Old Man Test

[Malo83]

Can you pass?
Not me.

 

[BISCUT]

I do it every day. Sometimes the left knee (my strong side) that needs a replacement is tight and makes it difficult. Most days I'm a go but I'm only 49!

 

[KJSmith]

Old Men are smart enough to sit down and put their shoes on.

 

[loneryder]

No way.

 

[stangguy]

I am not sure I could do that 50 years ago, so I am really an OLD man. (78)

 

[totegoat]

I keep my shoes tied and use a long handeled shoe-horn to get them on.

Just done at 48 you can’t achieve this that’s a problem 8 years ago no way the fork is usually the issue.

funny but true!! at 73 my balance is fading but working on it as i want to continue riding motorcycles! beside balance your leg strength is key + being 5-8 + only 160 is a plus as only a few years ago i did single leg squats, body weight only. with most people being overweight to put it nicely i suspect even younger people would have issues trying that!! BUT if we never challenge ourselves we will never be able to do simple activities as we age, use it or loose it, YOUR choice!!

 

[CharBaby]

My balance isn’t what it once was but, I can do this.
Although not first thing in the morning nor if my back hurts that day.
But when I’m working & sweating or working out, you betcha!

 

[FT92]

can do at 66

 

[UncleDave]

Can you pass?
Not me.

standing on my left leg I can dress the right foot, but a motorcycle injury threw my right leg out of line enough to be unable to do it the other way around.

 

[JohnnyG]

He's good, but I don't think he's in his 70's yet.
Too bad he hasn't learned to tie his shoes correctly though.
And, no, due to circumstances beyond my control, I can't do that.

 

[miden851]

no way I could do that, i'm 45

 

[ATex7239]

Flip flops = forever young

 

[Nick1994]

Just did it, 27!

 

[AZjeff]

Got it. Wife came in in the middle and said don't fall down and hit your head.

Even used old man black crew socks. 64

Go for time Nick?

 

[dnewton3]

What I "can" do and what I "want" to do are two different things.
Yes - I want to do that.
No - It seems I'm old and can't.

Can you pass the rich man test?
That's where you're well-off enough to have someone do it for you!

 

[Snagglefoot]

Crocs.

 

[JohnnyG]

Velcro

 

[manicrodder]

I looked down at the sock and that was pretty much it.
