealt with back issues for a while, so I generally have a good idea how to work that out, but the shoulder issue took about 2 months of physical therapy, and it's still not right. I think I did permanent damage, but can't possibly imagine how that happened, or what I could have done to it.

 

[ttyh]

When my ortho diagnosed my hip pain as advanced arthritis. I just got home from a painful run. No pain no gain, I guess, but fuck me. CBD saves the day for me, though.

 

[Oler Ted]

Once I started taking a daily fiber supplement

Agree 100%. I'm all about the dives and joints. Gimme a good bar conversation over the thumping music of a nightclub/hipster joint.

I said "my knee hurts, it must be getting ready to rain", then a little later it starts raining. Fuck me. 36yo

 

[Nape]

I'll say I'm lucky.....56 years old but feel 30. I've taken care of myself inside and out, I eat absolutely zero processed foods (outside of cheese and salumi), and am very active (sex, golf, cooking, hanging with kids).

 

[BamaRidger]

When I had lunch with John Croot_Overlord and found out he is 10 years younger than my youngest son.
ZFG..... we had a great time would do again.

I still get to whine and complain about my old man problems in this thread though.

I relate to @t_money86 about going down the stairs. Some days my feet and knees kill me and some days they don't. Fortunately I've never had back pain issues.

I also get the shoulder sleeping mentioned above. Once a week I have to do rehab exercises in the office to pull my left shoulder back in alignment

I was the catcher so we can leave it at that

In my mid 30s, I THOUGHT I hurt my back sleeping funny. Woke up hurting, but hadn't done anything to injure it. Went away, came back, went away, came back...finally got MRI and had to have surgery for a herniated disc. Wouldn't wish chronic back pain on anybody.

 

[MIZCDB]

When jerking off became more trouble than it’s worth.

 

[TheGratefulReb]

Being called "sir" by younger people.

Thought I threw my back out pulling up carpet when I turned the wrong way. Thought "well that's a new one".
