The optician tells you that your "a year or so off needing bifocals" (applies to me)

Had the offer for trimmed eyebrows. There's a frequent need to trim the forest out of the ears also.

Taking glasses off to read thing close up now. Bit more of a struggle with contacts though I asked for reading glasses for that, though don't really use them.

Wait until the term "incipient cataracts" gets mentioned.

When you're working with people who reminisce about being born the year the 1st Star Wars movie came out.

No, the [b]1st[/b] one, not the [i]4th[/i].

No, the 1st one, not the 4th.

4th is the first to me. No "Episode IV" when I saw it at the cinema ๐Ÿ˜€ (though admitted I don't really remember much of it as I was 4)

That was my point ๐Ÿ™‚ I was born '77 and apparently 'saw' Episode iV when I was 6 months old. Some of our apprentices were born '98/'99. Conversations about the upcoming film have interestingly different perspectives.

18 & 20 year olds no longer look attractive, you think of them more as a headache then anything else.

The 30/40 year woman old on TV, or street though, looks mighty fine to look at.

I thought it was well established that you're only getting old when your farts start smelling like your Dad's?

The Dr is younger than you.

A child you teach calls you 'peak'. You assume it's an adjective but not sure if you should be cross or complimented.
