When people don't know what this is: My brother and I played this all the time and no one knows what the hell it is anymore. I'm sure most people would try and call someone on it. Dude, I'm 19 and even I know what the ColecoVision is! Then again, I am a HUGE video game lover and even studied the history of video games.

My girlfriends sister has just gone off to uni (she's 18 but was like 14 when I first met her) and I've just finished. That makes me feel old even though I'm only 21.
The job I work in is also full of 17-18 years olds so I'm one of the oldest people there.

Like someone else said, when I realize some of my friends and co-workers were born in the 90's. Granted I was born in 89, but still...
Plus short younger little kids, have grown to be big muscular teenagers. WTF!

The Simpsons being on TV for as long as I've been alive makes me feel old.

The first signs started kicking in a few years back, the first is when debuting premiership footballers were younger than me.
The main one is my daily moan that music, TV, wrestling, video games, politics, kids, chocolate bars etc were all better in my day.

My little sister is about to graduate high school next year and my little brother is driving.
My niece is in 1st grade and my younger niece will start school next year.
Seeing old games come to XBOX Live as "Arcade Classics" that I played when they first came out.
Also as a poster mentioned earlier, hearing people how they have been drunk 5 days in a row just sound immature to me. And I just turned 21.
Talking to a friend about South Park and I was talking about the first seasons and I realized that the show started 11 years ago.

The fact that when I do apply to go to college, the vast majority of also doing so will be younger than me.
I do look forward to being in my retirement years, but that right there is just terrifying.

Someone mentioning "Count Duckula", The show started in 1988, the same year I was born, and hearing Kids these days, taking about Duckula, makes my back hurt.

I'm 25 and felt old for the first time this year, really when I saw the tobacco calenders that you must be "born on this date in 1990". I just had a convo about this the other day. I was like, "Holy Macanoli, 1990?" I was already in third grade then. Also: - Hearing a song that transports me to a year of high school, only to realize that was 8-12 ago, depending on the grade. - Watching "Are You Afraid of the Dark" and realizing how much I loved the show...when I was 9. And now I'm nearly 26 and watching it on Nicktoons...making me feel EVEN older. - Whenever anyone talks about something that happened in wrestling in the 80's and early 90's and being able to remember it when it happened clear as day.

You think you are old because you were already in the 3rd grade back then? I got my driver's permit that year.

I remember it being such a big deal when my Dad bought our first VHS player. I remember when Music CDs started being mass produced. I remember the first CD my Dad ever bought too (Dire Straights - Brothers in Arms) I remember the first computer we ever had: a Sinclair ZX81 and with that the first computer game we ever got was: I remember when it was such a big deal when Michael Jackson made a new music video.
