[officerripley]

When I noticed I should no longer be driving. (Almost got Huzz's SIL and I killed.)

Not according to Government parameters

I'm fortunate no-one has ever suggested that I might need a seniors discount for anything, in fact I often forget to ask for one.. altho' tbh on the odd occasion I have , no-one has questioned it much to my chagrin..lol.. but I'm not sure if that's because I look my age or it's because people are afraid now of being sued for offending...

When 50 year old people call you sir!

Well, at least they're polite...

The answer is...

I have always been conscious of my age, no matter what it was, or in this case, what it is. Like the rest of you, I'm not getting any younger. So be it, and so there. I'm just happy to still be kickin', and believe me, I am.

I haven't noticed my age .. still feel young!

 

[hollydolly]

I was in my 50's before people stopped calling me a'girl'' and instead addressed me as the lady ...I knew then I was getting older...

EG... I mother might say to their child... ''say thank you to the lady''... where before people would say ''hand that item to the girl''

Probably when a good looking chap offers you his seat on the train and you realise it's not because he fancies you

Yesterday, when I was trying to crawl out from under a tractor that I was working on.

When you are invited through the door first, or, when the door is held open for you. At my age I can cough, fart, sneeze and pee at the same time. But the real litmus test of old age is when the candles cost more than the cake.

I've always been aware of the age thing because when I was 22 years old some college kid stopped me one evening to asked for directions and called me M'am. WTF!!! M'am? At 22?

So I always do my best to look my best because the alternative makes me unhappy and it must work because no one has mentioned senior discounts to me yet.

The last 2 days have been frigid weather. Parts of my body began to ache. It did let me know where else the arthritis is hiding.

 

[catscan]

I knew I was old when a nice young man offered to carry my shopping bags for me ...
Except I was only in my 40's at the time ... and I would have taken the cutie home with me except, sadly, Mr Catscan might have objected.

I think that people in general, look younger these days .. at least, to me they do.
More than appearance, having a youthful attitude makes a difference.

 

[bowmore]

When CBS Sunday runs the weekly obits and most of the people are younger than us.

I felt pretty old when I toppled into a snow drift today while trying to clean the snow off my car. On the other hand, I've received a Jury Summons notice and according to it I'm three years too young to get out of it.

there's no question about that IMO Pinks...My own daughter who will be 48 in a couple of months.is constantly being mistaken for being in her early 30's...

I often see people in photos from when I was young..who were then in their 40's or 50's... and they look like people do today in their 70's 80's...

When I had my knee surgery. It took me a long time to recover. Normally, I recover from things fast, but not any more. I do see a lot of young guys who are a lot fatter than I am, and I am thankful I have kept most of my youthful figure. Not all, but most. Most of the loss is muscle which is hard to put back on as we age. But, at least I don’t need XXL pants.

 

[LoveTulips]

Actually never so far. I'm healthy and I was overjoyed when I got into my late sixties and could retire. I was also overjoyed, hubby and I actually, when we could get senior discounts everywhere. Money is tight.

I never knew that and I have been a senior for quite some time.

 

[dilettante]

I can only think of one time I got a discount. Went to a small town local grocery store during pandemic days, mid-morning to limit exposure. Turned out that seniors get 10% off on Wednesdays.

But it really hit me before that at the start of the lockdowns. Ambulance ride to the hospital, scary diagnoses for completely different things, went home with oxygen and 9 prescriptions a week later. That week in bed left me weak for far too long. At least I got rid of the oxygen fairly quickly.

When have you noticed your age?

The first couple hours after I get up in the morning.
