Well, as for me. An "old person" thing that I do is forgetting what day is it today, waking up too early than most people of my age, my body temperature is sometimes too warm or too cold, scolding meddling kids, talking repeatedly and misplacing things.

Keep the pesky kids off my lawn. And groaning a lot when I get up from sitting for awhile.

Apparently I am old because I prefer print books to e-books.

I do the groaning thing as well haha! Mainly to tell the universe how unhappy I am to have to move.

I’m also very slow to throw things away, just in case they’re useful one day!

Repeating a story to someone, groaning when standing up, complaining my back hurts from standing, forgetting what the day, month and year it is, forgetting how old I am, and forgetting what I did the day before.

Almost all of the above and losing patience with the stupidity of some young folks.

People say I am old hearted for liking certain foods like butterscotch, olives, and root beer candies. Then I also love to crochet too. I just like to sit in my living room with a hot tea and a nice book with my butterscotch candies. I guess that makes me old at heart. :)
