Why Do People Grow Intolerant With Age?

[alyxowl]

Not to generalise but my parents have definitely very adverse to the world.  For example the weather is always 'awful', the tv channels are 'awful' and if there's more than a 2 minute wait on the phone to speak to someone then their service is 'awful'. 
 

I heard my dad grab a packet of crisps from the cupboard just now and heard him moan 'uhh bloody hell no f****** roast beef'. He walked back to the lounge with the second best bag of crisps and when I looked a minute later his face was still stuck in a despair grimicing mode with his teeth showing. It seemed to be all because he couldn't get his flavour. 
 

I believe if the world was perfect he would still be like this.

But apart from that, OG, is everything ok? 😊

I agree with Untitled but I think it's also a matter of perspective.  If you have a busy working life and you are dealing with problems, the fact that it takes ages for someone to answer the phone etc is a big deal.  If you have nothing much to do and your horizons shrink then little things become big things.

I meant to say, if you have a busy working life, it 'Isn't' a big deal.
