You know you're getting old when....

...you turn on the Oldies station and hear them playing Hall & Oates "Maneater". THE 1980's ARE NOT OLDIES, PEOPLE!!

rotfl!

I hear ya!!! I definitely hear ya ;)

Sadly, I don't. I need to turn up my hearing aid! ;-)

Around here, they're playing songs that came out 4-5 years ago on classic rock stations. That's enough to make anyone feel inappropriately old.

Young people -- BAH! You want to ignore them, but watch out, boy, they'll chew you uh-up!

See, the problem is, we think our contemporaries are Humph Lyttelton, Clive Anderson, John Inman, Don Adams, George Carlin ...

Gah! You scared me! I thought for a moment that Clive Anderson had died, since all the other gentlemen on that list have sadly left us.

Wikipedia's great for dispelling such possibilities, though (unless I really am missing something).

Your reaction's identical to the one I had when I first started hearing Queen on oldies stations, Bro.

In the mid-80s.

I was all, WAITAMINUTEHERETHISISWRONG!

My shock and horror moment

When the rock station I was listening to -- Led Zepplin had just played -- announced that their big concert prize was "family tickets to Sesame Street Live!"!!!!!!
