12 years ago I could dunk.
Now I can only grab the rim.
I hate that I got less "game" because of my thinning hair -- it's becomming obvious because when my hair starts to grow out I got almost no game and as soon as I get a haircut women start looking again and even laughing at my lame-ass jokes.
I have to pee in the middle of the night.
That sucks.
But it could be worse:

Are those grey hairs on my head? Only a few, sure, but that's how it starts.
And why do I have to become a weather station? Weather is supposed to add variety to the sky, not affect my well-being.
And in less than a month I'll have a birthday I still remember taunting others about.
And being old is bad - but being not old enough is worse. Being the guy in the middle.
You're annoyed by those old farts going on and on about how everything was better and worse (yes, sometimes in one sentence, and both makes the oldsters greater people then you somehow), not adapting to things that you think are just part of life, and talking about boring old films and music.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME you're annoyed by those damn youngsters. The little brats have it better than you, and not appreciating that makes them lesser people than you. And of course a lot of what they're doing is worse than what you used to do, also making them lesser people. They are so flighty, constantly running from hype to hype and actually being surprised that you won't buy into their short-lived fads. Their music and favourite films all suck.
What's up with that?
In each eyebrow I have a few hairs that grow REALLY long. I assume this problem is only going to get worse.

Ugh. Ditto. My wife calls it 'Hawkbrow.' I have nightmares of ending up with crazy old-guy eyebrows.
Still it could be worse:

Same problem.
I hate you.
I get odd single hairs on my shoulders....
Young people make fun of you.
Well, I don't hate that about getting older.
I'm young.
And making fun of you ;)

I hate it when people who are not much older than you make fun of you for being old. I once had a person who was only 3 years younger than me call me old.
I have a lot less energy than I used to
Edit: I also hate how many of the things on this list apply to me. Dammit.

I need to take naps in the middle of the day. Like around the time of my lunch break. I feel like a million bucks afterwards, but...I actually NEED them now.

realizing that politics are going down the drain, here and everywhere...
... and understanding that what caused this is that my classmates in school are now calling the shots.

I hate that my urge to hump is slowly, but surely and quite noticeably, diminishing.

Hate that, too, because it makes no sense :P
Realising that people who were born in 1990 (which doesn’t seem that long ago) are turning 21 this year.
Realising that people who were born in 2000 (which was supposed to be the future damn it!) are probably starting high school next year.
The worst moment comes when you realise that the girls from those smut rags were born in the year you learned to drive.
Luckily, not quite there yet.
hearing songs on the Classic Rock station that I listened to in high school ... or college ... or ...
Luckily for me, the music I like is never on the radio.
But that's another scare: Suppose you don't like the music you used to like, because it's too loud now.
Having to make a noise as I pull my socks on
Increasingly shouting at the TV
The dreaded realisation that I'm turning into one of the grumpy old guys from the Muppets...
went to get my hair cut and she trimed my ear hair and my eyebrows, I have damnedable ear hair.
6. My daughters are far more tech savy then I
7.Going to bed before 9pm is my norm, my favorite shows are on after that, blast it all!!!!
Well you can always have your daughter set that TiVo thingee...
but some more:
16: Posting on a list in the internet and watching those whippersnappers throw away the numbering...
17: Realizing that those moronic kids that you cut the school budget for 15 years ago are noe taking care of you.
18: Damn kids on my lawn.
19: Watching the younger generation piss all over the things you loved and created.
Here's the thing that bugs ME...
When you're 7... Girls 6 and under seem way too young for you, girls that are 7 look very attractive, and girls 8 and over are way too old.
When you're 14... Girls 12 and under seem way too young, those that are between 13 and 16 look pretty damn fine, girls 17 to 24 look good but are way out of your league), and women 25 and up are just too old.
When you're 21... Girls under 15 and under are just kids, girls 16 and 17 are mighty fine (although you can get in trouble for thinking that way), girls 18 through 35 are fair game, ladies 35 through 45 spark your imagination somehow, and women 46 and up are just too old.
See where this is going?
When you hit 40 (Me, now)... Girls 17 and under are kids (although those getting close to 18 start to look mighty interesting, but they can send you to jail, so...), girls 18 through 27 make your knees buckle but you wouldn't necessarily plan to live with them, girls 28 to 49 are faire game, some women 50 to 60 still look appealing somehow, and women over 60... well...
I'm afraid of the day when I hit 55... Any woman over 18 will probably make me go completely bananas.

... and about those ear hairs...
I've been contemplating dunking my ears in acid vats to remove them (the hairs) permenently. Mwouahahaha!!

For me, I'm looking forward to becoming a dirty old man. They always seem like they are having a good time.I also look forward to the day when everyone will excuse any behavior of mine by saying "He's old and crazy."
You have to start early and train your OLL (old lecher laugh). You absolutely HAVE to get that right. Add grey hair and dentures, and you'll get away with everything.
You could dye the hair grey and just get some dentures (don't have to knock your teeth out), if you get the laugh right, you'll probably get away with it.
I also look forward to the day when everyone will excuse any behavior of mine by saying "He's old and crazy."
I just found today's facebook status.

I was trying to make musical concessions to the young hip-hop kids I work with and was listening to Public Enemy.
They all looked at me and were like "What's this old s~$%? I think my dad listens to this!"
I, personally, didn't realize the book was that old. Because of The Omega Man, I assumed it was from the seventies.
To be fair to the young, it was a 24 year old whippersnapper who set me straight.

Been made into a movie several times, yet not once did it follow the ideas in the book that made it a hit.
Bad Hollywood, Bad.

I have to respectfully disagree.
The Omega Man, although totally unfaithful to the book, is awesome.
Check out that pad.
"How does that grab you, Caesar?"
Hee hee!

20) When you talk to someone at a party, drop a reference from the 1990s and they suddenly look at you like you're their parent's age...
21) When you're talking to a bunch of Lt. Commanders after a seminar you're giving, and realize that NONE of them believe that the Cold War was ANYTHING like what you lived through. It sounds too much like a cheesy backdrop for a movie.
22) When you realize that you remember the Space Shuttle Enterprise, are watching the prep for the last Shuttle mission ever, and nobody has managed to crack the energy cost to orbit problem in a meaningful way...and none of the kids you're talking science and engineering to seem to think it's all that important or interesting of a problem.
23) When you watch people get Ph.Ds, and think "Oh god, they're all -children-."
(I am fortunate. When my metabolism slowed down at 36, I went from weighing 150 lbs to 175 lbs. I've stayed within 10 lbs of that weight since. My hair is light enough that the gray doesn't show. I don't have any major lines on my face...and I can easily pass for someone almost 15 years younger than I am...up until I 'know something' that I shouldn't.)
24 I hate that the Classic Oldies station that I listen to is now playing 80's crap music. That junk can't be old enough to qualify as Classic, dagnabit!
25 My baby daughter is older than most of the hotties on TV and in movies, and that's just wrong! If I stare at a hot bod in a bikini at the beach, now I'm a creepy old guy! Ugh!
@ Ironicdisaster: I was a lot older than you are now on the day you were born so you don't get much sympathy from here. In fact my daughter is a bit older than you.

I'm approaching my 4th decade of life and I feel like I've got another 2 decades before the chassis starts to creak and groan. I had a full physical a few years ago (minus the dip test) and the doctor said I was in perfect health. I almost asked him to check again! I haven't exactly been living clean. My 20's were a booze-soaked, psychedelic blur or swirl of moving colors and sound! I look 10 years younger than I am and I feel blessed for it. I've started taking better care of myself by doing yoga and eating higher quality food. However, I plan on being late to my own funeral and I'm gonna reek of cheap women and expensive booze.

26 You go to the doctors and some child makes tsk tsk noises and then tells you what you have to do...worse yet you find yourself promising to faithfully carry out her instructions.
When I was a child adults controlled my destiny. Now that I am getting older children control my destiny.
I just realised. I could legally date someone half my age. In a couple of years, I could do it in a lot more countries than I could now. And only a few years after that, I could do it in almost every countries.
