We’re not getting any younger, and there’s little we can do about it. And we may ignore it, but the reality sometimes shamelessly comes right into your face.

For example, when looking at your phone pictures from last year, or when lathering your skin with anti-aging cream, or when suddenly meeting your unrecognizable childhood friend in a supermarket, or when scrolling for your birthdate in a drop-down menu. These painful reality checks hilariously remind us of the passing time.

So when someone asked “What made you realize ‘you're old?’” it hit a soft spot for too many people out there. A whopping 16k comments later, the all too relatable responses are in, and oh boy, I never felt as ancient as I do right now.

Costco is known to do this deliberately so that shoppers will discover products they didn't know they needed whilst looking for items on their lists.

I wouldn't mind the rearranging of the aisles if it made sense. One day I was looking for light bulbs and couldn't find them anywhere. I finally asked an employee who directed me to... the baking aisle! Office supplies were across from the canned soups and electronics were in the aisle with cereals. It was total anarchy!

It can be if you are mobility challenged. I can't tell you the number of times I have wanted to just grab a few items and get out of the store because I was in pain, only to have to wander all over the place because they moved things. When you are young, it may be slightly annoying. But when you get older it becomes a big deal.

2 of my nearby grocery stores did this in the last year and both of them put the bread aisle right in the middle of the store!! To me it made sense for it to be on the perimeter where they had it. At least they both put the bacon by the eggs where it belongs.

Laura Wasser, a family law expert and chief of divorce evolution at Divorce.com, told Bored Panda that a positive outlook on getting older involves accepting it as a natural part of life and concentrating on the upsides. 

“As time goes by, we acquire valuable experiences, insight, and a better comprehension of ourselves and our surroundings. Instead of getting hung up on the unavoidable bodily changes, let's appreciate the wisdom, personal development, and connections we've made over the years,” she explained.

According to Laura, “keeping our spirits up and feeling thankful help us nurture a happier, more satisfying attitude toward aging while still looking after our mental and emotional health.”

Being in a relationship as you grow older offers many positive aspects. Laura explained that one of the main perks is the sense of companionship. “Sharing life experiences, memories, and moments with someone you care about makes life richer and more satisfying,” she said.

“Additionally, being in a healthy partnership leads to better mental well-being. Research indicates that people in strong relationships experience increased happiness, reduced stress, and a lower likelihood of depression.”

Moreover, Laura noted that sharing your life with a partner comes with practical advantages. “Life becomes easier when you can tackle daily tasks, financial matters, and important decisions as a team. This shared responsibility leads to a more enjoyable and manageable lifestyle.”

We also wondered why our society is so obsessed with staying forever young. Laura explained that “people love the idea of staying young because it reminds them of a time full of chances, energy, and new beginnings.”

“Being young means having more freedom and fun, and as we age, we often miss those simpler times without many responsibilities. By trying to stay youthful, we hope to keep enjoying life like we did when we were younger,” she said.

Moreover, our society values and promotes youthfulness, Laura argues. “You can see young people and new ideas in movies, music, and ads, which makes us think that being young is something worth chasing after.”

i hate grocery shopping. The Safeway near me has now blocked off access of the exiting area from the entrances, and the exit area has the public washroom. I used to just go under the chains or lift the gates up in the closed checkouts. Now they chain shopping carts in the closed checkout aisles. So if I need to use the washroom I have to push past people in the tight check out lanes, or try to hold it and wait to pay for something. It's giving me so much anxiety. what if there's a fire? What if someone has realized they needed a shopping cart instead of a basket? What if someone just needs to leave because they realized they forgot their wallet? Why do we have to be trapped in? That's what it feels like. Trapped.

I still find guys in their 40s up too old and seem creepy on dating apps where there's so many young women. Or maybe I just find dating apps creepy in general. Idk. I have bf now, anyways and I hope we grow old together and I'll never have to resort to trying a dating app out again. Last time I got hit up by the same guys and recommended the same guys week after week. Tried looking for someone new, messaged a few guys. I had on my profile I'm looking for a long term commitment but men would just ask if I'm looking to hook up. Shows no one reads profiles, or takes females seriously. One guy started messaging me back. After the 3rd message he was like "Are we going to meet up or what? I'm not doing this messaging b******t." Like, whoa bucko. Chill out. So I immediately blocked him cos that was scary af. It was a learning curve, finding more about who I am, really, and discovered I need more time to heal from my previous abusive relationship and come to terms that I'm more asexual.

Even though I've parented my own daughter and she's an adult now, I still feel powerless around teens and kids. Try to rein them in and it's their parents that intervene and encourage rude behaviour. If they're being a nuisance towards you, starting getting a reaction then they whip out their phones and start recording the "Karen". Now you got them AND online trolls bullying you. You can't discipline online trolls. You can't discipline kids who are not yours. Adults have lost so much power in just one generation of kids. This is one of the reasons kids should not have smart phones and easy access to social media. I've put my foot down and dying on this hill.
