Old age - It's got me :-(

[Uncle Fester]

OK, it's official - I'm now old    

Working in the garage last night, I needed to attack something with the angle grinder. As I needed to get close I had to take my glasses off, because correcting my distance vision now means I can't see stuff up close with my glasses on!!  

As I was using the angle grinder I shoved on my protective goggles, to protect my, less than perfect eyes.

When I'd finished generating sparks I took off my goggles but couldn't find my f**king glasses  

I spent 20 minutes stumbling round my Westy-filled miniscule garage searching through an out of focus haze trying to find the stupid things (no they weren't on the top of my head   )

Eventually I gave up and had to call the wife out to help me find them!  

Suffice to say that, despite me telling her not to laugh, as I wouldn't find it funny, she chuckled merrily when she found them on the floor right next to where I was standing  

About now I really regret taking the P**s out of all those old boys I used to work with who had the same problem

Getting old sucks

if it makes you feel any better i was angle grinding a suspension part on a car and in deep thought about what i was cutting, started the grinder up then thought i would approach it in a different way so turned the grinder off, and for some reason tried to stop the disc with my finger

its amazing how quickly they get to the bone

trim my ears most days................... it is once you get past 40 everything is knackered

[RedditchJay]

at least you found your grinder...........needed mine not so long ago to work on the 110 Landy, I have put it away with the paint brushes...........why  god knows

You're not truly old though till you start ringing things like tha in the fridge, and presumably the bottle of milk in the tool box.

fixing electricals will make old people very old.

Did that with my petrol rotary mower! T'was clogged with damp cuttings, I thought I'd briefly upturn it and put my fingers under the edge of the hood...

You're not really old until you walk upstairs, stand at the top of the stairs wondering why you're here and decend only to find you went up there to visit the loo.
