I still feel addressed when there's something about "young people". At 34.

    48 here. Had a minor heart attack earlier this year, so sometimes I'm starting to feel old.

    What is a “minor” heart attack?

    You're one year older than me and we're the two oldest people here so far, which makes me feel super old.

    I hope the minor heart attack is the only one you ever have to suffer through.

    Fun thing about being this old: I thought I was turning 48 until my wife told me I was turning 47 a few days before my birthday.

    This meme is so old that I was 27 when I first read it.

    Me with my 30+ year-old ass: Oh, this meme is about people in their 20s. This is about me!

    I still remember the day I grew old. After forgetting my change at a self checkout machine, an younger attendant ran after me and refered to me as 'sir'. After that day, I was no longer young. I was 29.

    I realised I had become an adult when some woman told her kid "that mister" would tell him off if he didn't behave, and gestured in my direction. I looked behind me. There was nobody there.

    I had become The Mister. The stranger based punishment of exasperated mothers everywhere. Fear me, little children, and despair.

    I remember the day as well. I walked all through the store grabbing everything I needed and while waiting in the checkout I realized I forgot the milk. I laughed and said "Oh wow" then the guy behind me looked at me and I shrugged and said "I forgot the milk!" and left the line I'd been standing in for a few minutes to get the milk.

    My age at the time didn't matter because it was on that day, I became old. Talking to strangers in the grocery store, forgetting to get the milk, and laughing about it? Old.

    be like me. Can't become old if you identify as an immortal god to whom age has no meaning.

    doesn't stop my back from hurting through.

    I never understood why this particular meme needed to be told from within the SpongeBob universe

    The first time I can remember feeling old was when I was walking home behind a couple of kids and one said to the other in a cautionary tone that there was a "big ol' guy" (or words to that effect) behind them. I guess I seemed menacing in some way? I was in my early twenties, which means those kids are older now than I was then.
