So, what are those defining moments in life when you know you're getting on a bit?
I'm really not looking forward to when I start calling family members by every other family member/pets name before reaching the correct one...this seems to happen at some point after becoming a mother

Waking up and feeling rancid and not being able to move and knowing that when you'd drunk the same ammount a few years ago, you'd be fine the next day.

Mine's always been crap, haha, I've been wearing glasses since before i had hair!
I think the moment when someone lets you get on the bus first must suck!

The moment you forgot where you put your walking stick 15 minutes ago.

I started feeling old when I had grey hairs at 11...I still have them, very strange.
Basically I feel like an old man everyday, can't identify with the youth of today

When I'll start waiting for the reaper, that is ... when I'll become aware that his visit is near.
On the other hand, when I look at younger people, like schoolkids, I feel I'm still in the same category, but when I was that age, people of my present age were in no way in the same category. So "by that rationale" I'm considered old by the social group I identify with, which makes me de facto old even now, at 28.
But I believe in general people become old the moment they lose their joy in life. Or when you seriously start asking yourself: "Am I old?"
