I went to the doctor's office and the receptionist said, "hey honey". I signed in and sat down and a few minutes later a guy older than I came in and she said, "hey sweetie".
Then a kid about 25 came in and she said, " good morning, please sign in".
It hit me at that moment that I was considered to be a harmless old coot.

When you start going to your friend's kids college graduations, the getting up to pee thing, not caring that your favorite band is playing on a weeknight 2 hours away. These are just a few.

This. Also, falling asleep while watching tv or a movie. I never used to do that, now it happens all the time.

When my girlfriend calls me dad, even if it's only a joke.

Dude .... I just last night re-jarred four gallons, two of rye and two of sour mash. Poured a quart or two or three over some fresh picked black bullices/muscadines/suppernogs ... whatever you wanna call them.
I always blue flame test mine too.

Sorry I wasn't here sooner. I was depressed about the game. Towles gave away the Florida game and the receivers were shite last night. Oh, well, at least I still have science. Stonedhog is right, sort of. Past, present and future are just constructs we invented to help us process the concept of time. To paraphrase Carl Sagan, all that ever was still is and always will be.
In regards to life, everything that's still living is exactly the same age, 3.8 billion years old, approximately. All that is living is also older that that which has died. Our tree of life, of which every cell is a part, has persisted for that long. Living things can die but life cannot be created. At least not here on earth*. It has persisted uninterrupted since it first originated billions of years ago.
*Well, unless humans recreate biological life or A.I.

Met a college girl at the bar I really wanted to have sex with, and decided the sex wasn't worth her horrible topics of conversation. I later changed my mind, but nobody's perfect.

I guess I'm lucky in some ways. I really didn't get serious about going to college until I was around 32. I'm 35 now with only a couple semesters left until I graduate. It always amuses me when I tell these kids I'm 35. Most don't believe me unless I show them my ID because they are convinced I'm around 24. Physically I feel pretty young and haven't really lost any energy. The part that does suck though is talking to someone and realizing in some cases they were a year or two old when I graduated highschool. I really enjoy going to school, but I realize that I missed out on a lot of great opportunities by not going earlier in life.

For women it's all the things that have been mentioned - hangovers that last for days, body aches from what used to be normal activity, getting up to pee all the time, preferring to stay home over going out, etc. - and so much more.
-Menopause - enough said.
-Having to go to the salon every four weeks because I'm not ready to look like a grandma.
-Pedicures are like minor surgery - why the frick does the skin on your heels and your toenails get thicker and dryer and rougher as you age?
-GRAVITY - I miss perky boobs and I hate the ugly and uncomfortable bras I have to wear now.
-A true dearth of fashion options - I don't want to dress like a 16 year old nor a 60 year old. Can no one make a pair of jeans that fall somewhere in between ones with an inseam so short your arse cracks waves at everyone and ones with a pleated front that come all the way up under your boobs??
-I used to love to wear high heels. frick those torture devices. I'll hurt for days after wearing high heels to a wedding when I used to could wear them daily without missing a beat. Plus, I'm afraid I'll fall when I wear them.
-I'm writing recs for girls for sorority rush that I visited in the hospital when they were born.
Excuse me while I go look for my missing reading glasses.

Indeed it does.
I take meds daily. I creak, pop and groan every morning. I love naps more than ever, and occasionally chase punks out of my yard.

Sleeping on a couch or in the floor are pretty much out of the question. Sleeping on the beach or camping without an air mattress means I can barely walk the next day.
Young people can just throw themselves around any old way. I remember skiing in my early 20s, tumbling down the sides o mountains in bigtime wipeouts, and barely noticing anything. Today, that would probably mean 2 surgeries and a year of PT.
Your body just isn't as flexible or resilient. I'm dreading my 40s...

When you remember that color tv was once a luxury.
When you see pics of celebs you once thought were old, and now that same picture they look so young

Two things:
1. First time you sit on your nads.
2. When your kid says Dad when I grow up you gonna be dead.
