  I didn't even know they were still in production! Luckily my parents still have a couple that all function just fine for whenever we want to watch a home movie or something we only have on VHS still.

  I have to admit, I'm with @labro, I assumed they stopped producing VCRs a long time ago.  But, yeah, an invention that came and went in my lifetime, lol.

  My worst "wow, I'm old" moment happened when I noticed the signs in liquor stores that say "You have to have been born past XXXX date to purchase alcohol"...had dates that were PAST when I graduated from high school.

  Like, people who are now old enough to drink weren't even born yet when I graduated from HS.

  My H is 10 years older than me, so I occasionally get a jab in here and there.  But we went to apply for our passports a couple months ago and, as I gave him my documentation to hold he said (in total innocence), "Wow, your birth certificate is really old and tattered."  And, as soon as he said it, I could see by the look on his face that he realized how bad that sounded.

  I wasn't actually upset and he knew that, but I gave him a mock angry look and said, "Really?!?!  Really?  Did you really just say that my birth certificate is old and tattered?, lol"
