Default Things you do that make you old

I was pulling into the garage tonight, and realized that some of the stuff I do would qualify as grandpa stuff. For instance, in my garage, I hung tennis ***** from the ceiling so that my wife and I can park the car and truck and leave EXACTLY enough room for the garage door to close and miss the bumper by about 1/8". I know this is something old people do cuz I learned it from my grandad. Just curious if anyone else does strange stuff like this.

Damn, I do a lot of grandpa stuff for my ripe old age of 22 now that I think about it. I'm gonna list some below:

1) drive a grandpa car (A8 1999). True, previous gen A8s are trickling down to younger people, but the average age of new D2 A8 buyers was on par with that of Buick. My 82 year old neighbor has a silver A8 of the same year. Every other A8 I see out on the road is driven by old people.

2) frequent buffets (chinese), and in general only eat like 5 diff types of food, often the same thing several days in a row.

3) dislike cars with a lot of gadgetry, like satnav, etc

4) stockpile magazines (Time, Atlantic, Automobile, Car, Top Gear)

5) nick and avatar is an old guy

6) instead of a tennis ball, I have a large traffic cone in the garage positioned at the front left bumper
