I saw a boy walking through Birmingham recently and thought he was the ghost of someone who’d died in about 1995. From the hair down to his trainers, it was pure Adam Rickitt.

I was born in the early 90s myself and genuinely can’t believe those fashions are back.

When I have to scroll back a little further every year to find my birth year when I sign up for a website.

I'm a secondary school teacher. I've now taught four kids whose parents I taught (one has already left!) I'm actually not that old.

Anyone never thought about aging when they were younger, but now somewhat dreads it?
I'm 33, but I never thought about getting older a few years ago. I just thought I'll deal with it when it comes, then BAM!! It's here and it's 8-10 years later and I'm wondering where that time went. In some ways it's a bit depressing as I know that health issues come with age, but also it's scary at how fast time flies.

Just ordered a few beers off deliveroo, the guy come and said “I just need to check you’re over 25”, looked at me and went “ohh yes” with such conviction. I beg your pardon! I was only getting ID’d a few months ago 😢 This is what acute stress does to you 👩🏼‍🦳

It's worse when they don't ask! Like on self service check outs when they wonder idly over and press 'do not challenge' 👵

I’m noticing that more. I’m 33 but have been ID’d forever, now I’m wondering what’s making me look so aged 🤣 obviously stress doesn’t help but I’m going to have to get back on the skincare.

  • the volume of the huffing and puffing noise I make when standing up has increased, plus the development of needing to make that noise when doing other seemingly low-effort tasks
  • watching Classic Eastenders on Drama. Where it's up to currently (1998) is when I was really into it and I can remember what homework assignments I was completing as I watched it originally (I was 14/15)
  • like others have said, having to scroll back further to reach my birth year when filling in online forms
  • this year I had to renew my driving licence for the second time, I can't believe I've been driving for two decades!

- People only barely older than me buying the farm with cancer of sorts! :oops:

- Kids and young adults saying "Sie" instead of" Du" to me. (German speakers will understand this. :ROFLMAO: )

- Time slipping away faster and faster. It was just summer yesterday, now it's 3 weeks before Christmas. WTH! 😫

I’m a primary teacher and seeing the children’s birth dates makes me feel extremely old! My current class were born in 2014/15 😱
Only today was I talking to them about Prince William and Kate’s wedding and I realised they were still years off even being born when it happened!
