View Full Version : Signs that you have grown up.....
1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.
2. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
3. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
4. You hear your favourite song in a lift.
5. You watch the History and Weather Channels.
6. Your friends marry and divorce instead of "hook up" and "break up."
7. You go from 130 days of holiday time to 14.
9. Jeans and a jumper no longer qualify as "dressed up."
10. You don't know what time MacDonalds closes anymore.
11. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.
12. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
13. You take naps.
14. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
15. Eating a kebab at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach.
16. You go to the chemist for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.
17. A £3.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff."
18. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
19. "I just can't drink the way I used to" replaces "I'm never going to drink that much again."
20. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
21. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
22. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead of asking "Oh no.. what the hell happened?"
Bonus:
23: You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old butt. Then you forward it to a bunch of old pals & friends 'cause you know they'll enjoy it & do the same.
Any other signs of growing up??

and when, on leaving work having forgotten yer gloves, you walk back forty yards to the truck to get them just in case it's 'cold again in the morning'
