It’s daytime. Or nighttime. Or evening or morning. Or you don’t know what time of day it is but you’re conscious. Any of these situations indicates aging is happening.
You measure time on the scale of emergency to emergency.
How little of a fuck you give for modern times and just live in the past.
Asking what the signs of getting older are?? 🙂
Your first gray pube.
What age?
For me sometime soon after 40.
Vision. It gets hard to read in low light, driving at night is tough, you can’t quite figure out how close or far to hold a book or phone.
Alcohol. You just don’t shake it off like you did when you were younger. Now you really think about whether that next drink will be worth the shitty sleep.
Money. You talk about property taxes and 401k contributions more often than you ever thought you would.
Patience. You’re more patient with kids and your parents, and way less patient with everything else.
Memory and visual attention when you get closer to 60. You can’t remember all 10 digits of a new phone number with an unfamiliar area code; often one of the 4 last numbers will end up transposed with a neighbor. Visual attention: looking on your garage shelves or cupboards for an item and not seeing it even though it’s in plain sight.
Is it not normal? This describes me perfectly and I’m not even 30 yet. (Well in a few months I won’t be able to say that anymore, but still)

and my own phone number, nothing else.This is my ringtone.
You start correcting people when they say “your” instead of “you’re” :-)
Quite the opposite.
The older you get the less clever it feels to point out the common mistakes of others
Agreed. Matter of fact, I usually direct the offending party to one of two, if not both, sites.

Always a good time.
I agree actually, I was only kidding because of the subject of the post.
It’s replaced with a desire to help people be better.

My knees. I am past 30, and my knees somehow don’t want to bend anymore.
On the other hand the older I get, the smarter I get about life. Do some physical activity on a regular basis, keep some long term goals in mind, don’t let your emotional state depend on external factors.
Find balance in your life and know your limits and you will be all right.
School dreams are very rare now, and when I have them the “cast” is all people from various adult jobs. I never knew my actual school mates as adults, so I guess my brain just can’t fill it in. If I was actually transported back to high school and saw them again it would probably feel like being surrounded by babies, so makes sense that “central casting” sends in adult stand-ins.
I’m always an adult too. What’s weird is I remember being a child. I remember my body being clumsy and awkward, I remember being confused by adult concepts, I remember being small. It never comes out in childhood dreams, I’m always my present age.
I have learned the difference between “your” and “you’re”.
For me, it’s correcting people that.
I guess I’m still growing as a person
My 60th birthday.
People at a store ask if I want the senior discount…hurumph rude! LOL
Doing an oil change, rotor and brake pad change in same day, means my back and legs are sore for a few days after
I didn’t get a harumph from that guy!
You get free dlc every year, that you can’t uninstall, for example: Cannot move neck after sleeping in a slightly wrong position. Random foot pain. Extra hangover. Blurry vision in the distance.
When I get up after sitting on the ground for a while my knees are stiff.
Get off my lawn.
When it gets “weird” wanting to do the young people stuff.
