People Share 95 Old Person Things That May Reveal You’re Getting Old Too

ADVERTISEMENT

Brace yourselves, young ones — it turns out that old people things aren’t just for older people anymore! We’re not only referring to knitting, gardening, and drinking hot tea with a wool blanket on your shoulders, though.

It may be our sedentary life or the emotional baggage of living through a pandemic, climate change, and a widespread economic collapse — but it feels like we’re getting older and tired much faster than we used to. More and more younger people are involuntarily getting their grandparents’ small habits and struggles. You know… like comparing generations, being lethargic, groaning every time you get up from the couch, or hurting random parts of your body while doing random things that are not supposed to hurt. It’s all part of the fun (or not so fun) of getting old!

If you’re starting to notice that you’re doing more and more cliché old people things, don’t panic — you’re not alone! According to an AskReddit post, many younger folks are getting into the elderly game, whether they like it or not. The signs of aging are creeping up on us all, so the next time you catch yourself doing something that your grandparents would do, don’t be embarrassed — embrace it! After all, old people’s habits could be the new cool, and there’s nothing wrong with being a trendsetter. Ready to find out if you have already joined the ranks of the cool old folks? These are signs you’re getting old, and you better not be ashamed of them!

"I'm part of a quiz team of 50-60 years old men called "The Old Gits" that does pub quizzes in a golfing pub. I am a 25 years old woman and probably the youngest in that pub by about 20 years. 90% of the questions are 'before my time' but I help out with all the gaming and youth culture questions that throw all the other teams off. I'm their secret weapon. I get to learn a lot of interesting stuff and there's a great selection of real ales there. I love it."

Same as with cross stitch, knitting, sewing, or any other creative endeavour which requires developing a skill: it does not make you seem old. You're absolutely fine and as long as you're not hurting anyone have fun! It's not any different than people saying playing video games makes someone a "kid", it's simply untrue. We can and should all like whatever we want.
