You know you're old when.....
Red Squirrel:
Makes me feel old when I realize some of the technologies I grew up with like VHS and CRTs are basically considered vintage now.
Another thing that makes me feel old is when I bring up an old internet meme "All your base are belong to us" and realize that the meme is like 20 years old. The word meme was not even a thing back then.
Circlotron:
When grandkids see your CD collection the same way you saw your own grandparents 78's collection. :-[

Coles in Australia have "Throwback Thursday" on the instore radio and I hear Carl Douglas' Kung Fu Fighting and Pussycats' Misssissippi. And I am hoping Rodriguez comes up.
But I really feel old when yet another old favourite is mangled in the name of advertising. I can forgive Microsoft for Start Me Up, but not forgiving Coles for ruining Status Quo's Deeper and Down. I really wanted to cut and paste the pointing finger signs they had. Just to make sure the middle finger was the pointing one. I just console myself with the thought the band probably made a bucket of money for their retirement years.

Bah! Humbug!
When I was born, Benito Mussolini was alive.
I was 21 when Herbert Hoover died.
