OFFICIAL: signs you're getting old thread

[Harry Sax]

Bruh, same shyt happens to me. I'm 39. 5 years ago I signed up to do co-ed softball with some coworkers. All my coworkers were 25-31. Here I am at 33-34 trying to be the cool older coworker. I suck and we lost but after the game people started arguing about why we lost and people started calling each other slow. So I'm just sitting back smirking because even at 34 at the time I was faster than most people I knew personally. So they line up on the field after challenging each other to a quick 50 yard dash. I pull up to the line like "yeah I got y'all young whippa snappas"
So everyone gets geeked and is like we got a race now. We line and go...I pulled off slow and everyone is in front of me by 2-3 steps...I'm like let me hit the afterburners on these youngins...

I start jetting, and actually pulled ahead for 2-3 steps. With no warning my right hamstring went *pop*

And immediately made me fall. Took 2 other racers down with me. Tried to play it off like there a dip in the ground. I couldn't play off the limp I had afterwards. Coworkers still give me shyt about this to this day lol...

I don’t think that tops my story

I used to have sciatica real bad and it would randomly happen

So me n my boys are at the basketball courts, playing on the short rims we can dunk on…so my boy not only dunked on me, but my back went out at that exact moment

nikkas clowned me for a while after that

When you realize you around the same age now Danny Glover was when he first started saying this in the first Lethal Weapon movie.

I've seen plenty of them over the years. Most obvious one is more and more gray hairs showing up in my beard over the last few years. After a 3 to 5 mile run, my knees ache for days.

Hardly listening to any new school music (newest artists I'd buy music for are J Cole and Kendrick Lamar). Other than mentioned only new music I listen to is from artists I grew up on (Jay-Z, Nas, the Lox). Losing interest in video games (I was a hardcore gamer).

Being called "old head" whenever I play pickup with with the young boys. Only wanting to play half court when I would only run full court back in the day.

My idea of a good time is sitting around with my older brothers, high school friends, drinking beer and reminiscing about the good ol days and arguing about the NBA.

Wearing the cell phone holster on my side (the 20 something female at my job said it reminds her of her dad).

My idea if sleeping in late now is sleeping until 8:00 am (used to sleep until noon or 1 pm during college and high school days).

I be looking forward to cutting my yard and caring about how the lawn looks.

Going shopping at 7-8am (whenever they open)

Forcing yourself to listen to new music

Come on omen you can listen to the new apple playlist instead of Gang Starr for the millionth time

This is me
The only 2023 albums I listened to are Metro Boomin, Nas, and Young Thung.
Other than that I'll throw on some old school shyt.
It's too much music out there to catch up on new stuff

My idea of a vacation is going where nobody else is and I can chill. fukk a hot spot.

Those hot spots sound like legit hell to me now

 

[Bone Bender]

When you make that "Hrrrr" sound when you getting up from a crouch.

I knew it was becoming bad when interior decorating became interesting to me.


I would be online and shiit for hours looking for different ideas to decorate my crib, different area rugs couches, etc…


Gaming feels like a chore more than a hobby these days. And I grew up playing games…

Praying for light and happiness for people that have wronged you instead of wishing a mfer would.

Most of the time, you'll struggle with this
