Your "feel-old moment" for today

[Scutter01]

Today is Ralph Macchio's 50th birthday. Now don't you feel old?

 

[danielocean03]

I'll do you one better. Who?

My feel-old moment of the day (bear in mind I'm 26) was at the Apple store at the Fashion Mall (Keystone) tonight. I wanted a specific type of screen protector for my iPhone, and that was the only place that had it locally. I don't own any other Apple products aside from iPods and my wife also has an iPhone, so I've never had a reason to go into the Apple store before. The store was insanely busy, with roughly fifty or so customers milling about, but they also had roughly twenty associates working the store.

Once I located my screen protectors, I couldn't find a cash register to check out. A friendly employee asked me if he could help me with anything, to which I replied "I just need to pay for these, but I can't find the checkout." He responded with "We're all checkouts", and proceeds to pull out an iPhone with a built-in credit card reader. He then takes down my email address and asks if an emailed receipt is ok.

I was practically dumbfounded. This store was a flurry of activity, but between this ultra-efficient method of payment and the employee-to-customer ratio they had, things appeared to be running pretty smoothly.

I heard the Grey hairs popping in on that one.

Really?!?! ...but I'll bet he still gets carded when buying booze. Are you feeling old Scutter?? Hope I look that good when I'm his age!

...wax on...wax off.

 

[danielocean03]

Ah... Karate Kid. Now I get it. I wonder if he can accept payments with his iPhone.

 

[Vince49]

Uh huh.

Sunday is my baby daughter's 40th. Somehow that makes me feel older than does Ralphie's 50th!

Wow, I can't hardly imagine my daughter turning 40! Mine is just about to turn 6!

 

[Vince49]

I just know I'm too young for this !!

Wow, I can't hardly imagine my daughter turning 40! Mine is just about to turn 6!

Me either! Or the pending birth of Grandchild number 8!

WOW, I had no idea he was that old.

I just looked it up and he was 27 when he played "the kid (part 1)." I'm not much older than that now, so I'm good.

 

[Tango]

i read the icp thread

 

[JohnP82]

I guess he really isn't the KarateKid anymore. I had no idea he was 50

 

[Dr.Midnight]

I had no idea he was even close to 50. It does remind me that I'm getting a little age on me.

I should have known I was getting up there just a little when I started buying three of everything. I wanted to be able to find the damn thing when I was looking for it.

I still haven't figured out how to program my VCR.

I'll have to take my iPhone and credit card reader to X store and pull this scam too. First I'll have to buy an iPhone...

I played golf yesterday. While I normally play a couple times/week, I have only played a total of 6-7 times this season. Combine that with the 48 degree temp yesterday, aaaand it seems a VERY hot shower is in my schedule this morning. I think my neighbors heard the creaking of my bones when I got up today. I just don't bounce back like I used to. Sheesh...

Watching Jamie Lee Curtis in an activia commercial.

Buying slugs at gander mountain, the check out girl asks for id then giggles.
