'I am turning into my mother and it terrifies me': 20+ signs that you've become your parents

There's a moment in everyone's adult lives when you realize that you have started to take on your parents' mannerisms for better or for worse. These mannerisms could range from the way in which you like to organize your kitchen cabinet to the phrases you use when you're frustrated at your partner (or even worse, your own kids). Of course, it's inevitable that we are going to take on the attributes of the people that surround us especially when we're young, no matter how hard we try to avoid it. For me, I realized when I was moving into my most recent apartment that the way in which I organize my closet is totally not normal and fully inspired by my own mother. Oh well! It's still organized. What can I say?

These Redditors now understand this reality all too well. They shared the exact moments in which they had these inevitable epiphanies via this thread on r/AskReddit.
