re: Random things that make you realize you’re getting old

At one time I would bail out the side of my pickup truck bed like a paratrooper to the ground. In no way do I do that now. I am now doing the toe tap thing looking for the bumper and then same toe tap looking for the ground always maintaining three touch-points to the truck! Can’t imagine the injuries I would sustain now if I tried my younger self method of just jumping from the side of the truck. Getting old is a system of asking yourself …should I do this? Most times the answer is no but my brain still has to be convinced that what I am attempting is probably not wise.

The F-150 tailgate step I always called an old man step and made fun of, I use it now.
ETA: I jumped out of my bass boat (on the trailer) the other day and thought I blew out both of my knee caps.

Waking up sore in some body part for no fricking reason.
Cheater reading glasses everywhere; in the house, truck, boat, suitcase…
Suddenly being the guy in the group with sage advice that actually seems like it’s not complete bullshite.

Going to bed perfectly fine. Waking up feeling like I got my arse kicked in a MMA fight. Seriously, how do you get fricked up while sleeping?

If I don't wake up to go to the bathroom at least once at night, I think something's wrong.

A few weeks ago I was at a friend's house. He was trying to read some instructions for his son. He put a pair of cheater reading glasses on and still couldn't see it that well, we were joking and said "put your other pair over those". He did so just joking around and he was like "wait" he started reading for a second and then says "this actually works!"..

When sleeping a full eight hours without having to get up to take a leak at some point is a real accomplishment.

At least a couple of times recently, I’ve thought (but not said): “If I’m the top dog expert in this group, we might be in serious f**king trouble.”

It used to be when I watched college football, now when I the NFL it is starting to get that way.
Watching NFL games and seeing the kids of former players whose entire careers I watched are now contributing on NFL rosters. When Tom Brady retires will be another NFL end of an era event .
Seeing the OT go crazy over some gymnast who looks like she could be my daughter.
All porn stars have tats. Is that really a marketable thing that turns guys on?
Getting a burger at a non-chain restaurant means you’re paying $15-$25 for a burger.
A steakhouse now charges $50-$75 for a ribeye.
Elevator music now has words - and it still sucks.
Rap music all sounds the same.
Country music no longer sounds the same.
Another round of lingo popular among moronic youth has started:
~ “I mean…”(which is apparently the same usage of starting sentences with “like” - popular during the valley girl era.)
~“Clapback” (unknown cultural phenomenon, but white moms are currently in the process of making it uncool)
I haven’t seen any in-person evidence of racism among anyone of any skin color over the past 2 decades.
I can’t stop seeing someone claiming evidence of racism on media outlets.
There are more than 2 genders.
All the hot actresses of my youth are beyond the help of beauty products now - and some of them are dead.
My wife is hotter than all of my childhood crushes.
I would frick a Supreme Court Justice.
