For example, mine is that I love watching Antiques Roadshow.
Arthritis, so I can predict rain with my knees.
I have opinions on my lawn and your proximity to it.
I love shoehorns and sneeze loudly.
Didn’t realise these were old person traits but then these are also mine.
My old person trait is being 72.
You! The only person on Lemmy older than me!
I try like hell to avoid shopping at peak times. Before Covid, I could shop at 2am, but now I’m one of the oldsters waiting for the place to open at 7 or 8am.
I also like Antiques Roadshow, but only the American version. I don’t give two shits about your mums tea set that was signed by the Queen’s dog-wrangler that you paid 50 quid for that’s now worth 200 pounds.
Involuntary groans whenever I sit down or stand up.
I have never purchased a smartphone and don’t want one. I still prefer to use a flip phone. Their quality has improved over the years so I haven’t been forced to switch yet.
70+ and mine is playing world of warcraft.
I liked watching it more when I was younger. Honestly many of my old person traits might be introvert nerd stuff. Its kinda hard to tell the difference sometimes.
When out eating and drinking, my preference is to go and order food and drink at the counter/bar, rather than install some app or give a website all my personal information before I can order.
What? This is a thing at restaurants now?
I like to go to bed at 9/10 and wake up at 4/6
Neuropathy. Weeeee /s
I avoid going out during busy times - e.g., rush hour, school zones, restaurants on a Friday or Saturday night.
I refuse to scan a qr code for a menu. Give me a damn piece of paper
This irritates the hell out of me, especially after those malicious link hijacks in the news recently. I’d accept a url before a qr code.
I primarily write in cursive.
Yes, me too. Cursive is easier and faster to write. Though I usually print the capital letters.
Ugh, I feel this one. I had only written in cursive for something like twenty years, and then I got a job where I needed to write in print for some legal reasons. It was super bad, yo.
