Driving at night just sucks.
I hit that in my mid 20s. Turned out my headlights sucked and I needed to clean the inside of my windshield.
Weirdly enough I got way better at night driving post-40.
Aww I love that you still go out at night though. I don’t unless I bus.
If I sleep wrong I wake up in pain.
At age 30, I noticed I couldn’t skimp on sleep anymore and hangovers were much worse than in my 20’s.
In my mid-30’s my eyesight started to blur and I had to start wearing glasses.
At 40, my digestion isn’t as good as it used to be and I take supplements. Also, it’s harder to memorize things now, and I no longer have the option of missing workouts or daily stretching, because I notice it much more if I haven’t done these things.
Waking up with a new pain and having to make it the new normal.
So very much this. Waking up now includes logging what does and does not hurt. It sucks.
Got excited about a four slot toaster that I bought.
I don’t enjoy gaming anymore
I don’t enjoy live service games or multiplayer PVP anymore.
I’ve elevated to single player only experiences or PvE only
I don’t think that’s a age thing.
I still do but I just don’t have time for any serious gaming, so it’s only quick or indie games for me. But I think I could see myself get back into an MMO or something when I’m retired.
I got excited about a sale on toilet paper. It was 50% off for 30 rolls of the really high quality one!
Ah but you’re not really a proper old guy until you get a bidet and start bitching about how medieval everyplace you go is that doesn’t have one.
The clothing styles I wore in middle school are cool now, except those damn low rise flares will not work on me at 40 because my mid-section would flab out everywhere. Damn kids.
My shoulder still hurts from last week when I slept funny.
The idea of staying out past 10pm sounds terrible.
I almost set up a breakfast date with a friend for 7am.
I’m really excited for a larger capacity water heater.
I’m starting to do that thing where I look down to focus on small text right in front of me.
Time feels way faster as you get older.
It’s also pretty grim that the people you know are either dying, dead, or have a life altering illness that comes out of nowhere. I feel like there’s a funeral in my family once a month, rather than once every decade.
I feel you, I hate it.
Hot take but I think it’s because people stop having or seeking out novel experiences. Most of people’s lives are repetitive and boring jobs with barely any time to zone out in the evening. And once your kids move out and you’re with a long term partner, hardly anything is dynamic in your life. Or fresh. Or unexpected.
Having to do something on a weekday evening is a huge inconvenience.
Cuts and such heal WAYYYYY more slowly.
I also seem to bruise easier.
Im not old but general lack of energy compared to when I was younger. Likely a symptom of both age and more responsibilities. And this pain in my leg I’ve had for months.
Nobody mistakes me for a teenager anymore.
Kids call me “lady”
I want to go to bed at 9 PM
I get excited for new appliances
Gray pube.
