Here is an age scale most people find useful: The Camper Scale
1. Naked in the wilderness, you not only thrive, but gain weight and muscle mass! (You are a teenager.)
2. Your car is all the shelter you need. (Late teens, early twenties.)
3. Packing your car for a camping trip is almost as time consuming and annoying as getting the kids ready to go. (Mid to late twenties.)
4. You own a tent and a box filled with camping gear, but seldom find the time to use them. (Thirties.)
5. Going to an isolated cabin somewhere, hopefully with a fireplace and a hot tub, is your idea of roughing it. (Forties.)
6. You own an RV that has more amenities than your first apartment. (Fifties.)
7. The tires on your RV have deflated over time, and you don't remember why you don't want to crank the engine. (Sixties.)
8. Sitting on the porch watching your great grandchildren play is as close to nature as you want to get. (Seventies.)
9. When your kid drops by to take you to see the doctor it becomes an expedition into the great outdoors. (Eighties)
10. You look out the window and wonder when was the last time you were out there. (Nineties)

You know you're getting old when you utter the phrase "Wow, has it really been that many years?".
"If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross; but it's not for the timid." -- Q, TNG: "Q-Who?"
^Words that every player should keep in mind, especially whenever there's a problem with the game...
You know when you're getting old when christmas and birthdays are just another day on the calender
"The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
You know you're getting old when the day after a holiday - and thus the day any associated candy or whatnot goes on sale - is more interesting than the holiday itself.

Nah, that's not really age, that's wisdom. You've come to understand the true spirit of the holidays. (and realized that most advertisers are lying about what it is)
In a related note, .... when you think about how commercials are total BS while listening to them.
Well, you know what they say; "Wisdom is Intelligence plus Experience".
You know you're getting old when you can walk into a McDonald's and not even glance to see what the Happy Meal toys are.

When you start paying attention to Colonial Penn and AARP commercials.
Your pain runs deep.
Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.
You remember using hundreds of Punch Cards for your final exam in your high school computer class.
And it ends up making a two foot tall print-out (on an old rotating-head printer) of Snoopy dancing with his bowl on his head.
(all made out of X's, 0's and assorted letters of the alphabet)
Also, you remember learning how to program on paper, in COBOL and FORTRAN.

Lol, not old by a long shot. About 10 of my classmates had children the first couple of years I was out of high school.
You know you're old when you can remember using Vinyl discs and VHS players.
You know you're old when you can remember owning and playing Atari 2600, 5800, and Vectrex

I sometimes get that over the phone...
And then I tell them I'm a guy.
Because I recall I just had my 30th birthday October 23rd, ....
uh, 1995.

1) Your listening to your favorite songs from the 80s New Wave and your kids friend asks "hey whats up with your dad listening to those moldy oldies"
2) You look in the mirror and wonder who the hell the old guy is standing there only to relise , its you
3) You walk down the street see two young hotties suck in your gut only to relise your belly is still hung over your belt
4) You go to a bar and try your best pick up line on the hottie at the bar and she replies "Your so sweet you remind me of my dad"
5) You remember a time before the interwebz
6) Cell phones were the size of bricks , and just about as heavy
7) You wear a full beard only to have the neighborhood kids mistake you for santa claus
8) You remember how old people used to tell you those annoying stories of when they were young , now your the one telling those stories
9) Young people complain about how us old people shouldnt be allowed to drive
10 ) You got to the doctor and the conversation always starts off with " at your age"

When discussing hair not found at the temples, the Gul says, "I'm a Cardassian. What's your excuse?"
or think of AD&D as the new version
and this classic.........

When your oldest child is now the same age you were when they were born.
You know what a "floppy disk drive" is.
And if the first thing you think of when you hear "floppy disk drive" is those 5¼-inch black squares
