We’ve alllll got our “hot buttons” and those change as we grow older.
Need a chuckle or just need to relate? Reddit asked: “What are y’all starting to dislike more the older you get?
Here’s what people had to say. Many of these are relatable and at the very least, some will make you feel less grouchy?
“Why is everything a subscription these days? Literally air will be $9.99 a month at some point. Also, I miss when apps were truly free with no ads.”
“Rude people. I work in retail and there are so many of them”
“My cellphone. I almost want to get a landline again. I hate feeling like I need to respond to everyone immediately and that I have to constantly be available.”
“Gossip. I never enjoyed it, but being around grown adults who speculate to over compensate for whatever insecurity is insanity”
“Meeting new people”
“Summer. The older I get, the more I hate the heat/humidity, as well as the bugs (specifically spiders). I cannot wait for winter to get here.”
“Actually going out to do things. I would rather sit at home with some snacks.”
“Cars driving through the neighborhood fast”
“Technology. I used to look forward to new innovations. Now, I look at ChatGPT destroying industries and robbing young people of their capacity to learn, and I want to burn it all down and start over by candlelight.”
“This is going to get me generally hated: dogs. They are everywhere and encroach on all aspects of life. All outdoor spaces seem to be monopolized by dogs and their owners…no other pet is like that.”
“The ibuprofen expense line on my budget”
“Crowds. It doesn’t have to do with disliking people; I just found that in my 30s, I kind of lost any enjoyment I once had when going to a place that’s busy.”
“Going to work 40+ hours per week. I don’t know how previous generations maintained this for decades.”
“Big cities. As a teenager I wanted to live in a big city close to everything and wanted to be rich and famous. I’m still very young but I’m starting to get more and more comfortable with the idea of slow living and small towns”
“Birthdays. I don’t know; they just don’t excite me anymore. They feel like any other day.”
“Social obligations. I used to be so sad when I didn’t get invited to anything, but now, I’m pretty good with it. Two to four social activities a year is more than fine with me at this point.”
