Top 5 Signs You're Probably Getting Old. We're all getting older day by day and there are little signs that may show you are. Buzzfeed put out a long list of signs you're getting old.

We're Not Getting Any Younger

We are all getting older and there the usual signs your doctor will give you. Like your bones are a little more dense now. You should relax more and not move around so much. Take these medications to help with whatever you're dealing with. But the Gen Z'ers, they are more brutal when it comes to reminding the rest of us how old were getting.

A Long List of Signs You're Getting Old

There are 35 signs you're getting old. On X, the topic started to trend and the responses from the Gen Z'ers are great and sadly true. Here are 6 through 15 signs you getting old or are an old person from Buzzfeed.

  • You judge parents if their kid isn't wearing a jacket.
  • You watch the local news every night.
  • You've recently stood outside a store in the morning, waiting for it to open.
  • You start conversations with strangers in public.
  • You know exactly where your heating pad is.
  • You leave the plastic on things to keep them "new."
  • You've recently said, "How do you work this dang thing?"
  • You've told a server, "Please give my compliments to the chef."
  • You cut your juice with water, because everything's too sweet these days.
  • You drive by a nice house and say, "That's a nice house."

If you read this list, then you're probably stressing or worried what to top 5 are. Let's be honest, you probably do majority of  the list above. Below are the top 5.

1. You Carry And Eat Tums Like It's Candy

According to the list on Buzzfeed, this is the number one sign you're an old person. You always have a roll of Tums to pop to relieve heartburn. I actually just took one before writing this. If this is something you do, this topped the list. Guess that makes us old.

2. You Print Your Boarding Pass Still, Even Though You Don't Need To

I still do this as well. I don't know if it's because I'm getting older, but it's more so peace of mind in case I can't access it on my phone or device. But sometimes the old way's are the way to go. Do you do this?

3. When Trying To Remember Something, You Snap Your Fingers

Guilty of this too, although my snapping game is pretty sad. But I make the motion as if I am snapping loud. But do you snap when you try to remember something? This is sign number 3.

4. Can't Stand Or Sit Without Making A Noise

I am also this person. When I sit down, I make a relieve sigh. When I stand up, I make a loud grunting sound as if it helps me get up. Do you do this? This is the number 4 sign you're an old person now.

5. You Use Your Speakphone For Most Of Your Calls

I am guilty of this. I do this with pretty much most of my calls so I can hear better. Also because I have a giant phone and holding it up after a while is uncomfortable. Do I sound old?
