"I Love My Friends, But I'm Literally Getting Too Old For This": People Are Revealing The Common, Everyday Things They Will No Longer Do Now That They're Older

Getting older means our tastes in certain things will change, which is totally okay, by the way. So when Reddit user BeefsteakChuckies asked: "What shit are you too old for?" people did not hold back. Here's what they said below.

1."Clothes that are uncomfortable. I dress for comfort now."

—Spray_Scared

"This!!!! Over the last few years, my style has gone from cute to comfortable. This is most noticeable when I travel. I used to be that girl with the bomb outfit going through the airport or at the work event.

Now, I'm all loose pants and Chucks. I will wear some Converse anywhere that I can get away with it. I am not standing in heels for hours, and I'm done wearing things that cinch or pinch."

2."Knowing who is famous."

"You know you’ve crossed the Rubicon when you start asking yourself, 'Who the hell are these people?' when you read a movie or music headline."

—Ksumatt

3."Adults that have the emotional regulation skills of a toddler."

—StrengthPublic6768

"We fucked up this woman's order for takeout. It was a whole mess. Our system went down, we wrote it by hand wrong... issues upon issues. We were totally in the wrong. It was a learning moment for us at a restaurant that prides itself on perfection.

She said, 'Thank you for completing my order, please do better next time.'

I was expecting a total Karen moment. The absolute patience and understanding of this woman. The next time she comes in, the meal is on the house. I fucking love her for what was 1,000% our fault.

We literally had a sit down with the staff for: 'This woman could have left a review that could have been really bad — and she should have.' We fucked up, but bless her mental and social intelligence."

4."Passive-aggressive people. Mean people. No time for that nonsense."

—juniper_berry_crunch

"Yeah, it’s honestly wild how many people are like this. I’ve been told numerous times about how kind I am, but I feel like I’m just doing what anyone else would do (i.e. helping them pick up something if they dropped it near me, complimenting them, asking about their hobbies and such, etc.). I think that’s what any regular person would do."

—Hello-Avrammm

5."Crowds."

—CalendarFreshStart

"Seriously. People are just so… people-y."

—dirtygutshot

"Especially at concerts. I've decided that if I ever end up at one again, I will be a balcony person. I'm done with standing for three hours in a sea of people who all think they're in their own personal bar."

—GrizDrummer25

6."Drama."

—DC4L1964

"Sighs in American."

—Aeshaetter

"Sighs in Canadian."

—divadani00

"Feels guilty in American."

7."Staying up past 10 p.m."

—LSDthrowaway34520

"This one hits. Night owl my whole life. Going to bed early and having energy throughout the day is so important nowadays.

When I was younger, I could stay up late and just go the next day with no issues. Now, if I don't get at least seven hours, I'm just a slug."

—Petyrgozinya

8."Staying longer than I want."

—Brooklynbrown71

"I've learned to embrace the Irish Goodbye over the years, which was admittedly much more difficult than it needed to be as I'm from Minnesota. But god damn, is it freeing to be able to just get up and leave the event. I don't know if you know this, but those Minnesota goodbyes last longer than a church service."

—GutterTrashGremlin

9."Night clubs."

—GhoulishCasserole

"Once in a while is fun. I’m hitting 33 this year, and I absolutely love it. I gotta get my wiggles out."

—dustynude

10."Pretending like I’m not at work to just collect a paycheck. I don’t want to be subject to your ego; I just want to do work and go home."

—kellyguacamole

"I can't even say how true and real this is. I don't get why the answer, 'I want to work here so I get a paycheck,' is somehow a bad answer. It shows complete honesty, which is what a lot of employers want."

—Poultry_Master123

11."Drinking alcohol. Having two drinks puts me in a hangover for a couple of days!"

—serendipitycmt1

"I was too old for that shit pretty shortly after I stopped being too young for that shit."

—NickElso579

12."Saying yes when I mean no."

—Gazeladygg

"And being 'volun-told' for something you would never do."

—squirrellytoday

13."Sleeping on pull-out couches."

—KuriousJeorge90

14."Generational lingo. I have to Google things constantly because I always forget what the phrases/words mean, presumably because they're so dumb my brain refuses to store them. Skibidi that."

—LucidMarshmellow

15."Bending my knees."

—DiamondWolf_166

"No doubt. I sleep wrong, try to do this the following day, and I'll creak like a Haunted Mansion door."

—Consistent-Ad-8746

16."Pretending I'm having a good time when I'm not. If I am not, I will go home, where I have good times and good sleeps."

—Mimi-bo-beanie

"I'm at a house party right now, and I'm literally about to do just that. I love my friends, but I'm literally getting too old for this shit."

—Dimachaeruz

17."Concerts. In my 20’s and 30’s, I would go see shows regularly, but now… too loud, too crowded, too smelly, too expensive, and TOO LATE."

—Remarkable_Barber158

"Yes! Why can't we have matinee concerts, like at 2 p.m., so we can still hit happy hour afterward and get decent sleep!?"

—Practical_Maximum_29

18."High heels."

—No-Understanding4968

"Dressy shoes in general. I've been buying 'fashion sneakers' to wear with my work clothes."

—MrsEmilyN

19."This shit."

—Saltedpirate

"Gestures broadly."
