I got my haircut on the weekend, the young chick cutting my hair was sort of chatty.

After a while she asks: "Do you have any children?" . . . me: "No"

Then she says: "Oh, because you look like my landlord, I thought he might have been your son"

So some guy who's her landlord, I'm old enough to possibly be his father.

How I felt:

Happened to me at a hospital. The nurse always ask name and birthday. "Oh that's cool my dad was born in the same year".

when you read all of the labels of the products in your house.

As I buy new shit, I find myself being interested in what’s on the label.

Modern problems need modern solutions. I use the zoom on my phone camera to read that small shit.

That's exactly how i read all the tiny serial numbers on cisco equipment like SFPs and shit. Too small to read it otherwise. Phone zoom is king.

I have to wear reading glasses now, I will literally double them up on my face to read tiny print on labels.

If that doesn't work I have these in my workshop (usually used when painting minis for tabletop gaming)

Today I had to change off dark theme because I was too fucking blind to read the white text, it was blurring together too much (while reading the damn DeSantis speech that was 18 pages long)

You know you're getting old when you remember a time (the 90s) when the most evil of government conspiracies was to not tell the population about the existence of UFOs and aliens, and even the nuttiest of tin-foil-hat wearers would think you were crazy if you told them half the shit the governments of the West have planned for us in this day and age.

Welp, coming up on my 35th birthday and my family’s shitty heart genetics have finally hit me as well. Older brother told me “welcome to the club” and “enjoy the lifetime cardiologist visits from here on out.” Fuck.

Realizing I am older than some of the bands now popping up on the classic rock station drove it home for me. And not the bands themselves, but the members.
