All the same tings I did when I was in my 20's. About the only things I'm not doing anymore (and not by choice) is taking walks, riding my bike, swimming, fucking girls and playing drums in my band, because I simply no longer have access to any of that stuff, anymore. Oh! And, buying records because, I've already 54,000 and just don't have the room for any more.
@FictionalCharacter True. I actually have an oldstyle phone that still works if I hook it up. I am using it as a Halloween decoration. https://imgur.com/uyHjy3B
I keep a landline and have a black princess phone attached to it, as well as some cordless ones. Because in New Orleans there are hurricanes and electric outages during regular rain storms. Landline always works (See, "The Day After Tomorrow" scene where Jake Gyllenhaal makes a phone call on a pay phone because landlines ALWAYS work when cell towers are too crowded or the electricity is kaput and your charger is too). In fact, even though I could NOT CALL OUT, people contacted me via my landline and found out I was OK during Hurricane Ida this past August.
I carry cash because that's the way I wash my car and put air in the tires if I have to pay. CHANGE!!! Cha Ching. And in some cases people will not charge you tax if you pay in cash. Real Old School.
I avoid online bill pay as often as I can because I have no hard copy records of my payment, such as bank printouts that show my checks.
I pay with checks for electric, water, any bill I need to keep copies of. I do not have a printer. (can't afford it...)
As people drive crazy, I drive like a little old lady or a little old man. It helps me go back into myself and relax. That’s life is short and I don’t want to make it any quicker than it is.
Enjoy my quiet time with coffee or tea, and do crosswords.

aww that sounds relaxing! I’d definitely do something similar but I’m too impatient to solve crosswords and I don’t really drink tea or coffee unless they’re iced😭😂😂

Finally truly enjoy driving at 5 under just to piss people off. C'mon seniors, can't tell me a lot of y'all don't do it. 😜🤡
Nope. I drive 5 miles faster to get away from those slow drivers. ;)
lmao
I like knitting (some people say it's an old lady hobbie), and I like talking to friends while we sit at the kitchen table having a hot cup of tea
aww I love knitting as well!! I used to be really into it and do it all the time but I haven’t done it in ages now😭
Feeding pigeons :) Fyi I recently turned 19 and have been doing it since last year. Joy of my life.
aww that’s so sweet!
Eat, sleep, shit, shave, shower, shampoo, piss, read, write, listen to music, etc..
lmfao...

I carry cash and I still use a land line. I do not pay bills online either.
You feel better when you slam that receiver don’t ya?
@FictionalCharacter No, it is a cordless phone with a big button that says "END".
That ain’t a stress release

Aww
Make sure no one steals that telephone ☎️. They’re rare and addicting lol.
Nice house by the way.
@FictionalCharacter Thanks. The phone came from my grandparents house. I will make sure nobody steals it.
Now look what you did. I’m looking up rotary telephones 😂

@FictionalCharacter too funny, but doesn't anyone watch old movies? Everyone used them in movies back in the 50s and 60s.
I was thinking the same thing. I learned how to dial rotary telephones through cartoons.
oh wow hahaha

I eat a lot of soup. I don't know if that counts as an old person thing though 😂
I love soup but I don’t eat it often hahah
For me, I have to have certain types when I go certain places. I think it’s an OCD thing.
To answer your question further, I wear sweaters, flat caps and khakis a lot. So I guess that those could be old people things
Cook more than eat out…stay in more than go out…refrain from traveling at night…in bed around 10…up early…honest about everything within reason.
that's nice!
From 2010-2015, not having and iphone. But then 2016-2018 70, 80 and 90 year olds had iphones while I still had a flip phone.
lmfao
Socially withdrawn, slouch, spend evenings in my quiet room and feel apathetic towards certain people or things.
I love spending quiet time in my room😊

aww that’s really nice, I drive like a lunatic🤡
Eating like old people.
Because that's how they got to their age.
lmao...
Complain about "kids these days".
Eat soup.
lmfao, can relate to the second one...😂
I list to lot of classic Italian songs. And listen to lot of Frank Sinatra.
nice!

Go to bed at a time earlier than when I used to go out lol,,,
hahahah
I call myself Mr Peterson and wear grey flannel trousers.

I fall asleep sometimes late at night while still awake
@Iron_Man
You are either awake or asleep.
@MysteriousDarkness i’m awake watching television at 3 o’clock in the morning I doze off When I’m not getting enough rest
lmao I do that sometimes too.. but on my phone instead of the TV
Lol cool
I ain't a party animal, always spend money wisely, always want things to be organised and tidy
I could relate to that…😂
Ditto 😃
im baffled by most of my smart phone's features and i just want it to shut up and do basic things
hahahah
Girls do much more of this from like age 5.
Me? I drive an old car no one would rob me for now.
lmao smart
