Growing older brings wisdom, but for these folks, it's also come with some irritations as well.

Nothing ever stays the same. When you're a kid, you get used to life as it is, and then you grow up, and it's a whirlwind of new technology, meeting new people who go in and out of your life, careers, travel, and much more. It feels like you were a teenager just yesterday, but suddenly there are wrinkles under your eyes, and your knees are aching, and you have never heard of the slang these kids are using these days. It comes at you fast. And the older you get, the more change there is.

These people below volunteered their opinions on the things that they dislike more and more as they get older. It's quite relatable — who among us does not get irrationally cranky when the grocery store puts the bread someplace new? And I certainly agree with the people who used to be able to party hard, but now need to go to bed at a reasonable hour now that they're older and more tired. A 10PM bedtime is so sensible — please don't make me party all night.
