You are at a braai and your wife mentions that you matriculated in 1988 and then the young lady next to you says, "wow I wasn't born yet" :p

You know you are old when you look at the newspaper and see specials on meat from Spar and you think to yourself "Wow. That is a really good deal"

I was in Sub B :p

You know you're getting old when someone tells you you're exactly like your father...and you and your father never really saw eye to eye..

You know you're old when someone starts a thread and mentions his matric year and yours is before that year ...

Yup, also did matric in '88, and to think that was just 25 years ago.........

I know I'm getting old when I realise that my son is finishing school next year.....so no grandpa jokes.... soon it will be reality

You know you're old when you go into a club and you ask your friends, "Is it me or is the music extremely loud in here?"

Oh... My... God..! I don't know how to tell you this but that's a good day for moments of clarity about your age.
Knees and back not working... Check. Grey hair where you never even had hair... Check. Tweaks taking as long as breaks used to to heal... Check. Supermarket deals... Check. Songs on the radio where you've had the vinyl for twenty five years or longer... Check. Being called "oom" by folk in their twenties... Check. Truly, truly appreciating the term MILF... Check.
It's downhill from here but I feel your pain.

Wife and I went to a club the other day (a friend of mine is the owner and it was his birthday so he invited us). The place has a small braai area at the back. I spent 90% of the time there because I felt like my eardrums would explode inside :D

You know you're old when you go into Spar on pensioners day and the teller asks you if you are a pensioner :(
