How to know you’ve grown old while watching TV:
You don’t know if you’ve seen the series before
You can’t remember what happened in the last episode
You have your phone open to ‘cast’ so you can find what else the actor’s been in
You cringe at all kinds of explicit sex scenes even when you’re on your own
You cringe at tampon adverts about the ‘flow’ exclaiming “I don’t need to know that!”
You cringe at adverts for ED medications
You say “Christ, he/she’s got old!” When you see an actor you recognise, forgetting that you have as well
You put on something you want to watch and fall asleep 5 minutes in
You keep pressing ‘pause’ to alternate between getting a drink and having to pee
You have a favourite chair for viewing
Everyone who comes in the room complains that the sound is up too loud
You put on the text because you can’t hear ‘because of the accents’ but have to squint to read it
You can never find the remote.
