I've recently noticed that I've started doing the fol1owing:

1. Holding on to the basin with my spare hand for support when brushing my teeth.

2. Unexpected skid marks when farting

3. Getting in or out of a chair is always accompanied by a shout of "Ay Up"

4. Can't be bothered to stand when going for a leak so now tend to sit down

5. Ear and nasal hair growing faster than the hair on head

When you wake up in the morning it takes up to half an hour to actually get up.Once up your socks seem to take forever to get on,you try to just slip into them after failing to bend down to reach your feet.When you look in the mirror you no longer try to look cool by holding in your increasing stomach,much better to just look away.When looking to replace your car the most important criteria is comfortable seats with the ease of getting in and out of it.............to hell with speed!

"When I was younger I used to find old people who had no spacial awareness and who get in the way in a shop or out on a street annoying."
In my experience it's "young" people that tend to do that and it drives me mad. The sort of people that get off a train or get to the top of an escalator and then immediately stop, often as a group, to adjust their luggage or decide which way to go as 50 people have to try and squeeze past them or just wait as they can't move.
