15 Hilarious Accounts of the Moment People Realized They Were Old

Aging is inevitable, folks. I still remember the first time I heard one of my joints creaking. Definitely freaked me out!

Time comes for all of us, and these 15 people’s experience make me feel the slightest bit better.

#1. I am not ‘adult’ like that.

When I realized that I have clear memories of moments I spent with my parents when they were younger than I am now. I remember how “adult” I perceived them and I don’t feel like I am “adult” like that at all.

#2. Coupons in the mail.

When I started to get excited about coupons I got in the mail..

#3. A new vacuum.

When I got really excited about buying a new vacuum. In my defense….that vacuum is fucking dope!

#4. “Old” Disney shows.

When the kid I was tutoring referred to Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverly Place, etc., as “old Disney shows”

#5. They stopped asking for ID.

When they stop asking for ID when you buy beer.

#6. 10 years younger.

When I realized, that athletes in the NFL are 10 years younger than me. Plus they are already making millions…

#7. Every morning after.

Every morning after drinking.

#8. I’m a ma’am now.

That first time that first teenager called me “Ma’am” respectfully.

I’m a Ma’am now. I’m not a Miss anymore. sighs

#9. The tables have turned.

You know how you might see an older person and not remember them and they say, “you don’t remember me? I remember you when you were this small”?

Well I realized I was old when the tables turned and I ended up being the older one remembering this now grown up as a kid.

#10. I could not stop laughing.

i found out about a rapper named lil windex and i could not stop laughing

#11. I don’t mind.

I can’t name any actor on a recent show and I don’t know who most people are on TV or in music. I’m old,out of the loop but I don’t mind. The loop isn’t relevant to my interests anymore.

#12. Not 10 years ago.

1990 is NOT 10 years ago anymore.

#13. Grunting.

Grunting when picking up something. And the music is “just not as cool as before”.

#14. I just coughed.

Fucked around and coughed while on the toilet, somehow hurt my back and sprained my knee

#15. Classic rock.

when i heard Metallica on the classic rock station, also coming to the realization i have tattoos older than some of my co-workers

Getting old may be hell, but it does certainly beat the alternative!

Meet the Man Who’s Been Living on a Cruise Ship for 13 Years, aka “The Captain”

He has taken his lunch and dinner every day at the same corner table now for thirteen years. Slim and distinguished, the passenger is lovingly known by the Seven Seas Navigator crew as “The Captain.”

Morton Jablin is 94 years old, sharp, and quite elegant-looking. So, why has he chosen to spend the last 13-years on a boat?

Jablin was born and raised in Brooklyn before he went abroad with the U.S. Navy Office of Naval Intelligence in WWII. After he returned to the States in 1946, he worked as a pharmacist, married his wife Charlotte and raised two children. He eventually started a successful lace-making business.

Throughout their marriage, Jablin and Charlotte traveled all over the world on various cruise lines. When Charlotte passed 13 years ago, Jablin decided to make his globetrotting full time and settled on the Navigator as his new home.

Living on the ship has allowed Jablin to keep a simple routine – one that ensures he knows where everything is, which is particularly important because he is steadily losing his eyesight and is now 90% blind. Other than the occasional doctor appointment, he no longer participates in shore excursions. “Charlotte and I had already been everywhere.”

His corner table in the Compass Rose Dining Room is permanently reserved for his daily lunches and dinners and is set for him exactly the same way for every meal.

His suite has been customized to meet his needs, and he exercises daily by walking on a deck that is usually empty. Casinos aren’t his thing, but he enjoys the onboard musical performances.

Family visits him when the ship docks in Miami, and he can always call them on his cell phone. Although other passengers will sometimes start conversation, Jablin really considers the crew as his friends and family.

Jablin summed up his life at sea this way. “I couldn’t achieve this lifestyle anywhere else. If I need a nurse or doctor, someone is in my cabin within five minutes. No matter what the time of day, if I need something, someone is here in 10-15 minutes. If I weren’t on this ship, I would have to have someone living with me.”

“Where else could I feel this secure and safe? Life on board couldn’t be better,” he said.

He kind of has a point, don’t you think?

15 Tweets That’ll Make You Feel Really, REALLY Old

I can’t deny it any longer: I’m getting OLD. My bones have started to make random noises when I move (especially in the morning), and I find myself constantly thinking, “That was so much better when I was a kid,” every time I check out the movies, shows, and music that my nieces and nephews are into.

These tweets aren’t helping matters much – I have a feeling they’re gonna affect you the same way they affected me: they’ll make you feel ANCIENT.
