56 Things People Started To Dislike With Age (And Other Signs You’re Getting Old)

Yes I remember being pretty dumb

Yes.. we were complete morons. I'm surprised we are here to read this. But, I'm happy to say, I never used the term," I know, RIGHT"? I'm a combat Veteran, but hearing that brings my PTSD to a boil.

At least we knew what belts were for, and how to use them properly....

100%

When they pass you are going to be alright! When I lost my mom I was gratefull to take care for her. With a nurse I washed her and clothed her. Then the nurse took out her earrings and put them on me ( never took them of!) and this year she is gone 10 years. Yes I miss her. Just with simple things like she doesn't get to meet our new dog. Things like that. But when you go from... she's gone 6 ours to 6 days, to 6 weeks, your life goes on. And thats it. Your life goes on till you die....And i'd allways thought my life would stop if she died... It did't.. Enjoy them for as long as you can!

Enjoy them while you can.

When my father died in 2009, I got very anxious because I am an only child and my mom, good health or not, is going to be the first person since the Old Testament to approach the age of Methuselah. Honestly, she's pretty healthy (80 years old) and we've brought in some cousins and good friends who will help me when I need to take care of her.

Just said it today

Whole reason I sowed seeds was so I’d be less sad when it rains.

As I grew older I just told the ppl who complained that they better move to another country where rain is rare. Because we live in Denmark and rain is quite common here. I am just so tired of ppl complaining about the rain.

I have a friend in Arizona that complained about the heat there but ended the conversation with the saying "at least it's a dry heat". He then said I see you got a lot of rain in the Midwest. That must be terrible. I said yeah but... At least it's a DRY rain... 😜

I get glared at for saying this.

For me it's TV shows. There are shows I watched as a kid that I'd swear ran for years and years, but now when I discover them on Netflix or DVD, I realize they only aired for one or two seasons.

Summers in the 1970s, as a farm kid, when school was out, and you were too young to drive.. you social life was over.. For what felt like YEARS! Now summer is about 10 minutes long.

Hit 45 recently and it seems like the passage of time doubled in the past 5 years....it's weird

When you are five, your last birthday was 20% of your life ago. When you are 50, it's 2% of your life ago.

Years fly by but why do microwaves and elevators seem like an eternity.

Both and both. I need the other half of the shirt. Many older women do. Whether it’s from having a kid(s) to stubborn belly fat in older age or both. And ffs yes, real pockets that actually can hold things.

I went back to wearing guy's pants so I could have pockets and I didn't want half a shirt the last time they were in style!

Yeah, POCKETS! WTF? Who thought FAKE pockets was a good idea? WHY???

The way things are going, soon it will only be the bottom of the shirt that's available to buy.

Plenty of dresses these days with pockets online at A place. and the pockets are deep (at least in my length). the other alternative was a purse or stuff in your bra like grandma

Yes. Lol. 9pm, would you look at that, it's sleepy time. In my teens it was 9pm? time for soccer lets go.

I've been sleeping during the day the last 27 years. My bed time.hasnt changed in all that tim. 7am and I'm ready for sleep.

This is most people. I used to be able to survive on like 2 to 3 hrs of sleep...no idea how I did it besides just youth.

ha

Dogs are the way to go.

"I’m 40 and I’m starting to dislike people altogether. Any advice on how to keep that from happening?" Why would you want to keep that from happening? 🙃

Glad to hear I am not alone with my opinions :-)

Hearing Alice in Chains and Metallica on the classic rock station. That one stung.

The good music is still good but it isn't all as great as we thought it was.

Or you go back and listen to the music that DIDN'T survive. Listen to that with an objective ear and without nostalgia influencing you. Without that crutch it is some hot garbage and puts the hot garbage kids listen to today in a new light.

I heard a song by The Clash while out food shopping. At least it wasn't "Lost in the Supermarket"

Or all your favorite songs are used to sell junk on tv commercials.

I don't even know what I like to do anymore.

Me too, just keep going...what can you do? Just keep fighting.

People have been bemoaning this for centuries. T'aint nothing new.

I have found there is respect left and it was given to me in the South; Georgia and New Orleans to name 2 instances. Also people I have met from the South as well. However respect is also earned. Give it and alot of the time you get it back.

I'm getting close to doubling the drinking age...before I quit drinking, I began to enjoy the thrill of getting carded

Reading this made me feel old. I was twenty in 20 in 2000

Look at history. People have always been stupid.

At least ignorance can be educated...you can't fix stupid! 🤷

It was seriously depressing finding out how many of those people were relatives and people I always assumed were thinking, logical humans

"Basket of deplorables."

You're just a professional social distancer

Reminds me of an Eddie Murphy quote about never leaving the house .. something about his dog I think

I used to love star gazing and friends and I would even spot satellites slowly gliding by. Even with glasses I can't see those satellites now and the stars don't look the same through a glass screen. I really miss my lazy nights star gazing.

When I worked retail during the pandemic, I was in my late 30s (38-40.) Most of my co-workers were in their early 20s. I had a few co-workers who were 17-18, and it was surreal to realize that I was their parents' age. I don't feel like I'm 41.
