What was your “I’m getting old” moment?

when I couldn't read pill bottles anymore
When I go into another room and forgot why I went in there. It's not until I return to my original spot that I remember why I got up in the first place.

@DreamyCrush That happens a lot actually. It’s the doorway effect. Our brains are used to immediately analyzing our surroundings to give us clues on what to do and how to behave. Whenever you enter a new room or a new area, this process starts over again. It’s why you can’t remember what happened in the last room.

It’s only when you go back that your memory makes the connections it needs to to remember what you needed in the first place

When I noticed that there are people the same age as me who are starting to get grey hairs. Hopefully I'm a long way off from that(my dad didn't start going grey until he reached his late 50's/early 60's).

When my sons gf and her friend decided to double piggyback me for a selfie at 5am. That was all well and good, but when the second chick hopped on my knee blew out.

Being lectured to by children on the internet. I knew I was too old for it then, and I'm even older now.

@xixgun Then grow up. Just a suggestion.

Lying in a hospital bed after knee replacement, wondering how many other joints will need replacing.
