Signs You Have Grown Up (and Old)
25 Signs You've Grown Up
1. Your house plants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.

2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.

3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.

4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.

5. You hear your favorite song on an elevator.

6. You watch the Weather Channel.

7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up.

8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.

9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."

10. You're the one calling the police because those damn kids next door won't turn down the stereo.

11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.

12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.

13. Your car insurance goes down and your payments go up.

14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonalds leftovers.

15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.

16. You no longer take naps from noon to 6 PM.

17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.

18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach.

19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.

20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff."

21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.

22. "I just can't drink the way I used to," replaces, "I'm never going to drink that much again."

23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.

24. You no longer drink at home to save money before going to a bar.

25. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that this doesn't apply to you.

When you play a multi-band gig, and guys from the other bands call you "Old School."

when you actually catch yourself saying 'when i was your age'

when teenage girls in skimpy outfits make your brain, not your inseam, uncomfortable.

I was at the grocery store and they were having a sweepstakes to win 2 years of free groceries and that excite me.
That's sad when 2 years of groceries is more exciting than than winning the new car option.

Good point Carol.

As a friend of mine said as he walked away from the stage after spending the entire show hugging the amps at Metallica concert (when they played small clubs)… I FEEL BETTER NOW :highfive:

Wear it, damn straight… I’m gonna be buried in it… it’s a Walter Dyer.

2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.


People actually start ruling out places to have sex?????

5. You hear your favorite song on an elevator.


LOL! I've heard Black Sabbath and Metallica as elevator music.

11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.


This reminds me of my wife telling me about how embarrassing it was to watch 'There's Something About Mary' with my mom. Especially the 'hair gel from the ear' scene.
