Friend of mine just turned 30. He posted a picture of himself at dinner with his g/f with the caption "Celebrating the big 3-0. I'm officially old."

Does that bug anyone else, or am I just overly sensitive? I'm 31. I don't see that as old. I don't even see 51 as old. Yeah, I know it was said as "tongue in cheek", but it's still irritating.

My grandmother just passed away at 95. At the end of her life she was completely immobile and bedridden because she broke her hip and the doctors basically said that there is nothing that they could do because of her age. Watching my father care for her was heartbreaking. THAT'S old. When other people act like 30 or 40 is old it just pisses me off because I know what old is.

Sorry for the rant.

TL;DR- young people annoy me

Do you really think your friend believes he is old? It was just a caption.

Some people want to get old, and so they do, in the head.

I refuse to accept that personally. They can have it. I'm not dead.

Sometimes, and sometimes not, but some get old when they get 25, and love it like its a badge of honor or something.

AARP you have to be 50



Senior Citizen Discounts start at 55-62 at many places including hotels



Of course meth users always look old.

I think it's just something people say to laugh about and make them feel better about not being a teenager anymore. My gf is 23 and she always talks about how she's old. It is kind of irritating.

I turn 50 this year, and I refer to myself as an old man to most people younger than me. I feel that way most days too.

I regularly say "I'm getting too old for this" at 30 just to get a rise out of older people
