It happens to all of us: The older we get, the more certain things start getting on our nerves. And yesterday, Reddit user u/hollowreader asked the AskReddit community: "As you get older, what's something that becomes increasingly annoying?"

Since then the thread has gotten thousands of replies. Here are some of the top-voted and best comments:
1."Petty stuff, like clothes not drying up completely, and they end up smelling damp."
2."Aggressive drivers."
3."People who aren't self-aware. There is a huge free weight area at my gym, and people will still come and start working out like 3 feet away from me like it's no big deal."
4."That some part or other of my body always seems to be in discomfort."
5."People who don't know how and when to be quiet."
6."People who not only yell while they’re on the phone, but do this while having their call on speaker in a public place."
7."Distractions, they are everywhere, and honestly I don't think it's just age that makes them seem like they are increasing. I feel like I'm constantly being distracted by things I'm not interested in. Stopped watching television, can't take all the commercials, especially the drug ones and political ones."
8."Kids doing stupid garbage to go viral for invisible approval. Licking ice cream in Walmart freezers and putting it back. Testing positive for COVID and sneezing in people's faces."
9."Willfully stupid people."
10."Hair coming out of my nose and ears. Like, why the fuck?"
11."When people do not know how to stop at a four-way stop."
12."The music I grew up to (metal) being used in children’s cartoon soundtracks and VH1 flashback specials."
13."How paying bills or doing some basic things have not advanced with technology. Why are there service fees for automated phone payments?"
14."Clothes. It's like after a certain age they try to get you to wear 'old people clothes.'"
15."People not picking up their dog's shit."
16."Cold weather. I used to love bundling up with some hot chocolate and a good movie. Now I just think about how expensive the heating is and if my car will start."
And finally...
17."Noise, so much noise."
