I used Google to try and find a list of things that kids graduating high school never knew. SDtuff like a phone booth, record player.... Have seen lists like those floating around the Net, but could not find one updated. They really make you feel old. 

HOWEVER, I did find this.

When you are old everyting makes you feel old.

I had a bartender too young to remember Nirvana as anything other than past history. That one hit me pretty good.

...and 1.

The first time I heard Metallica on a classic rock station.

Being called sir by anybody.

Listening to 80's & 90's on Sirius.

Realizing that had I played a professional sport (outside of NASCAR), I would already be or retiring this year. I'm older than Peyton Manning & Kevin Garnett. But am younger than Tiger.

I remember the entire family gathering around to watch the World Premier of that video.

My younger friends make me feel old.  I have the unique situation of growing up with the same group of kids pretty much my whole life.  Our parents still live in the same place, so I see them pretty regularly.

My buddy Chris is about 5 years younger than me.  When we were young, that was a HUGE difference.  When I was 15, he was 10.  I was 18, him 13.

Now, he just turned 30.  Our age difference is nil.

Anytime I look up a movie on imdb to find out how old it is. I just looked up Happy Gilmore to see that it is 16 years old.

When you discuss stuff around "younguns" like Polaroids, cassette tapes, or pay phones and they have no clue what you're talking about.

Hearing your favorite bands like Guns N Roses on the classic rock station

When you realize there are people who have graduated college who were born in the 90's...

- Adding to "younguns" cassettes,VHS tapes,etc... Explaining to them,I graduated high school pre-windows 1995,back then we had to take typing class on typewriters

- Referring to someplace by what it used to be 10+ years ago....I confuse people at work with this constantly.
