I still remember the day I grew old. After forgetting my change at a self checkout machine, an younger attendant ran after me and refered to me as 'sir'. After that day, I was no longer young. I was 29.

I'm sorry that happened to you sir
I realised I had become an adult when some woman told her kid "that mister" would tell him off if he didn't behave, and gestured in my direction. I looked behind me. There was nobody there.
I had become The Mister. The stranger based punishment of exasperated mothers everywhere. Fear me, little children, and despair.
Mister, this is a Wendys.
I remember the day as well. I walked all through the store grabbing everything I needed and while waiting in the checkout I realized I forgot the milk. I laughed and said "Oh wow" then the guy behind me looked at me and I shrugged and said "I forgot the milk!" and left the line I'd been standing in for a few minutes to get the milk.
My age at the time didn't matter because it was on that day, I became old. Talking to strangers in the grocery store, forgetting to get the milk, and laughing about it? Old.
Damn, I turned old when I grabbed some coloring pages off the ground to give them back to a child and got called the "nice fat lady" afterwards by the child. Double whammy

I still feel addressed when there's something about "young people". At 34.
39 here, same shit. I'll roll right into the "how do you do, fellow kids" meme
- Same lol.
Doesn't help that the media has been infantilizing millennials for 20 years.
48 here. Had a minor heart attack earlier this year, so sometimes I'm starting to feel old.
What is a “minor” heart attack?
Heart attack < 18yo
When your hear hurts a bit for 2 seconds and you've accepted that your time has come
A heart attack where you have almost zero loss of heart funtion afterwards. Also, no loss of consciousness, just feeling really bad for an hour.
You're one year older than me and we're the two oldest people here so far, which makes me feel super old.
I hope the minor heart attack is the only one you ever have to suffer through.
Fun thing about being this old: I thought I was turning 48 until my wife told me I was turning 47 a few days before my birthday.
Fun fact about being 48; I'm turning 50 next year, which sounds a lot. But I only feel old-ish when mentioning my age.
Wait, I'm not "young people"? (37)
I think under 35 is kinda young. Maybe a few hundred years ago you would have counted as old but nowadays with modern healthcare people live much longer and healthier.

This doesn't stop even when you hit 40
Me with my 30+ year-old ass: Oh, this meme is about people in their 20s. This is about me!
Me in my late 40s: Rustydrd speaks for my demographic! I feel so heard!
Me remembering I turn 27 in 13 days. 💀
Turn back now!
Bro how? This ride is out of control.
Now you are that much closer to 50 than birth!
When I turned 25, my mom told me I'm a quarter of a century old and that hit me so hard
I'm 32.
Get off my lawn.
You have a lawn? Impressive!
Me and my spouse rent a 2B2B trailer in a trailer park. It came with a yard. Lol.
Ok
This meme is so old that I was 27 when I first read it.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
No ❤️
be like me. Can't become old if you identify as an immortal god to whom age has no meaning.
doesn't stop my back from hurting through.

I never understood why this particular meme needed to be told from within the SpongeBob universe
Probably because a bunch of people around the age that relate with the meme are still watching SpongeBob
Yes. This. Speaks to the twenty-something crowd well.
Same reason shitposts from 20 years ago use cartoons from 30 - 40 years ago.
Most people in their 20s (who grew up with any sort of western cultural influence) have memories of watching spongebob as a kid.
Its literally one of the most influential and popular children's series of the past 20 years, if not ever.
The first time I can remember feeling old was when I was walking home behind a couple of kids and one said to the other in a cautionary tone that there was a "big ol' guy" (or words to that effect) behind them. I guess I seemed menacing in some way? I was in my early twenties, which means those kids are older now than I was then.
I am half-way through 21 now so I can't say I'm basically a teenager anymore :(
