Let’s get real: The older you get, the more things change — and those changes can often be quite irritating.
U/Gaagookarecentlyaskedthe people of Reddit, “What are you starting to dislike more as you get older?” Sit back and relax as you scroll through, because you might just find some common ground:
1.“Crowds. I use to love going to big beer festivals or spring break to party. Now, when booking vacations, I purposely try to book in areas with smaller crowds.”

2.“When they rearrange the grocery store.”

3.“Loud bars. When I was 21–25, it was just normal. You go to a bar, the music is loud. That’s just how bars are, right? Now that I’m in my late 30s, I actively avoid going to bars that have excessively loud music. One of these days, I’m going to start shouting at the clouds, I’m sure of it.”

6.“I’m starting to really hate prank influencers. If one of those entitled little pricks fucks around, they will probably find out.”

9.“People my age. I’m Gen X. It seems I blinked and many of my age-mates became as intolerant as we laughed at our parents for being.”

10.“Fast food. It used to be a treat when I was a teenager. Now, I end up with acid reflux and feel like I need a nap afterwards.”

11.“Booming car stereos in my peaceful residential neighborhood.”

12.“The sound of traffic.”

13.“Conspiracy theorists. The conversation always starts with ‘Something fishy is going on here’ in a way that lets me know they have zero understanding of the topic they wish to discuss. A recent example I mentioned is a coworker who said something was suspicious about the fires in Canada (we were in the smoke path). I tried explaining how air currents work, and that there’s satellite images available to see it all happening and there’s really no mystery, but that wasn’t enough.”

14.“People with no manners! I swear the world has become totally disrespectful!”
— u / Cultural_Ad2939
15.“Music. I feel like they aren’t using any instruments, lyrics, or even proper singers for that matter. It’s all just pretty little videos with 30-second catchy hooks.”
— u / neeraj_agarwal
16.“Unfinished video games being released, then coming out with ‘patches’ to fix it. Just fucking release the game WHEN IT’S ACTUALLY DONE.”
— u / Qli2077
17.“Going to concerts. I do like the music. But I hate the trouble around it — maybe also because of my autism. Planning to go there, driving for an hour, expensive parking, crowds of people, standing on your feet for hours, driving back — it’s just not worth it anymore.”
