When you realize the person you're talking to doesn't remember Mount St. Helens, or the Space Shuttle Challenger blowing up, or the fall of the Berlin wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The Mount St. Helens thing actually happened. I gave a clerk my birth date and she said it was the same as her boyfriend's, and I mentioned that it was also the day Mount St. Helens erupted. She clearly had no idea what I was talking about. I told her it was probably before her time.
