You know you're old when...

You strain your lower back while putting on your compression socks

You know you’re old when,

you don’t care when a manufacturer removes technology from a product.

Oh man I hope you are referring to the same thing, and I'm not that old:
Last night on a joy drive at night, I kept thinking how nice it is to have 2 dials in front of me, car speed and engine speed, with 2 small ones for gas and oil temperature, and the orange illumination that doesn't tire me at night (I have it set to low brightness).
Can't fathom how people drive at night with screens on max white brightness in front of them. I guess they don't drive?

A dime? We all kept a piece of wire about 4" long in our wallets, if you put the wire through one of the receiver holes and touched the other end to metal case of the phone you would get a free call.

On Halloween you walked around your own neighborhood with just your friends and it was after dark.

Wifey and I just came back from our usual walk out of our neighborhood and across to the McMansion neighborhood. Holy Shit. The streets were lined with cars and SUVs and there was a steady line of more traffic weaving through them with some large ATVs mixed in. Not sure how that's safer than having kids walk. I doubt more than 25% of those people were from that neighborhood. I guess it's a thing now to pile the kids into the family vehicle and drive them around to as many neighborhoods as possible?

I saw the following scribbled on a stall wall many years (decades) ago:

"Here I sit broken hearted, paid a nickel and only farted."

Ha....you know you're really getting old......... when you don't drive at night.

Hopefully I've got decades before that. However, that's why I live in the city - so I can walk or bike almost anywhere.

Not only did you correctly identify the device, you were also able to put it in context of a period-correct colorized talkie!!!

I'll get off your lawn now.
