Many things tend to change over time, be it finding out that broccoli is actually not that bad or learning that crocheting can be fun even when you’re less than 70 years old. But even though time can change a person’s views on nearly everything, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s changed for the more positive.

Redditor u/Boring-Advice7763 wanted to learn more about how time can affect people’s opinions on things they do and don’t like. They asked members of the ‘Ask Reddit’ community what it was that they started to dislike more and more the older they got, and redditors had plenty to share, covering everything from social media to loud noises, and much more. Scroll down to find their answers on the list below and see if you’ve started to dislike any of them yet yourself.

    As someone who was raised by boomers, I will die on the hill that people have always had untreated mental issues; it’s just that they used to only flow down. These videos are stupid, but they don’t remotely compare to teachers hitting indigenous kids every time those kids spoke their own language. Or parents hitting their own kids, for that matter.

    I fully believe that the uber rich all suffer from the same mental health condition that so-called hoarders suffer from, but they hoard money rather than things. I also believe they are sociopaths, every last one. Money and power give people brain damage.

    “The Broom That Just Won't Stay Still”: 40 Things People Started To Hate Over Time Starting to get really tired of manufactured outrage. Every day, there's something new to be outraged about across pretty much all spectrums. Politics, sports figures, celebrities, even just general life things that people write articles about, or tweet about, or whatever.

    Constant outrage to get clicks and eyeballs. Gotta get people all riled up and steaming mad. Just getting sick of it, day in and day out. I don't know if there's an actual term for it, but to me I'd call it outrage fatigue.

He's just like his grandfather. or.. boys will be boys... or what did you do to upset him? F*ck that, F*ck him, F*ck you. The day I decided I'd rather be dead than put up with any more was the day I kicked his @ss out the damned door. To be clear, everyone in his family knew, just all looked the other way.

    People. People are disgusting. In high school I had s**t on my car door in a grocery store parking lot. It was a 8 year old sedan, base model other than having an automatic trans and power windows. I cannot fathom what brought somebody to do this other than a mental illness.

    As I have grown older, all I see are people that don’t care about anybody but themselves. I see trash getting thrown out of cars weekly, if not daily. Diapers on the ground in parking lots. Drivers getting mad I am only going 9 mph over the speed limit, just to have to slow down for a tunnel 1 mile away because everybody here is afraid of tunnels for some reason. Only reason I don’t go slower is because I am likely to get hit going the speed limit. Accidents daily, if you can call them that. I don’t consider somebody weaving between lines of traffic an accident. I consider them a moron who should get fined for reckless endangerment. I have had a new car I got (precovid, when you could actually afford one) get door dings and also somebody backed into it within a few months of owning it. I only ever parked at the back of lots or away from people, so this was 100% on purpose.

    If the housing market wasn’t so bad right now, I would move to the country with 20+ acres of land and not be near anybody.

    Sadly, with all that said. I know I am only seeing the lower 20% (or maybe even 2%) of the population. You don’t see the people doing the good things or people picking up somebody else’s trash. You only really pay attention to filth you see doing bad or stupid things.
