You know you're getting old when ...

Caught up with a mate from Uni on Saturday night to go to the Rugby League. We headed back to his hotel lounge to have BYO drinks and snacks (cheap) and a chat. We met a couple of very dressed up young ladies in the lift who were going to be very cold as they painted the town red. It was at that point I realised I couldn't remember the last time I dressed up to go out or if I even owned any going out clothes.
 
Not really any need when the scantily clad young ladies meet you at the hotel hey @slowmick? ;):p
I used to work with a bunch of very smooth older dudes early on in my career. When we'd be away on work trips they'd always wind up talking to the young ladies in the bar or the bar staff. One of their favourite lines was "you seem like a lovely young lady. Any chance you can introduce me to you mum."
 
Presbyopia in one eye more than the other, feels like you're constantly drunk.

Corrective glasses are 2 weeks away.
Had to google that.

Ugh, that's me. Been noticing my eyes are struggling with up close work or in low light.

Looks like my 10 year unchanged prescription is about to change 🙄

Ykygow you have to ask your wife to bring your glasses so you can make out the tiny boxes in the cricket score book

Then when you put them on you can't make out the umpires as they are just a blur. And you can't swap as it takes a while for your eyes to refocus when taking glasses on and off.

Was rather jealous of the other team having an a3 sized score book when ours was a4.

Old age is just a bag of dicks waiting to happen for most. My eyes are locked on long sight, trying to read a phone or book and look at something else without bifocals simultaneously is impossible. It takes a while to teach yourself to look through the right part of the glasses
 
Is winding down all the windows on a hot day to let the air inside the car get back to ambient temperature before turning on the air conditioning an old person thing? It seems to be very out of fashion but I have an old car and try not to strain it on hot days. People just seems to get in an go.
