I always think I am so young and hip and with it.
I'm not.
Here is the proof that I am getting old.
TURN DOWN THE MUSIC!!! When did music get to loud? When did I stop turning it up as loud as I could make it? When did it get annoying and just turn into noise? This to me is just about the worst proof of getting old. I have always loved music, music made me feel young and cool. Not anymore. Now I just want you to turn that crap down.
What is wrong with the youth today? Have you seen the way the dress? Or the way the talk? Have you seen the total lack of responsibility and character? The complete loss of manners? Is there no respect left at all? Why is there such a prevailing attitude of entitlement?
When kids sit in the my chair at work and they say I want my hair cut like so and so.
I. Have. No. CLUE. who they are talking about. When I respond with someone I think has the same cut. They have no clue who I'm talking about.
The kids in my chair think I'm old. They ask me if I am about 36 or so.
Kids loitering around stores or theaters or heaven forbid my salon make me no end of crazy. Stop dinking around blocking my door. We have paying customers trying to get in that door. Get out of the way and go play on your skateboards elsewhere.
I yell at stupid teenage drivers. Aren't I supposed to be a stupid teenage driver? I have yelled SLOW DOWN more times than I care to admit.
High school students are looking younger and smaller everyday. I'll have a kid sit in my chair and no joke I'll ask, so are you starting the junior high? No, I'm a senior. Holy crud are you kidding me?
I can't sleep on the floor anymore and jump right up after. I creak and groan and pay for it later. I like my bed. If I don't sleep in my bed my back hurts. Don't old granny's have that problem?
I don't get the music today. I prefer the old good stuff. Like something retro, from the 80's.
When did the 80's become retro?
Jeez, I'm really feeling old. I think that's all for now.

I am right there with ya! We played a "Guess that Celebrity" (or something like that) with the YW and I had no idea of the names these girls were spouting off! Who the? What the? And seriously Hollister, turn down the music! I have never even been inside, but I can hear the music down the mall! Don't worry, you are not alone ya old lady! BTW-I had no idea you did hair, sign me up! I am in desperate need of a do!
Ha! This is a great post -- mostly because I feel the EXACT same way! I swear, where did the time go and we got so old so suddenly? I swear it was like yesterday when we were ditching choir in high school...
This rings all too familiar. I especially feel old when I see "kids" wearing florescent leggings and giant earrings. That was so fifth grade.
I know. The other day one of my friends and I were talking about when we turn 40....which isn't that far off. It is crazy how time goes by.
I hear you (although I've always hated loud music . . . )
