Learning a lot by this thread that old people don't necessarily get wiser with age - can't let little superficial pet peeve annoyances go. They allow things to gnaw on them until they completely lose patience. Just gotta shake your head......

What does wisdom have to do with it? I know a lot of smart, older people who still don't want kids playing on their lawn!

I see that as more of a personality trait/issue, which has nothing to do with wisdom.

I sure hope to God they're wrong: start out as an infant, become a child, a teenager, an adult, and there's the circle of life! On my way back to diapers? And bibs? Throwing childish tantrums? Sucking my thumb?

This is the third or fourth time you've weighed in criticizing people who simply want to have a little fun with online venting about things that probably don't really irritate them THAT much in real life.
We get it - you're far superior to any of the "old people" posting here.
I'm with you. I HATE road trips, esp by myself. Would rather have bamboo shoots pushed under my nails.
Others I know love it. I don't understand that. Hours sitting on my rear end, having to focus on the road and other drivers, dealing with different road constructions or detours or other surprises, trying to get somewhere. I suppose others love the journey? It helps to have company, which I usually don't.
I've always been a worrying Nellie behind the wheel of a car, and you overlooked another stress factor: getting a very expensive traffic fine! That happened on my last car trip. It happened during one of my last, regrettable senior moments: a trip from Las Vegas to southern Oregon! Halfway there, I realized I had made a major mistake! And, trying to speed things up: a $200 ticket!

It helps to have a great sound system with excellent tune-age.

You laugh, but diapers and bibs are a reality of many people in nursing homes. You never know what will become of you. We must enjoy life while we can...
