People shared the signs they are officially ‘not young’ anymore and these 27 are very funny and painfully relatable

We only age one day at a time, obviously, but one of those days is likely to be more profound – and profoundly depressing – than all of the others.

What is that day? It’s the day that you realise you are officially ‘not young’ anymore.

Profoundly depressing is overdoing it – could be worse, right? But these 27 signs that you are officially no longer young, shared by people over on Reddit, are very funny and painfully relatable.

‘I was in my late 20s, at work talking with one of our new interns. I can’t remember why but she asked how old someone was and I was like, “I dunno, about our age?” She gasped and asked “How old do you think I am??” Then I gasped and asked, “HOW OLD DO YOU THINK I AM?!”

‘Anyway, that’s when I realized I was “not young” anymore.’

‘When I was trying to hang out and play with my kid at school drop off, and she was like, “mom! Not in front of my friends!” I realized in that very moment that I was not young, fun, cool mom, but indeed old, regular, embarrassing mom. Also, every single time someone calls me “ma’am.”

‘Saw some neighborhood kids messing with a stop sign while driving home. I slowed the car down, rolled down a window and said, “Hey… I think maybe you shouldn’t be doing that.” Which in my mind meant cut it out before an adult catches you.

‘But these kids look sheepishly at the ground and give me an ok like I was the adult in the situation. Which I was, gently chastising children for fooling around with public property.
