As you've got older, what tends to be more annoying, than when you were younger, and what do you find more difficult to do as you've aged.

sex in the eighties would be a little too hot for me
I consider middle age to start around 65... but in theory, it is probably about 36.
My dad didn't make it to 60 so I would probably consider it younger than that. I've had two friends die in their 40s recently.
Teacake, go and have a pedicure one a month. Easier than Yoga.

Middle age is over, when people start suggesting that a visit to the garden centre for coffee, is a day out. :(
teacake, I have been enjoying that as an outing since I was about 25. That's not called being old, its called being a gardener.
I love going to gardencentres for a mooch and a cuppa and maybe even a bun!
As more and more people are living to 100 I would think that middle age starts at 50.
Becoming older is inevitable. We have no say in the matter.

But, it's still our choice entirely as to whether we become "old".

I've always maintained that I am approaching middle-age........ but from the opposite direction ;o)
I'm definitely older. In fact I've never been this old before !
(Every day I am a record breaker.)
So have I, ummmm... the first sign of getting on seems to be an obsession with having tissues or hankies with you all the time...
Not sure about the most annoying, but the thing I find most difficult is watching friends and relatives pass away due to cancer. I belong to a group on Facebook called London Fire Brigade Cancer Club (all retirees like me) and since this was started some 8 weeks ago, the numbers that have joined is beyond belief. It's a club where you can "talk" about this most horrible of illnesses with people who are in the same boat - some in remission (me) and some who are terminal. Sorry to be so morbid but that is the most difficult thing or me.

I find that my thought processes and things I enjoy remain unchanged from when I was in my twenties.

I do find my body is less flexible that it was, and aches more, and I have less stamina for late nights than I did.

Other than that, I am a patient soul, and little seriously annoys me.

I am not sure, I have carried a clean linen hanky with me at all times since I was a teenager, and always do now.
I can`t stand a lot of background noise in pubs or restaurants. I hate having to shout to be heard - especially when eating. Didn`t bother me at all when we used to scream into each others ears at the disco as a teenager. I can`t sit in economy on a long haul flight anymore either - makes my legs fidget.
when in my forties I considered middle age to be about sixty and then when I became sixty I couldn't think of anybody I knew that was 120, so decided middle age is about forty. Regarding annoyances, I find littering the worst. I was taught at an early age, by my Mother, to take my litter home. To this day I still stuff rubbish into my pockets.
My things are stairs and toenail cutting.
Brain fog. Nowadays I can't even string a sentence together. Plus I have no short term memory. I believe this might be my "age".
science to your rescue, teacake...
