I bowl with this old dude who I have made fun of how he dresses for someone his age. I saw him have an anxiety attack one night and have to leave the bowling lanes. Must be hell to be old. The guy sent me a friend request on facebook and I accepted. Never thought much about it. Yesterday he contacted me on chat and we talked a few minutes. Afterward I looked at his page for a minute. We graduated high school the same year and are the same age.:eek

We hired some old guy at work and after some conversation I found out he is 2 years older than me. I feel your pain.

I've felt the same, sorta. I'll look at someone's DOB when I'm onboarding them for work and I'll see 1980 as the year they were born and I instantly think "kid" in my head...then I realize that person is over 30...ugh.:yuk

I decided I was getting "older" one day when driving past the highschool as it dismissed for the day. I found myself checking out the mothers who were waiting for them to come out, rather than the girls. Ooooof! Some nice ones, too!

A few more years and the workforce will have its first individuals born after the millennium. :ninja

That awkward moment when a 10 year old has a better phone than you.

I hate those times when I see sportspeople the same age as me or younger. it's like damn I could have been a contender.

Could be worse though: My friend was in the class above Alex Oxlaide-Chamberlain. Imagine how he must feel :D

I went to the gym the other night and these kids had signed in with birth dates in 1997/1998... I felt really old, and then got to thinking how pretty soon (next couple of years or so) the 2000 babies will be in high school. It's mind-boggling still that people were even born in the 2000s.
