‘Too Old For This’: 40 Things People Are Getting Too Old To Tolerate

If someone talks to you, look shocked and whisper "You can see me?!"

I’m about to the point of begging for an alien abduction. It would be a rescue mission.

It wouldn't be so bad if people were more respectful of other people's space, not ramming into others just because they feel they don't have to move around or wait for someone to pass, and not putting their hands on other people when they pass.

The only good thing about covid was "Social Distancing"

Honestly, I hate people and I'm still in high school

There are restaurants and/or stores that I no longer go to because of the music - it's too loud.

THIS. if i cannot hear or be heard over the music and voices in a restaurant, i don't want to be there. i *also* take a custom set of earplugs to movies, restaurants, concerts, etc. Unapologetic about it too, bc i don't want hearing aids in 10 years.

I’m the same way except with music, I blast it, go figure! There’s a golden rule I live by when it concerns playing music, especially Metal music. “If you ain’t gonna play it loud, don’t play it at all” 😆

At this time I live smack dab in the middle of a small town that is unfortunately surrounded be traffic noise, loud traffic noise , bypass on the west side, town main artery to the south side, a business route to the east, and a “ shortcut” from the north. All. I. Hear. 24/7. I’m looking for something farther outside this zone, which is an undertaking all on its own. And it is everything Loverboy says it is, plus pollution from exhaust and all those particles of tires, etc.

I use special earplugs that allow the music to be heard just fine but blocks the harmful sound waves from destroying my eardrums.

You just have to choose your battles at some point.

It's just a waste of time and effort trying to change the mind of someone who doesn't really care anyway.

Not sure on this one, sometimes I just need to call b******t. I don't mind flat eathers thats a them problem. But anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers and one of my fav's on boredpanda "all men are perverts and bastards" don't spread that c**p around.

Too bad it’s so fun 🤩

I only argue online where everyone is bots. None of you are real including me.

My friend found a lovely retirement community for artists and active seniors that has tons of classes and group activities. She also divorced her husband that just constantly brought her down. She was a movie hairstylist for 40 years and they even have a salon there she can do clients in for extra cash. I’ve never seen her so happy.

Let your former boss call you at your consulting fee of $500 per hour, one hour minimum

Consider leasing a place in the 55+ neighborhood you think you might want to buy. 55+ places can be a real eye-opener. I'm not saying it's the wrong choice, just consider giving yourself some time to see if it's what you want after 3 to 6 months without committing by buying a home.

You are never too old to start a new chapter

Good on you 😊

The other day I was so tired and went up to bed, as I laid there facing the window, realized it was still light out

That’s when s**t gets crazy wym

I do not have the energy for anything going on past 8 and if it has anything to do with interacting with people, not gonna happen.

I like events that end at 9 PM

I'm in bed by then!!

Gonna brag a little bit, I love to cook because I want my food to taste delicious, and I make damn sure I get what I want xD So whenever I make ANYTHING it always comes out tasting really good because my imagination is the main ingredient, besides a dash of TLC. But by no means am I the master, that rank belongs to my mother 😌 Sometimes you just gotta say “oh why not?”, as well as put in that little bit of extra effort 🤷🏻‍♂️ On the other hand, energy is the key ingredient to that one, and I’ll admit not all the time do I have it; haven’t cooked in about 3 days 😅😅

I ate healthy for a long time because we didn't have healthy food as kids. It didn't always taste good, but it was "fueling the machine". Now, I eat whatever tf I want. Feel like fruit salad? Fine! Bag of Flaming hot Cheetos and a bottle of amarone as a midnight snack? Excellent choice! When you are young, life is long. When you get older, it's not.

Most of my delicious food comes out of the microwave.

Those of us with severe digestive disorders are jealous of those who can enjoy a varied menu!! I sorely miss a good Caesar salad!! 😋

I've spit out candy that wasn't tasty enough

Yeah I’ve finally reached that point in my life and I’m happy I did, although it took quite some time to happen. It feels almost like, refreshing, Idk; feels less mentally draining I suppose.

I don't think I'll ever be able to stop caring about others no matter what. I think this is the one thing that makes a human part of humanity. When I was homeless and an addict, if no one had given a c**p about me I probably would have unalived myself. Instead, many people came to me and gave me plenty of reasons to keep going. I've learned what people care and what people do not care. I will fight hard for the people who care until the end of my life.

Tough habit to break, this one.

It took me too long and many times of being sh*t on before my AHA moment.
