When people on buses start offering you their seats.

 

I've really noticed this more in the national parks, just because my pack is older than many of them doesn't mean I can't stand on the bus...

You get annoyed at the Classic Rock station for playing an entire set of "new" songs.

 

The first time you see a doctor who is younger than you is a bit of a shock but now you can't remember the last time you saw a doctor older than you.

 

You automatically root for the oldest contestant on any reality show you watch. You want older sports players to do well regardless of what team they play for.

 

You realize that you saw this evening's Turner Classic Movies lineup in the theater when they were first released.

 

You always park in the same general area at your frequent errand spots so you can find your vehicle again.

You are the first table at the restaurant for dinner.

You won't eat spicy food after 7 because you won't be able to fall asleep at your regular time.

The cashier hands you your change and says ; "Thank you Mr. Smith".

A mother and her adult daughter pass you on the sidewalk and you pay more attention to the mother.

You need to get up 2 hours before fishing/hunting partners so you can finish all of your preparations in time.

Someone calls out for Mr Smith and you don't wait for your dad to respond.

The couch you moved last spring won't budge this summer when you push it.

Starting the chainsaw tears your rotator cuff.

When you realize Cal Ripken, Jr. really did just turn 55 and thought he was older than you.

You have more hair growing out of your ears than on the top of your head.

I think with the exception of the hair in my ears, almost all of these fit.

 

I hadn't really grasped how far advanced in geezer/geezelledom I'd become.

 

I'm not sure I'm gonna thank Mr. Ski for starting this thread... :wacko:
