* Kids calling me "Sir" * Teenage girls calling me "Sir" and using the formal "You" * Some of my friends giving me the blank stare when I make references to A-Team, Kight Rider etc. * Same friends not knowing 80s/early 90s music (probably because some of them were born after 1986) * My little cousin being graduated, working and engaged. * The fact I totally remember sporting events now referred to as "classic moments" * I have vague memories of a certain Ayrton Senna debuting in F1 * ...speaking of Senna... I can't fathom it'll be FIFTEEN YEARS! FIFTEEN F'N YEARS

A new one I just thought of.When I wrote a story for Fanfiction.net and a reviewer said "I wasn't even around to watch Jem," in reference to a joke in the story, which was, interestingly enough, their favorite joke.

1990? You think you are old because you were already in the 3rd grade back then? I got my driver's permit that year. I was..um...born...that year. Yeah, well.. so was I! In fact, I was born the month after you were!

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. 1990? You think you are old because you were already in the 3rd grade back then? I got my driver's permit that year. It made me *feel* old. We can be buddies who feel old together.

Old? When I'm at my local karaoke bar and I do a song from a top 80's rocker band like Van Halen or Def Lepperd and some young (age 18 to 24 per say) guy/girl asks me later who on Earth did I just sing a song from I feel old. I grew up with 80's hair bands practically being the soundtrack of our lives, what is usual common place. I makes me realize I truly am in the late 2000's.
[edit] I also want to say I feel much older when I'm dancing because I can't (or don't have the desire) keep up with it lenght of time-wise or I can't move as smoothly as I did say 10 years ago. When I was younger I could go to some danceclub and move around the whole night through to each and every song played. And I'd still have left over energy after the club is over with. Now I dance to 3 or 4 songs through and then sit down for the next 2 songs or when ever another song I like is playing. End of the night I'm dead tired these days.

It sounds stupid, but watching the early seasons of Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
A couple of months ago I was watching an episode and they were talking about studying Othello. Then it hit me, I realised I was actually older than the age those kids are meant to be.
It was just weird cos I remember seeing it for the first time when I was 9, and spending every Thursday watching the new episodes.

You might know that in French, there is a singular version and a plural version of "you," the singular version is "tu" and the plural is "vous." And "vous" is also used as a pronoun of politeness (kind of like the old-fashioned "thou" in English). So when people, especially kids, tell me "vous," it always makes me realize I did age. The fact that I grew a goatee doesn't help (but I look damn good with it so I'm not shaving it).

My brother did something kind of dunderheaded in relation to this topic. It was a few years ago, and the family was at my uncle's house on Christmas Eve. One of my cousins has a little boy (about three years old at the time), and my brother was looking at some of his toys. He looked at one of the kid's coloring books and saw the characters looking up info in the Internet. He then yells out "That's it, we are all officially OLD!"
He's about 22 years old, saying this in a room full of people that are at least over 45, and some over 70. I just looked at him and said, "That wasn't very smart."

Having already graduated college, watching college sports now makes me feel old. Especially when some star athlete is a true freshman. In the same vien Lebron James makes me feel old and useless

i sometimes feel like a less attractive, gay male version of samantha from sex and the city, i have had numerous drunken one night stands in the past but i have never been in a relationship, the scary thing is the older i get the less i actually care about that, i feel way too young to be so bitter and cynical, plus i hate children which makes me feel old

Oh, I thought of another one!
My anime fandom being a legal issue.
EDIT - And I've been asked to buy alchohol for high school students before, even though I've only been legally allowed to drink alchohol for just under three years.
