15+ Things That Are Definitely Showing Their Age By Now

But even with that in mind, this stuffed Oscar has actually held up remarkably well considering the uploader has had it since at least 1976.

The last time I saw a knife this close to its demise, it was being wielded by the bad guy in the Dennis the Menace movie.

Considering the weird way he used it to eat, I guess we could call that his "apple knife" as well. For some of you, I just brought back a memory you didn't know you had.

At this rate, it's hard to tell whether it'll even make it to its second birthday before it snaps.

This was taken at the uploader's grandparents' house and it confirms that the more well-worn a barn is, the easier it is to see inside of.

In this case, that's because this groove is large enough to make a little peep hole. In the case of my grandparents' barn, that's because of all the other holes in its walls.

As the uploader put it, that's because wearing it to work for all this time has molded it to fit around their hips.

They've pretty obviously seen better days, haven't they?

But since this was taken at the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument in St. Augustine, Florida, it's hard to narrow those better days down further than "between 1695 and now."

After all, eight months is definitely more than enough time to say you've truly gotten your money's worth out of some tape.

You can generally expect a well-loved workbench to have all sorts of knicks and blemishes in it but this one almost seems to feature more holes than actual bench.

Whatever happened here, I'm guessing it involved a lot of drilling.

In case you're wondering, this person works as a tester for the Ministry of Transport in the UK.

Apparently, spinning wheels and checking them for lumps and damage is a great for making yourself a pair of fingerless gloves the hard way.

Considering how volatile and stressful working in a kitchen can be, the most plausible answer appears to be that multiple chefs have thrown it around in frustration over the years.

If this pan could talk, it could probably curse in at least three languages.

So if you've ever seen a candy machine that seemed to be filled with chocolatey dust and the occasional shard of candy coating, there was probably a time when it looked like this.

It take a long time but it seems that your finger oil will eventually polish this part enough for you to see your face in it.

While it likely wouldn't be fun to brush a leg against them at the best of times, there's something about a little damage that makes ends like this feel sharper than usual.

As we can see, there was a whole different pattern sitting under these gray tiles all along. I guess it seemed a little too old school to somebody.

With that in mind, it's not terribly hard to see how the patch slightly in front of it was worn into the floor mat.

As the uploader put it, "It’s possible this floor mat has seen nothing but the underside of people’s steel toes."

And that's especially true when you consider that two dogs have already attacked it. Granted, those dogs are puppies but they can apparently be pretty destructive when they want to chew on stuff.

It's unknown how long it's been here but the fact that the paint seems to be peeling away in pretty specific areas gives a hint as to where the most scuffing and scraping happens.

According to the uploader, this table is 42 years old.

This relatively minimal wear makes it hard to believe that it was active for too many of those years but it's still impressive how it's retained so much of its vibrant color.

I obviously can't say the same for any of my mice since I've never seen one with multiple grooves worn into it like this.

But as long as the sensor still works...

Of course, we don't know whether this trail in Edmonton, Alberta became abandoned before this structure collapsed or whether that was the sensible reaction to it.

Either way, you're not likely to catch many people going in this direction.
