... you have a small repair job and discover the tip on your soldering gun is in really bad shape. Then you remember you have a spare tip somewhere in the toolbox and this is what you find. Anyone remember Woolco? And check out that price for a 2-pack of replacement tips. I'm not sure but the date on that price sticker appears to be 02/90.

You know about logarithm and antilogarithm tables.

I have unopened spares for many tools/blades that I purchased at Rich’s in New Hampshire. I lived there from 1980-82. I consider those some of my newer items.

College kids are really bad about that. I see kids going to class all the time wearing PJs and flip flops.

You know your old when: at a funeral and one of the young looks at you and says might be a waste going home.

...when you knew you were in for a spanking when your mom called you by your full name.

...when you used to get your mouth washed out with soap for saying bad words.
