-when setting up plans for a date tomorrow night, we both agreed to try make the 7:30 movie because the 8:45 would get out too late.

- hearing someone else's car stereo radio while driving in my car pisses me off to no end, especially if its of the super bass variety.

When you're worried about health insurance and paying for your medical bills and considering moving somewhere cheap with a low tax rate so you can keep more of your money.

Consumer reports has its good points, but I lost all faith in their credibility when they did a comparison of digital cameras a year or two back. They pitted DSLRs against point-and-shoots, and ranked the DSLRs poorly for producing blurry pictures.

But I'll still use them when I buy my next used car.

I actually had a contribution to this thread, but I forgot what it was

-you feel like getting worked up, yelling, and/or screaming over sports takes way too much energy.
-you realize that you are older than a significant number of professional athletes, and that many of the ones your age are close to being past their prime.

- when you refer to the potential hires, PhD, btw , you are interviewing as "those kids"
- and when you then lament to your co-workers about how "the kids" coming out of school now are so entitled and annoying

you get up at 6 on the weekends to beat the crowds to the grocery store so you can buy groceries in peace where you are delighted by the price of Pepsi which turns in to the highlight of your day.

I live in Charleston, and im telling you, the crowd at lowes on saturday morning is insane. There are usually no less than 100 people crammed into the outdoor area.

I guess also being indicative of me getting older is that i become a crotchety, grumpy old man in a crowd of people like that, and much prefer to shop without being run over by 10 ignornant people.

i realize that the 90/10 rule is true almost everywhere

90 % of the population is fucking retarded.

10 % of the population actually runs shit and makes decisions.

i used to be idealistic and thought that people could make universally good decisions - but this is bullshit and the 10% are running the world. probably better to let them continue than to try to take their $$

While driving down the highway, you pass a car and say "Man, that's a sweet station wagon"

This happened yesterday, and immediately afterward, I died a little bit on the inside.

^ I blame it on the wife...I didn't have gray hair until I got married.

Now, if I told the barber to cut the gray out, he would break out the straight razor.

you are on a cruise with your best friend (sans husbands) and she points out 3 semi- good looking early 20s-something guys. you immediately caution her by saying that they are "waaay too young" and pointing out the lack of chest hair... same response for hot, up and coming actors

Probably been said, but here goes:

When I was a kid there were certain things that had dates on them. Like the sticker at cash registers that say "You have to be born by __/__/___ to purchase alcohol" or the life insurance commercials with the geriatric actors that say "If you were born between ____ and ____" at the end.

When I was a kid these dates were all ancient history. A date that I scarcely believed existed it was so long ago. Now the old dude's insurance has hit the mid 1960s for one of the cut-off dates and the stickers at the register conjure memories of middle school - perhaps memories of when you had your first drink.

when:
Your friends double as business and political contacts.

You have a schedule to rebalance your retirement accounts
Drinks with the guys is a few beers and home by 10
Drinks with the guys only happens when you can all shed you're wives and kids on the same evening
Your college friends are almost all married, and half of them have kids
Your realize you new intern was born in the 90s (that one hurts)

sometimes I crave coffee and it's too late for caffeine, so I get decaf

but decaf during the day is just pointless

Hahaha. And I'm pretty sure you're older than me. But I think it's easier for a girl to date older.

I'm 26, but went out with a really young 42-year-old last night. Gotta wonder why someone's still single at 42, ya know? He looks really young though. The 30-year-old I just broke up with looked older than the 42-year-old. Drugs are bad, mmmkay kids?
