Come on man! That's farmer/redneck.... not old coot. And yes I know because I say it and I'm not an old coot.

Wore a t-shirt older than half the people at work.

I'm pretty old but I've never heard 'old coot', only old fart. Maybe it's a regional thing but that probably makes you way older than me.

Gal? You qualify as an old coot just by using 'Gal'. The bad spelling qualifies you as a Pelican. :)

Dang, I did that back when I was a teenager. :(

You know you're an old coot when you stop buying "green" bananas, (A joke I stole from my Uncle Dave).

I often say, "Over yonder." without even thinking about it.

Last year I went to Kinkos and out of the blue I said that I wanted a "mimeograph" copy...the first word for copies when I was in the second grade...7 yrs. old...1952.

Sometimes I'll say, "Xerox" copy.

Fill 'er up with Ethyl...from the early '50's...my father would say.

I still smash the old bar of soap onto the new one.

Some old habits were really hard to give up. For example, when I was a kid, we had the decency to go out of the house when we had to sch!t. :eek:

Even Bucee's is self service

I don't have to say anything.
Last I went to a hamburger place to get a burger. When the guy told me how much it was, I said, "You automatically gave me the senior discount, didn't you." He said, "Yeah, sorry."

Baby coot...young coot...coot....old coot...

There is a pretty steep learning curve :)

Not to be confused with the female version...

I get "senile old fk" a lot these days. And that is just from Mother.

^^^^^ bold text is a surefire sign you're an old coot.

James, a new Buc-ees is going in on IH10 near Katy and is going to have 120 gas pumps... not a misprint 120 gas pumps and the store will be 56000 ft2....

They would have to hire a lot of people to pump gas if it wasn't self-service... :rolleyes:

One of my buddies runs "Jet", the gas station section of Conoco Phillips in Germany. They actually study Bucees as a model of increasing revenues.

I guess another sign......

I remember personally driving up to the pump at "Sarge's Service Station" and a man came briskly walking up to the car (my 1960 VW bug) and I of course said fill er up. He did check the oil, checked the tire pressures, cleaned my windshield, and asked about my family. We all bought gas there so he knew us all. When it was time to pay it was $1.80. It was a 10 gallon tank and I got 9 gallons of gas at 20 cents per gallon during a gas war. Another station down the road had it for 18 cents per gallon but it was not as nice as Sarges. I also vividly remember my outrage the first time I had to pay THREE whole dollars to fill it up.

What do the kids say when they're going to call someone? Do they say "dial the number?" Do they wonder why we say that?
I remember when dial in our area was new. Before that we had to " ring someone up" by turning the crank on the side of the phone. "Number please?"

When working on the farm in the 1960's I remember being on a party line. You had to make sure nobody else was talking before you dialed the number.

Ah yes, the phone with no dial on it, and you had to listen for your specific ring, so that you knew that the call was for you. Had the same deal in rural NJ when I was growing up in the early 60's. To place a call, we had to talk to Beulah, the operator.

too funny

someone called me sir at the gym last night. That makes me feel old.

I refuse to admit to doing these things.
