This chart kinda breaks down when you meet someone who doesn't follow movies or has poor memory. Awkward moments happen. Davidy²²[talk] 10:06, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Direct quote from transcript:
"The 2011 Guide to Making People Feel Old
-Using Movie Release Dates-"
The second clause is as important as the first. I don't follow movies too much, but it isn't hard to make me feel old ("Oh, you're a decade and a half already?" "Oh, you're two decades already?" "Oh, you're a quarter-century?", etc). --Quicksilver (talk) 20:39, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

You can still use this in the future. Just add n-2011 to each time on the chart. (Where n is the current year.) So for instance, in 2014, the 16 year old one becomes 19 year olds, and the year is "Just under a decade ago." 108.162.250.219 09:45, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
