On ESPN, Trey Wingo and Mike Golic were discussing a sports story and Trey said it was like, and started saying the words to the Gilligan's Island Theme Song, and Golic joined in and Trey said, do you realize half the audience has no idea what we are talking about....and folks that's when you know you're old because you DO know what they are talking about and feel like and "old fogey" because you do!........

How about when you're watching the Academy Awards and have no idea who many of the nominees are!    

O when you're looking at the movie ads to choose one to see ..... and you don't know who many of the "stars" are!

@ECBG  LOL!  I always hated ironing, and when my then cat knocked it off of the board and broke it, that was it, no more iron for me.  I now use a steamer.

when you are in any store these days and you hear what is supposed to be music and you  don't know any of the artists playing on their PA system and you don't want to know because they are mostly screeching and wailing anyway

@CatsyCline

My grocery store is just the opposite, they play "old school" heavy metal which the younger crowd probably has absolutely no idea what the song or group is.....  I think the Store Manager who chose that music must be someone going through a mid-life crisis---LOL!!!

I knew I was old when a clerk at the grocery store asking for my phone number and I mentioned back in the day of not needing to use your area code with your phone number.  She said, "What"?  You actually did not need the area code at one time to make a call?  I said yes and we also had a time frame where buttons were not used to DIAL a telephone number.

How about when there were word exchanges instead of numbers. We were granite 4 (GE 4) The Elizabeth Taylor movie Butterfield 7, etc

you remember the time there was no zip code-

families shared 1 bathroom ( we still do)

one car families was the rule

you had to go to the movies to see a movie

there were a lot fewer channels on tv, it was free and higher quality
