1. Bending down and seeing your face fall in front of you

3. Getting to the supermarket check out and then emptying the contents of
your wallet or purse onto the counter for the check out person to count
out

4. Wanting a tartan shopping trolley

5. Getting up at 5.30 every day for no reason

6. Queuing up with the other wrinklies for your pension

Unhappy Re: Reasons for not wanting to get old...

Prune juice, crappy cars, lots of doctors visits and having to take a battery of tablets, roll-on deoderant sticks, approaching the Hayflick limit...etc.
