You know you are retired when

djw2112 · Jan 16, 2019

Hello, hope this is the right place to post this. I retired late last year and wanted to share this retired funny story.

We have had some cold days this week so far and have been inside enjoying some warm food and good movies. Yesterday decided to go grab some pizza down the road, got my coat on and my hat and shoes and locked up the rv. When I got in the car something was not right. That is when I discovered that I did not have any shorts on and was sitting there in my underwear. Now if they would have had a drive through that would not have been a problem. Suppose that I did not notice right off because I always wear shorts regardess of the weather. Since I live in the south I refuse to buy into getting long pants.

I suppose you know you are retired when you forget to put on pants of any kind when going in public.

I know I?m retired because I am no longer in charge of anything.

True that...If I give an order in my home...My wife reply's with...That better be dementia talking. ;D

But on to me...My wife talked me into a early retirement..I was thinking about after we sell this house and move back to AR. But so far here we sit and wait...So..

I Know I'm retired because most days I'M BORED OUT OF MY MIND.

Most of our stuff (My Toys) are already in Arkansas. And with colder temp's outside I'm stuck in the house.

But the wife is happy that I'm home

You know you are retired when pay day comes around and there is no pay. :'(

I had an Uncle (my dad's older brother) who would frequently wear his slippers when he went out. One day my dad asked him why and he said "One, they're the most comfortable pair of shoes I own and two, I don't care what anyone thinks!"

Google "people at walmart" I think clothing is optional. Next time you crave a pizza, go there and nobody will notice your lack of pants.

One of my favorites saying is: Every day is pay day and every pay day I have off.

I often wear my slippers to the store. I was coming out of Aldi?s one morning and a woman said ?You?re not that old?. I had to think a minute then it dawned on me. I have a sticker on my truck that says ?Old Fart Onboard?. I thought , I am too. I have slippers on, one knee replaced and the other maybe this year, bald, bad hips, need I go on.

You know you?re retired when you go out to eat between 4-6 for the early bird special. Or only go to the matinee movie because you can?t keep awake long enough at the later movies.

I have to look at my pill dispenser to determine what day it is, one weekend I took the pills for the wrong day and was totally messed up all week. If you think daylight savings time is hard...just try missing a whole day and trying to make it up.

Are you sure? Ever since I retired someone keeps putting money into my checking account every month.

You know you?re retired when you have lunch with old associates and they tell you how lucky you are.

Yeah, and as quick as that someone puts money into my account, someone else takes it out.

Being retired is miserable!
-- I never get a vacation.
-- No sick day to be off from work.
-- I never get weekends off.

Such a hard life. Woe is me.

Before I retired I had to schedule doctor and dentist appointments around my work schedule. Now I have to schedule my leisure activities around my doctor and dentist appointments.
