While age is just a number, and plenty of us feel much younger than we actually are, there comes a time in everyone's lives when they start to feel old, and usually it’s something someone does or says that will trigger that.
Well, a bunch of folks are sharing with Buzzfeed the moment they officially felt old, and some of them are pretty hilarious, and totally relatable.
They include:
·"When I got carded at the grocery store and the clerk looked at my birthdate and declared, 'You were born the same year as my mom!'"
·"When I was explaining to a high schooler how to dial a code and then the pound sign, and she asked me, 'Is that...like...the hashtag?'"
·"I was working retail with some teenagers who were talking about Facebook, and one of them stopped mid sentence and asked me, 'Wait, do you know what social media is? Do people your age use that?' I'm 30."
·"I had to teach a 12-year-old how to use a landline phone, and when she was done, she handed me the phone, saying she didn't see the hang-up button."
·"The kids at the camp I worked at asked me what a cassette was, then were disappointed it couldn't play music by itself."
·"I'm nine years older than my fiancé, so naturally my girlfriends started calling me 'Mrs. Robinson.' He didn't even understand the reference."
