I love old people. They get to chill all day long, living their lives freely, and don't give a hoot about anything. Old people will spend all day watching What Would You Do with John Quiñones and feel no shame. I don't know if my silly young self could do the same.

There are a lot of downsides to being old. You're much more physically limited than when you were younger and start to forget things you used to remember. It's really not a great time in your life, but all you can do is make the best of it.

My grandmother is 92, and she recently was the belle of the ball at the hospital because nobody believed she was 92. She's as sharp as a tack, and she looks like she's 75. There's no real moral to this story; I just wanted to let you all know that I come from a line of attractive women who live a long time.

Redditors came together to share some of their favorite quirks that older people possess, and I can't wait to try these out in 50 years.
