Photos That Will Immediately Make You Feel Old

Have you ever had one of those moments of self-reflection where you stop and think, “Gosh, where did the time go?” Life always finds a way to remind us just how old we’re getting. It’s crazy to think of how quickly time goes by.

One day you’re a vibrant teenager who’s ready to take on the world. But then 10 years go by, and you find yourself scrolling several decades back to find your birth year. Ugh.

And who could forget about the first time someone called you “sir” or “ma’am”?! Eww. So if you’ve been feeling old lately, why not take a trip down memory lane and enjoy these nostalgic photos?

They won’t make you feel younger by any means, but they might trigger some memories that will make you cherish this new era of your life.

Pink Floyd Pride Shirt

This hilarious drawing shows a woman complimenting a guy’s LGBTQ+ shirt, except that the shirt isn’t actually a pride shirt, but actually depicts the logo of one of the most iconic English rock bands from the ‘60s and ‘70s, Pink Floyd.

They were considered one of the first British psychedelic groups and you can easily spot the band’s logo a mile away… if you were born in the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, or ‘90s, of course.

Free Minutes After 9

In the ‘90s, cell phone calling and texting plans were… well, let’s just say they were bad. For example, if you wanted to talk with someone, then you had to wait until after 9 at night. That’s an awful long time to wait to gossip with friends on the phone.

And texting wasn’t that great either because you were charged 10 cents per text. So you had to make sure that your messages were short and to the point and absolutely worth sending.

Betty White’s Older Than Old

Twitter user @SortaBad tweeted that Betty White was on “The Golden Girls” from 1985 to 1992 long before “most” of his followers were born. Some might even recall that she continued playing the role of Rose Nylund in the spin-off series “Golden Palace”

and later played Elka in the sitcom “Hot in Cleveland.” That’s right! This gal loves being an actress and even though she’s nearly 100, she’s proven that she only gets better with age.

This Dad’s Phoning the Past

The guy bridged the gap between the past and the present by plugging an ‘80s handset into his iPhone so he could talk while sitting on his chair in the living room. Of course, his son captured the moment and posted it on Reddit to poke fun at this hilarious boomer moment.

But dad was onto something here because handsets are far more comfortable to handle than today’s cell phones. Just ask anyone whose phone screen’s got cracked because they weren’t able to hold their phone right and it fell to the ground.
