Sure, we live in a youth-obsessed culture. But it's not like everyone stays young forever. For every model or athlete flaunting their youth, we can all sleep soundly knowing that they too will one day grow old and die. And that's the BEST case scenario. We've all got a ticket on the same train-line, honey baby, and everyone has a stop sometime.

But that doesn't mean we should trouble ourselves stressing out about our own mortality. We're only here for a limited amount of time, so we have to find meaning in that time. And even after you get "old" whenever that may be, you're still probably gonna be alive for a while after that too. Seriously, some people become "old" at age 25.

Here are some times when people realized that not only were they not spring chickens anymore, but they were more like processed, shapeless chicken food patties with poor knees and an invigorated interest in World War 2. By the way, there are only a few types of old men, and getting into military history is one of the signs that you're developing an acute case of "old," so watch out for that.

So if you're still not old enough to not care about what other people think, here are some more signs people knew they were old.
