When did you first start to feel old?

I am by no means approaching the age where I’m eligible for a bus pass. However I’m starting to get to the point where things that were normal in my youth are now old fashioned. On holiday at the moment, went to put down a Euro coin on the side of the pool table. Lad who was playing said “is that mine?” Had to explain to him that as I’d never met him before, no it was not his coin and I wanted to have a go. Guessing he was about 15-16 - the age when I started to understand pool table etiquette. When I explained the concept to him at the end of the game he clearly had never come across this scenario before (to be fair he was respectful and let me have my go next). First proper stage of feeling old was when my favourite football team appointed a man who is younger than me as manager. You understand players being younger than you, but managers is a whole new concept. When did you first feel like an old git?
