Not here. And I'm past half a century. This country makes me madder every day, the worst being taxes. Why do I have to pay for the all the liberal crap I don't vote for, nor could take advantage of if I wanted to? People are getting dumber, insanely so. Hard to be tolerant around stupidity.

For me, the older I get the more things and the more people annoy me. However, at the same time, my reaction is more controlled and thoughtful and my tolerance level is increasing. More things annoy me than they used to; but, my reaction is more reserved and calm.

Learned many years ago that clear thinking and a cold heart is a more successful way to face the world than emotions run amok. It makes me a better shot as well.
Sometimes I just tell them to get off my lawn, other times I let my pistol do the talking. I think it's telepathic, since it hasn't barked yet.
I am..........disturbed.

I think I have meowed some, getting where I don't care about alot of stuff I can't control. Country's gone, folks in charge are nuts and are just out to ruin what's left! I take care of me and my wife, few close friends. Going to stop watching the news. TV just sucks anymore nothing but blacks & Gays. Thank God not much of it where I Live. Got my guns, the woods and lakes to keep me going for now.

Old people really light my fuse, and always have. I’m very forgiving of younger people and silly stuff they do and the troubles that befall them. That’s their learning process.
But old people play games, show their ass, and act like toddlers. I’m disappointed to discover that in their case AGE DOES NOT BRING WISDOM. Old people think they are immune to being set in their place. If youre an old fool and have dicked around for 75 years and Not gotten your wills, estate, your house in order and you are ever cûnty, you deserve whatever ill happenstance befalls you.You have no place to be short and crabby to people just because youre an aloof forgetful, partially deaf dumbfukk. Not all of them. However there is a great percentage that present exactly as you describe. My wife's mother, you just described her perfectly. She is wearing us out. Especially her daughter, me not as bad.

Oh hells to the no! Seeing my beloved Country being flushed down the toilet by the most evil and corrupt scum ever to hold public office? Seeing wrong being celebrated as right? Seeing the U.S. Constitution being used as Charmin by those who took an oath to uphold it? No, I'm becoming less mellow with every passing day  .

I mellowed a bunch when I retired. Major step change.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

Not me. I am really a lot worse than when I was only, say, 50 years old. Short fuse and disgusted with events.

53. Would say I have.
You need 5-10 years yet.
But, and this is a Kardashian Butt.
It's not 100% across the board.
I've gotten a little slower to anger, a little more tolerant, a bit more understanding and compassionate about the plight of others.
Harder in response to certain actions and situations.
Not sure age softens you.
I think it amplifies your character. The good and bad.
The meanest people I've ever been around were older.

And how do we define that , do we look at
Anger
Dispair
Disorder
Frustration,,,,, with the way that the world has gone and is going,,, how can it be fixed ,,, can it
be fixed,,, at what cost,,, in time for our kids , grand kids .
Anybody have any real answers.

Yeah , definitely.
Not near as hard assed as I once was .
One day you realize that you too will eventually be an old dumbfucgk .
Put a lot more effort toward helping older people I love and understanding their plight .
But on the flip side , have lots less sympathy for young people pissing their lives away not trying to accomplish anything.
Espeacially the really dumb dumbasses .
Young people who get hysterical about dumb shiet and do stupid shiet .
Just the other day , got caught up in a boyfriend girlfriend thing . Girl jumps on the vehicle and won’t get off . I backed up , slammed on the brakes . Still hanging on , pulled forward and slammed on the brakes , now she is starting to jump up and down on the car top .
That did it , zoomed ahead , slammed on the brakes really hard and sent her ass sailing onto the asphalt. Mashed the gas and ran over her arm and gave the boy a stern warning while driving him home that if he came back, I’d kill him .
Things were tense in the house for several days but back to normal now .
They go around thinking they know shiet
and they don’t know squat .
I’m generally pretty easy to get along with , just no tolerance for people who think they know something about life and me .
