Signs you're getting old

#1 - Buying a tablet (Google Nexus7) and after much trawling of the web not being able to find one single game you think is worth downloading for it, then searching the app store for decent looking crossword puzzles and interesting looking local weather apps.

Can I take it that as 8 people have looked at this post so far but nobody has replied that another sign of getting old is not understanding w.t.f. I'm talking about? :lol:

How about when most of the hifi you're still using is listed in "Vintage Audio" on eBay? :lol:

Perhaps we just don't want to join in!! Actually getting old is quite enough to cope with or.......... how come they let children get pregnant these days and by other babies?

For me it's the fact that I find almost everything my three grown up step-daughters do annoying! What they think is cool, what they think is funny, what they continually witter about on their bloody phones and find so amusing, what they think passes for music and, of course, the fact that their I-phones would need to be surgically removed from their grip! (I think humans will evolve to have just one useable arm/hand as the other is simply to mount their phone on), all of it pisses me off big time. :twisted:
